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.

Somebody has a lot of money to spend.

Nnnyyaaaa.. No. WHITE STAR LINERS Have a bad record.

[PROCON]

It’s unsinkable!

[BenLurkin]

Three of the funnels will be for decoration only.

I’m glad to see that Titanic II has a bigger lifeboat capacity.

Still, taking a cruise on a ship named the Titanic would seem to be asking for trouble.

There’s tempting the Gods and there’s rebuilding Titanic...

[ransomnote]

Good that they added an additional 1600 lifeboats...
Have the locks been removed from the escape routes out of steerage?

[dfwgator]

What could possibly go wrong?

[gov_bean_ counter]

More than just a little bit creepy...

If mrs p6 and I hit the lottery before T2 sails, we’re in.

[Bull Snipe]

Hopefully they will extend the major watertight bulkheads up to the main deck this time.

“Dixon Brothers! Paging the Dixon Brothers!”

On a scale of 1-10 my level of superstitiousness is maybe a 1, or slightly less.
That said, the last thing I would do is tempt fate by booking a ticket on a ship also named Titanic. Good grief!

[IronJack]

Whereas on Titanic, only one was.

[showme_the_Glory]

I will go on

[bubbacluck]

Uh....it is being built in a shipyard in China. Should this be a concern?

[goldstategop]

I love the period look and Edwardian and Jacobean feel of the new liner.

It makes it feel warm and inviting. You feel like you’re living in 1912.

Dixon Brothers?
