Titanic II Set for 2027 Launch by Australian Billionaire

Clive Palmer revives his ambitious project, aiming to outdo the original Titanic in luxury and safety.

  • Australian billionaire Clive Palmer announces plans to build Titanic II, aiming for a 2027 launch.
  • The replica aims to be 'far superior' to the original, with a cost estimated between $500 million and $1 billion.
  • Palmer's previous attempts in 2012 and 2018 were stalled, but he now seeks to re-engage partners and find a shipbuilder by year's end.
  • Titanic II will replicate the original's voyage from Southampton to New York, with nearly half of its rooms reserved for first-class passengers.
  • Palmer, with a net worth of $4.2 billion, dismisses skepticism and emphasizes the project's potential for promoting peace.
