It will welcome 2,400 passengers and 900 crew members, USA Today reported, almost the exact same number of each on board the boat that sunk in 1912.
For those who are skittish about history repeating itself, this passage will include the appropriate number of lifeboats, life-jackets, and many modern safety features.
The original liner’s maiden voyage was cut short after hitting an iceberg. The accident and lack of safety features on the original vessel caused the loss of over 1,500 lives, more than two-thirds of those on board.
After its initial first journey, the ship will plan to offer worldwide cruises to its passengers.

No word was available if passengers would be able to stand on the mast for a romantic photo op a la Jack and Rose in the beloved film.
