Full Title: The Titanic sails again: Inside the lavish £300million replica of doomed ocean liner, which is due to set sail in 2018
If this replica of the RMS Titanic ever sets sail, it will look eerily similar to the ill-fated ocean liner that remains the most famous ship of all time.
These captivating side-by-side images show how the planned Titanic II will stick to the incredible detail of the original ship that sank in the Atlantic Ocean more than 100 years ago.
Even though today's massive cruise ships have on-board amenities such as robot bartenders and giant slides, the Titanic replica will be toned down in comparison and stay true to its namesake with a small swimming pool, Turkish baths and an Edwardian gym.

I went to see the exhibit of the Titanic when it came to a museum where I used to live. It was fascinating!
If I had the means, I would want to book a voyage!
Let’s hope it’s not an “Exact” replica.
Ha, great song!
at least it aint the Irish.
A little less carbon in the steel I hope!
That original pool is still filled with salt water.....
Pardon me if I’m not interested in the maiden voyage.
Be funny as anything if somebody got a submarine, made some modifications, and chased after the ship with a replica iceberg.
In Weak Rivets, a Possible Key to Titanic’s Doom
I remember years ago seeing on educational-type TV regarding Titanic, Air Force officer who investigated Titanic had found evidence that metals of alloy bolts had been mixed in wrong ratios.
Corrections, insights welcome.
If this Titanic II sinks, the press conference is going to have a lot of people in the background biting their lips to keep holding back laughter.
The underwater tour is fantastic!
LOL
Ooh I would sooo love to sail on her! I’m slightly obsessed with all design and architecture from this period!
Just hope the pirates/jihadis don’t catch wind of it...
Only if they let me drive!
Only one was decoration on the first.
“Leo? It’s your agent. Got a gig for you. No, it’s sort of a gurgling part, actually...”
How much did they spend on the replica iceberg?
