Titanic REINCARNATED!!!!!!!

The Titanic II

Have you ever dreamed of being Leonardo DiCaprio or Kate Winslet
standing on the bow of the Titanic looking out at the ocean? The dream
could soon become a reality as there are
plans for an ocean liner called the Titanic II to be built and ready
to set sail for passengers to travel on in 2016.

Australian born billionaire Clive Palmer has announced at a unveiling
in New York that his flagship cruise company Blue Star Line will begin
working on the ship in March 2014 to be completed by 2016, 104 years
after the original
voyage, and the ship will set sail from
Southampton to New York within the same
year.

Whereas the original was built by the famous Harland and Wolff
shipyard in Belfast, in a sign of how times have changed the Titanic
II will be constructed by state-owned Chinese company CSC Jinling
Shipyard.
The ship is being designed to be as similar, both
internally and externally as the original Titanic
ship, but obviously modern safety regulations and economic
considerations will now have to
be taken into consideration. The design teams are using the original
Titanic drawings to help
re-create an authentic look and feel to the ship.

Plans show a layout broadly similar to the
original, but with the third-class cabins
modernized, and consideration being given to en-suite cabins
throughout the ship. Also the room freed up by eliminating the steam
boilers of the original ship will be used for crew
quarters and various services. There will also be a safety deck (with
more lifeboats
obviously), a new high-tech engine, air-conditioning and service lifts.
There will be an on-board gymnasium which will be completed in Edwardian system
machines, a smoking room, Café Parisien along with reading and writing
rooms. There are also plans for a swimming pool and Moorish-
influenced Turkish baths again in the same design as the original
ship, and the world famous grand staircase along with glass
chandeliers will also be on-board for guests to admire.

Passengers can also enjoy the 'true 1912
experience' and leave the modern day
technology behind as there will be no
televisions or state-of-the-art music systems on board, nor internet
connections or mobile
phones. Each cabins wardrobe will be filled
with period costumes so that the guests can
also join in at themed nights on-board.
As with the original ship, there will be First,
Second and Third Class cabins and passengers
will not be allowed to mingle – apart from on
the safety deck, where there will be a casino
and theatre.
Passengers will be able to buy a six-day ticket
for one class, or a mixed ticket covering two days in each section.
Prices have not been set yet although Palmer says he has already had
offers from 16 people of between £500,000 and £850,000 (GBP) for
berths but has stated that this is nowhere near the prices that would
be charged.
Palmer also has said that he is very pleased to have had over 40,000
people express an interest on the internet alone which shows that
there is
a market out there for people wanting to re-live this magical
experience and spend time on-board a ship of this grandeur and class.

The ship will carry 2,435 passengers and so will be asking for 900
plus crew members to service the guests 24/7 so keep checking the
website for any potential jobs that may allow you to work on this
fantastic vessel.
