A fully-functioning imitation of the Titanic will soon be ready to take passengers on its maiden voyage. <br /> <br />Originally scheduled to set sail in 2016, the ship will now set sail from Jiangsu, China to Dubai in 2018. <br /> <br />Although Titanic II has been modelled on its infamous "unsinkable" predecessor, it has been updated to meet modern safety requirements. <br /> <br />The first, second and third class cabins are remodelled on the original ship - albeit with updated technology. <br /> <br />On board passengers will have the chance to revisit the grand staircase, smoking room, Cafe Parisian and Marconi Room, all of which are being recreated almost to the exact detail. <br /> <br />The ship can carry around 2435 passengers and 900 crew. <br /> <br />"The new Titanic will of course have modern evacuation procedures, satellite controls, digital navigation and radar systems and all those things you'd expect on a 21st century ship," James McDonald, the firm's marketing director, said. <br /> <br />He also added that the resurrection of famed Titanic brand - more than a century after the original ship sank during her maiden voyage - was exciting for people across the world. <br /> <br />"We own the Titanic II name and trademark and people are lining up to be a part of it," Mcdonald added. <br /> <br />Despite people "lining" up to book a trip on the cruise liner, it has been reported that there have been complaints from relatives of those who died on the original Titanic voyage in 1912. <br /> <br />The ship is the brainchild of Australian mining entrepreneur Clive Palmer who unveiled the blueprints for Titanic II in 2012.
