New Titanic will sail from Dubai in 2022

 

A faithful replica of the RMS Titanic will undergo a two-week maiden voyage from Dubai when it sets sail in 2022.

After that, it will begin regular trips along the original Titanic's planned route between Southampton and New York City. The vessel - so named the 'Titanic II' - will be owned and operated by Blue Star Line.

According to the brand's chairman, Clive Palmer, the project is slightly delayed. But the maiden voyage will still include Dubai. "We're still going to cruise from Dubai," Palmer admitted to Cruise Arabia & Africa.

“After a shakedown cruise from the shipyard to Singapore, we’ll offer a two-week maiden voyage to Dubai, with another grand voyage from Dubai to Southampton.”

The launch date is of particular note, as 2022 will mark exactly 110-years since the original Titanic hit an iceberg and sank into the Atlantic. According to Palmer, everything (except its fate, hopefully) is going to be faithfully recreated.

“Blue Star Line will create an authentic Titanic experience, providing passengers with a ship that has the same interiors and cabin layout as the original vessel, while integrating modern safety procedures, navigation methods and 21st-century technology to produce the highest levels of luxurious comfort,” Palmer added.

How will the Titanic II get around the same icebergs that sank the last one? It's going to avoid them entirely. The new vessel will only travel between New York and Southampton over the summer. During the colder months, it will take punters on round-the-world excursions instead.

According to the original plans, the ship will accommodate 2,400 passengers and 900 crew members (the original Titanic held 1,400 passengers and 900 crew).

    • got a bronze medal in baseball on the final day, which means  are the only NOCs to leave without single medal in the end.    It'll be a busy year for them though, so plenty more chances at the Central American and Caribbean Games and South American Games. 
    • it's great that some top regional talent took part too. It's a nice way to open up the outdoor season, honestly.

    • Wrestling in the USA is strong thanks to its universities, but surprisingly, they are not very strong in judo. I wonder why?
    • Women's wrestling has been at the Olympics for first time in 2004, just like women`s boxing, so it used to be a men's sport on the all world, maybe without Japan. But Russia retains the culture of the former USSR, where women could always participate in almost all sports, unlike Iran under the ayatollahs, etc Sure, Russia has its various Islamic republics: Dagestan, Chechnya- but the 50 years of the USSR and its ideas and propagandas about life and sport still had a significant impact for people. However, the cradle of women's wrestling is and always has been Japan-, but judo has probably always been more popular there, so I'm sure a lot of talented girls go there, not wrestling.
    • Russia was never a super power in women's wrestling, they are just another decent team.   why ? that's simple. most of top Russian freestyle wrestlers are from Dagestan. probably 7-8 from the current team in Albania. and I assume in that region women are not encouraged to take this sport. if you remove Dagestan from Russia, their men's freestyle team will do more or less the same.   I'm not familiar with the Russian culture in general but I assume even nation-wide (and not only Dagestan) this is considered the men's sport.    of course in the World Championship those 3 teams you mentioned can go toe to toe with Russia or even do better. from this Russian team I only see Sadulaev to win the gold at worlds. (+ Sidakov if he returns and maybe Uguev depending on Japan's squad )   still the depth of Russian freestyle is unmatched. they can send their #5 guy and be still competitive for a top 6 finish, can't say the same about any other team.
    • In the women's, however, Russia took a strong beating from Ukraine, but surely there wasn't a all top-tier Russian girls here? Judo, in my opinion, is developing better and more countries are at the leading countries, than wrestling. Situation is slightly better in the world than in Europe, because we do have the USA, Japan and Iran. Unfortunately in Europe, this sport is a joke and is becoming a second table tennis, where people from other countries are naturalized and win medals for others, even though they have nothing in common with them.
    • You are rigth, i dont discuss that, Panama is "Colombia junior", and they have only one year for organize this event, a particular edition without doubt.
