Clive Palmer Announces Revival of Titanic II Project for 2027 Launch

Clive Palmer has announced that the Titanic II project, which aims to recreate the iconic ocean liner, is back on track after previous setbacks. The ship is expected to be ready for service by 2027, offering passengers an authentic Titanic experience while incorporating modern safety features and technology. The project, initially launched in 2012, faced challenges with Chinese partners but was revived in 2018 with new design plans and partnerships in place.

The Titanic II will have a similar layout to the original ship but will also include modern elements such as diesel engines, bow thrusters, and azipod propulsion for improved maneuverability. The design will comply with current safety regulations and construction standards, with Deltamarin and V.Ships Leisure among the partners involved in the project. The ship will feature 835 cabins and accommodations for 2,435 passengers, aiming to recreate the grandeur and nostalgia of the original Titanic.

Palmer envisions the Titanic II as a unique journey back in time, encouraging passengers to dress in period styles and experience the luxury and history of the Titanic. The ship will offer dining options reminiscent of the original voyage, along with modern amenities and entertainment. Construction is set to begin next year, with a planned maiden voyage from Southampton to New York in 2027, followed by global voyages to inspire and enchant passengers. Palmer is confident in the project’s success, citing his financial resources and commitment to seeing the Titanic II through to completion as a highlight of his career.
