Freedom of the Seas arrived and docked in Southampton docks over the May Bank Holiday Weekend. She is an amazing feat of engineering, and you cannot grasp the scale until standing below her.

Royal Caribbean International's Freedom of the Seas, the world's largest and most innovative cruise ship, will make her UK debut in Southampton for the Bank Holiday, visiting the docks between 29th April and 3rd May 2006.

The 160,000 tonne ship, taller than London's Oxo Tower and longer than 37 double-decker buses, arrived at the City Cruise Terminal at 9AM on Saturday 29th April.

Freedom of the Seas will receive many media and travel industry visitors onboard, showcasing her impressive and world-class features including the first-ever onboard surf park, the 'FlowRider', the tallest onboard rock climbing wall and the largest at-sea fitness centre.

Leaving in a blaze of fireworks, she is one cruise ship that will leave her mark.
