Awake Goy The mega-ship is set to launch in less than two years, according to the Belfast Telegraph, but this comes after years of preparation and design as the project was first announced in April 2012.The original ‘RMS Titanic’ collided with an iceberg on its maiden voyage and sank, killing 1,503 people in the North Atlantic Ocean. But the ship’s tragic fate doesn’t seem to scare potential travelers: many are expressing their desire to sail aboard the replica.
Just as with the original, the new Blue Star version is also set to boast three different classes to cater to all budgets, offering its clients a swimming pool, Turkish baths and gyms.
The giant liner will have nine floors with 840 cabins set to accommodate 2,400 passengers and 900 crew members. Although the designers are working hard to create a near-exact replica, some of the features will have to go. These include wood-paneled walls, as they won’t pass modern safety regulations and will have to be replaced with veneers.
“The new Titanic will of course have modern evacuation procedures, satellite controls, digital navigation and radar systems and all those things you’d expect on a 21st-century ship,” James McDonald, the global marketing director of Palmer’s company Blue Star Line, told the Belfast Telegraph.
