New Titanic


A memorial service will be held to mark the ship's sinking, between 11:40 p.m. April 14, and 2:20 a.m. April 15.


The ship will then head to Halifax, Nova Scotia, where passengers will be able to visit three cemeteries in which Titanic victims are buried. The final destination for the cruise is New York -- the Titanic's intended destination.



The British firm Miles Morgan Travel has chartered the Balmoral, a ship owned by Fred Olsen Cruise Lines, for the voyage. The Balmoral holds 1,350 passengers and a crew of 510 and has 710 cabins. Prices for the 12-night trip started at $3,900 for an inside cabin, including taxes.


The cruise will include food that matches the menus of the original voyage, a live band offering music from that era and lectures by historians.

Borton Overseas of Minneapolis is handling reservations for U.S. travelers. Details at 800-843-0602 or
