And In 2037, You Can Fly From Germany to New Jersey in an Airship!

I agree with Jill, this is probably the worst concept for a vacation since the Donner Party Memorial Hike and Barbecue:
British travel firm Miles Morgan Travel are taking reservations for this unique cruise that will commemorate the Titanic's tragic voyage in April 1912.

Our voyage of a lifetime will sail from Southampton on 8th April 2012 the twelve night cruise on board the MS Balmoral and will follow the RMS Titanic's original itinerary, passing by Cherbourg on the French coast before calling into the Irish port of Cobh.

From here the ship will sail across the Atlantic, arriving at the Titanic site on April 14th/15th exactly 100 years on from this tragic voyage, where a memorial service will be held to pay tribute to the brave passengers and crew who perished on that fateful night.
If they agree to have a firing party ready to shoot every idiot who tries to stand at the bow and yell "I'm King udda Woild", then it could be interesting.

(I threw in the Donner Party reference as a bit of pure snark, but after I wrote it, I googled it and sure enough, there really is such a thing.)

    There's a cafeteria at the U of Colorado called the Alferd Packer Memorial Grill, with the slogan "Have a friend for lunch"...
