It’s about time for adventurous souls all over to plan uber-creepy trips, like ghostly haunted houses, corn mazes full of ghouls, and, oh yeah, the Titanic Memorial Cruise.
That’s right. For almost a century there has been a melancholic fascination with the tragic sinking of the “unsinkable” that occurred on April 15th, 1912. This fascination has fueled dozens of books, documentaries, and that movie starring that guy (what’s his name again?). But now this enthrallment has gotten a little, dare we say, morbid.
On April 8th, 2012, the Titanic Memorial Cruise will set sail from Southampton, England, Titanic’s initial port. From there it will visit Cobh, Ireland, Titanic’s last port of call, and will continue on towards Halifax, N.S., Canada. Its final destination (hopefully) will be New York City.
The cruise will start out fairly normal. Besides the Titanic lectures, there’s a casino, some chic bars, and entertainment along the way that you would expect to find on Royal Caribbean. It’s not until April 15th at 2:20 a.m. when things start to get a little strange.
At this time, there will be a memorial service at the exact GPS coordinates where the ship sank commemorating the 100th anniversary of this tragedy. Guests aboard the boat will pay tribute to all while simultaneously freezing their butts off for the full experience. All in all the trip sounds like a once in a lifetime, educational experience with a gothic edge, but hey, whatever floats your boat (hopefully, once again).
To reserve your spot for the 2012 voyage, check out the cruise’s website. For an adventurous experience with a less eerie edge, check out our Adventure Cruise outfitters ratings. —Michelle Faber; Photograph courtesy of Fred Olsen Cruise Lines
When he does manage to get out for an evening, it's usually to stalk and scalp women in the empty subways and dark corners of The Big Apple.

It's not like I have a complicated version of it that I'm hiding. My version of it is the most simple version of it, but it's available for all these other interpretations. That's my safety.

It’s increasing the accuracy of aerial maps by an order of magnitude; indeed, the U.S. Geological Survey is currently working to remap every state with LIDAR.

I wonder if the band will still be playing whilst it is sinking.

One of the greatest artifacts that was found was an Italian Sofa that managed to float to shore. Among other pieces of furniture included a still working grandfather clock and a victorian dresser. It is strange how things like that work out.

I'm booked for 2012. I have had an obsession with seeing the Titanic after watching the movie in the 1990s. I can't wait for this.

For one brief moment in the Graham family, there was uncertainty. In uncertainty, there was hope. it had been so long but reminiscing everything about the tragedy brings back a fresh memory.

How sad but what a wonderful experience. I hear this cruise has sold out, I would have loved to have gone on it :-(

I feel so sad if you will realize many people died in that tragedy. Even you watched the movie Titanic the love story is also never die same with the feeling of all people who knows what happened to Titanic on April 15, 1912.

s a child I was slave to my impulses; now I am slave to my habits, as are all grown men. I have surrendered my free will to the years of accumulated habits and the past deeds of my life have already marked out a path which threatensdd

More than the feeling of adventure for this event, I felt more creepiness having to remember that tragic night. I just could not bear the thought being on the ship and commemorating the tragedy exactly the same date and coordinates where it happened.
