'We deeply regret this incident, and are doing everything we can to make our passengers as comfortable as possible under these difficult circumstances,' company spokeswoman Julie Benson said. The gleaming white vessel edged into Southampton port, southern England on a sunny morning on Saturday and will be welcomed with a fireworks display in the evening. The ship can hold over 3,600 guests, is 15 decks high and is the length of 37 buses. The vessel, which will sail next Wednesday for New York before heading to its Miami base from where it will ply the Caribbean trade, wrested the crown as the world's biggest liner from the 151,000-tonne Queen Mary 2 launched over two years ago. At 158,000 tons, the Freedom of the Seas offers a pool with artificial waves for surfers, an ice rink and cantilevered whirlpools that extend out from the sides of the ship, 112 feet above the sea.
