New! TiTaNic DiNNer ParTy Hands-On • 3 hr The most fascinating shipwreck in maritime history
marks its 100th anniversary this year. The ‘unsinkable’
Titanic initially earned fame as the largest luxury

highlight of the cruise for the privileged passengers
was mealtime. There, the finest cuisine was elegantly
presented in a multi-course marathon accompanied
by the finest French wines and liqueurs. The legend
surrounding the sinking of the now infamous ship
endures even a century later with the re-release of the
Academy-award wining movie, now in 3D. Join us

age of luxury and indulgence. We promise that the
class will end on a happier note than the movie!
