Titanic: A Night To Remember (2026)

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND

Step aboard the RMS Titanic for an unforgettable evening of history, elegance and drama.       At Titanic: A Night To Remember, guests will have drawn the name of an actual Titanic passenger after registering.  The evening will unfold based on your person's identity through a specially prepared meal based on your assigned class.  

First-Class guests will indulge in the finest fare while Second Class Passengers enjoy a menu based on the middle class experience.  Third-Class Travelers will partake in a more humble meal representing a simple but satisfying fare of steerage passengers.

Dress the part to fully immerse yourself in the era if you wish.  Engage in period-appropriate conversation and interact with fellow passengers while you step back in time to one of history's most famous voyages.  Perhaps some well-known passengers will be sitting at your assigned table.
