Titanic II

Australian billionaire plans to build Titanic II | The Lookout - Yahoo! News

An Australian billionaire is planning on building a modern replica of the Titanic and having it go from England to NY. I'm not sure this is such a hot idea given the economy and probable cost of the ship. I'm guessing something more than $1B.

I don't know but I think such a ship would be guaranteed solid bookings at least for a few years!

That has never stopped anybody with too much money, look at Las Vegas, or indeed a modern cruiseship

You of course are talking about a different kind of taste, or lack of and I agree, it is a bit bizarre and over the top: Entertainment aboard a copy of a mass-grave.
