Would You Take A Maiden Voyage On The New Titanic II?

On April 10th, the Titanic departed from Southampton, England, on its maiden voyage to New York City.

One hundred thirteen years after its sinking, the legacy and stories of one of the most iconic ships to ever set sail live on.

Titanic II

Believe it or not, a very wealthy investor is currently working on building a replica of the Titanic.

Blue Star Line is currently building Titanic 2, which will have the almost exact look and feel of the original Titanic.

However, one of the most significant differences is that there will actually be enough lifeboats on the ship!

The company anticipates that the new ship will be ready around June of 2027.

So, the million-dollar question is, would you be among the first to hop on board and experience this new Titanic?

I've never been on a cruise, nor do I really want to go on one, but I'll be honest: I would be first in line to try out this ship!
