That is from a promotional video made by Aker Yards about the time Freedom of the Seas was delivered. In the video, the CGI ship fades away to reveal Freedom behind it.

How long until RCCL builds a ship based on this design? I think many people on here (myself included) laughed at Aker Yards imaginative design when they showed off the split ship idea which was eventually built at a smaller scale with the Oasis.
