Australian company recreates ship replica, set to sail in 2018

Ever wondered about the splendour and magnificence the Titanic must have been in its day?

In time there'll be no more wondering as Australian company, Blue Star Line is planning to recreate the original Titanic ship, this time with modern amenities and safety standards.

According to Today, Blue Line Star owner, Clive Palmer had originally announced his plans to build the ship in 2012, but he faced delays which led the company to push the project back by 2 years.

Belfast Telegraph reports that the new vessel will have 840 cabins and a capacity of 2,400 passengers, while there will be a crew of roughly 900 people.

Reports say the ship plans to set off on its maiden voyage from Jiangsu, China, to Dubai, in 2018.

Although the company hasn’t said how much a ticket on the ship will cost, the company said they had been offered nearly $1 million by people to take the trip.
