The Titanic II will make its maiden voyage from Dubai to Southampton in 2022, after which it will re-enact the exact same travel plan as the original ship, sailing from Southampton to New York, hopefully bypassing icebergs and avoiding a movie-inspiring sinking. The boat’s hull will also be welded rather than riveted. While the replica will feature much of the same dated décor as the Titanic, safety measures and navigational instruments onboard are said to be state of the art. It’s for this exact reason that some technical specifications have been changed, in order to provide passengers peace of mind. However, the dubious disaster which befell the original ship in the icy North Atlantic Ocean has cast an ominous omen over the Titanic II. Conceptually, Titanic wasnt too different from modern cruise ships. The ship reflected Ismay and Pirries goals of a posh, fast and safe ship.
