Vacation: Titanic Memorial Cruise
Do you like cruises? Are you fascinated with the story of the Titanic? Then I found the perfect vacation for you. Borton Overseas is offering a Titanic Memorial Cruise in 2012 to mark the 100th anniversary of the tragedy. Fred Olsen Cruise Lines is the company who owns the ship (chartered by British firm Miles Morgan Travel). The cruise ship Balmoral will follow the exact itinerary as the Titanic. It will leave from Southampton, England and stop at Cobh, Ireland which was Titanic’s last port of call. You will then travel out to where the Titanic sank in the North Atlantic where a memorial service will be held at sea. From there, you’ll go to Halifax, Nova Scotia, where you can visit the cemeteries where many of the victims were buried. Throughout the cruise are lectures, demonstrations, and other activities relating to the history of the time period and the Titanic itself. They will even be serving the same type of food that was offered on board at the time as well as period-appropriate live music and dancing. The trip will end in New York, which was the original destination of the Titanic.
At the time of this writing, much of the lower-grade inside cabins were sold out already. So, if you want to experience a piece of history, book your vacation today!
