OLD Town-based travel counsellor Fiona Woodruffe was one of the first people in the UK to get a look inside the newest and largest cruise ship in the world, Freedom of the Seas, when it docked at Southampton. Launched by Royal Caribbean, the ship can hold 3,600 passengers.

Fiona was one of 330 travel counsellors from all over the country invited on board for the sneak preview. Fiona started her own travel business two years ago which she operates from home in Sandown Avenue.
