The Titanic II will be physically identical, apart from new safety features to the original ship which sank beneath the frigid waves killing 1,503 people. In addition, the new ship's route will now be from Jiangsu, China, to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, instead of the original 1912 Southampton, England to New York voyage.
It 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. And also to meet modern safety standards of today, the Titanic II will have a welded and not riveted hull and be about four yards wider than the original. The ship will have 840 cabins and room for 2,400 passengers and 900 crew members.
Like the original, the Titanic II will offer first, second and third-class tickets.
This is what the Titanic II will looks like, compared with archive photographs from Titanic itself.
