Modeled after the Titanic that struck an iceberg in 1912, the Titanic II is set to set sail in 2018, departing from Jiangsu, China, to Dubai. It will feature amenities such as a small swimming pool and Turkish baths, recreating the experience of the original ship. The question is, would you want to take the trip?

According to the UK's Daily Mail, Australian businessman, politician, and owner of Blue Star Line, Clive Palmer, is building the Titanic II, which of course is designed to today’s safety standards. The ship will have 840 cabins across three different classes, accommodating 2,435 passengers and 900 crew members.

Although ticket prices have not yet been announced, the ship is estimated to have cost around £300–400 million to build.
