Will the Titanic II have a Casino or Poker Room
The famous Titanic II will set to sail in 2018. Yes, these are the plans for the Australian Billionaire Clive Palmer. Clive Palmer is the billionaire owner of Blue Star Line, and since 2013 he’s been touting his company’s remarkable reboot: Titanic II, a full-sized larger, actually replica of the ill-fated Titanic, which so memorably sank in the North Atlantic in 1912.
With the extra added new “Safety deck” on the new Titanic II ship will also house a casino, shops, hospital and a four hundred seat theater. World’s leading third-party vessel management V.Ships leisure is appointed to contribute for the passengers entertainment.
Ships Specifications
The new ship will be 833 feet long, just three inches longer than the original and 4.2m (13.9ft) wider in order to increase stability. Titanic II ship external look will be of course a copy of her namesake but still it will be a 21-st century vessel with all the equipment and safety standards. Coal-fired boilers and steam engines will be replaced by diesel drivers.
New Titanic II ship will be powered by four Warstila 46F diesel generating sets, two 12 cylinder 12V46F engines each producing 14,400 KW and two eight cylinder producing 9,600 KW each. Three azimuth thrusters of the new Titanic 2 ship will do the propulsion and also the maneuvering as the replica rudder will only be a decoration.
Titanic 2 ship will have a two sectioned bridge. The forward section is designed to be an original RMS Titanic replica and the aft section a high technology bridge with all the available features in 2018.
A new extra “Safety deck” between original decks D and C is projected for 18 lifeboats and the safety chutes. It’s not yet decided whether there will be garage or cars on-deck storage on board. New Titanic 2 ship will have all the safety certificates, including of course SOLAS.
Clive first announced to create a replica of the Titanic which sank in the Atlantic Ocean in April 1912 and had earlier planned to begin carrying passengers in 2016. The ship will be mirrored after the original with exquisite First Class rooms and comfortable Third Class accommodations. According to Palmer, the Titanic II “will be a real financial bonanza” and also plans to build Titanic III.

Now with a launch date of 2018, James McDonald, the global marketing director of Palmer’s company Blue Star Line, says people are lining up “to be a part” of the project. The ship will be able to carry over 2,000 passengers and will be equipped with Turkish baths, swimming pools and exercise rooms.
