What You Need to Know About Titanic VR
- April 10, 1912: the Titanic leaves Southampton on its maiden voyage to New York. Four days later, on April 14, 1912, the famous ocean liner strikes an iceberg off the coast of Newfoundland and sinks within hours. The disaster claims over 1,500 lives and remains one of the worst maritime catastrophes in history.
- The dramatic story of the shipwreck quickly captured the imagination of explorers, writers, and filmmakers. Most people remember James Cameron’s moving 1997 film starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet.
- The Titanic makes its return with an incredible interactive experience in one of New York’s largest virtual reality facilities. Put on your VR headset and board an amazing adventure aboard the Titanic. Tip: the experience is available in French.
- You’ll follow in the footsteps of passengers, exploring every corner of the ship—from the promenade deck to the engine room to the grand staircase. Then you’ll descend more than 3,800 meters (12,500 ft) to explore the wreck of the Titanic resting on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean. The recreation is remarkably accurate, based on two years of detailed research and documentation.
- The Titanic VR experience in New York lasts about 30 minutes. Add another 10 minutes or so for check-in and equipment setup.
