The Titanic II will sail in 2022 and will do the same route as the original

The inaugural trip this year is canceled due to financial disputes of the company, but Blue Star Line reported that the project was resumed and that the Titanic II will arrive in four years.

Blue Star Line, by Australian businessman Clive Palmar, has an idea in his head for a couple of years: make an exact replica of the Titanic and navigate the original route of the ship, Southampton-New York, only with a previous trip that will leave Dubai.

The idea of a replica of the Titanic has kept the fans of the ship (and the film directed by James Cameron in 1997) on the lookout, it is assumed that in 2018 would make its maiden voyage, but was canceled due to problems with the Chinese company that would build it

But on Monday it was announced that from March 2019, the company will resume the project, in the first instance, because its cruise company will no longer have London as its headquarters, but Paris, the company announced. "We will not open our European office until March 2019, with Paris as an ideal position to meet the needs of the company," they shared on their official Facebook account.

It is expected that this new Titanic can transport 2,335 passengers and 900 crew members. It will have lifeboats with the capacity to accommodate 2,700 people, as well as rafts for 800 more, but will also include safety slides to comply with modern regulations. And to satisfy all the luxuries that the Titanic of 1912 had, Blue Star Line has invested 500 million dollars for several years to finance the

draft.

The prices for the inaugural trip have not yet been revealed, but according to some media reports, US billionaires have offered up to one million dollars for traveling on the Titanic II. It is planned that all the amenities that the original Titanic had are part of II.
