The interior of Titanic II, a 1912 titanic replica that could sail in 2022
The history of Titanic has intrigued us for many years, and for the most fascinated with her, there will soon be a way to experience the wonder of climbing one of the most luxurious cruises in the world.
In 2022, a new ship inspired by the authentic titanic with space for 2.400 passengers could sail for the first time, thanks to the Australian businessman Clive Palmer, who has invested 460 million in this project.
The Titanic LL, although equipped with navigation and security technology of the 21st century, will be a replica similar to the original vessel.
This is the comparison between the navigation of the Titanic LL and that of the Titanic of 1912.
The RMS Titanic was the greatest cruise of its time in early 1900, and its builders were proud explaining that it was impossible for him to sink.

The transatlantic covered 268.8 meters long and 30.3 wide.

If we compare it with the largest cruise of today, it is very small.The 'Symphony of the Seas' by Royal Caribbean, is 362 meters long and covers 65 meters wide in its widest part.

The first -class cabins were the most expensive and spacious, so the richest people chose them for their stay.
This is the appearance of a cabin of different size aboard the Titanic.
