Almaco Group has completed a modernization project onboard the Liberty of the Seas, delivering upgrades to catering, public and accommodation areas across the ship.

As a full turnkey supplier, the group managed the project from engineering and procurement through installation and delivery. The project took place at Damen Shipyard and was completed in May 2026.

Baptiste Guillou, one of Almaco’s project managers, said: “The successful delivery of the project relied on close coordination between all parties involved, supported by thorough preplanning and the ability to adapt to changes along the way.”

“Good collaboration with Royal Caribbean and Damen Shipyard played a key role in ensuring smooth execution. Almaco is pleased to continue its cooperation with both partners and looks forward to future projects together,” added Guillou.

According to the group, the ship’s modernization was a demanding project that required strong communication and coordination with the customer, yard, suppliers and vendors before and during the project.

The catering scope covered an approximately galley, a pantry, and three bar areas: Starbucks, The Lime & Coconut and El Loco Fresh.

Almaco said in a press release that in addition to catering areas, it delivered several accommodation and public area conversions across different decks.

On Deck 2, an old conference area was transformed into a new cabin area with 24 cabins, including structural modifications and raised flooring solutions.

On Deck 10, the former library was converted into four cabins and a new corridor, requiring additional steel partitioning works.

Further cabin areas were created by converting existing spaces across the ship.

On Deck 11, part of the gym and former spa area was rebuilt into eight larger cabins, including structural steel works.

On Deck 12, a section of the Adventure Ocean area was transformed into a new cabin area with ten family-type suites, requiring close coordination with other contractors due to adjacent structural modifications.

Almaco also transformed the former Sabor restaurant on Deck 4 into the new Japanese restaurant concept Izumi, including both catering systems and interior outfitting.

The group’s catering and accommodation teams delivered these in collaboration.
