Would you believe that a British Travel agency are offering places on cruise to mark the 100th Anniversary of the Titanic Disaster. Miles Morgan travel are offering passage on board the MS Balmoral that will set sail on 8th April 2012 and follow the exact ill-fated journey of the RMS Titanic. They will arrive at the Titanic site on April 14th/15th at exactly 100 years after “the night to remember” where a memorial service will be held. According to their website, 12 cabin grades have already sold out - “Book Now.”
The cheapest cabins left for the twelve night cruise are are £2,650. The premier suite and marquee suite have sold out but the superior and balcony junior are still available at £5,995 and £5,195 respectively. Call me a cynic but I think they are telling porky pies. First, I don’t really think there are that many Titanic groupies with that sort of cash who would pay for this. Also I don’t believe that most cabins would sell out so quickly - especially if the event is still 2 years away. But most importantly, I don’t believe that there are that many willing to tempt fate. If you really felt some connection with that terrible event, would you want to retrace the footsteps? I don’t think so. I may be wrong but I await to see.
