TITANIC: AN IMMERSIVE VOYAGE TO SET SAIL ON 30-MARKET WORLD TOUR

Latest Offering from Exhibition Hub in Partnership with Fever will Make Dual Debuts in Milan and Atlanta

Join us on a once-in-a-lifetime expedition to experience Titanic, the most luxurious ship to ever set sail. Featuring more than 300 artifacts, dramatic room re-creations, never-before-seen 3D views, video animations, and cutting-edge technology, Titanic: An Immersive Voyage tells the story of the RMS Titanic like never before.

Exhibition Hub, a pioneer in traveling, immersive entertainment, in partnership with Fever, the leading global live-entertainment discovery platform, White Star Memories, and a collaborative of Titanic collectors announced the launch of its latest exhibition Titanic: An Immersive Voyage. The companies also announced that Milan, Italy and Atlanta, Georgia have been selected as the initial host cities for the next generation experience. Titanic: An Immersive Voyage is scheduled to open in Atlanta on Friday, July 19th.


Titanic: An Immersive Voyage will feature more than 300 artifacts from Titanic and its sister vessels the Olympic and the Britannic, as well as objects from Carpathia and Californian, two additional ships key to

Titanic’s story. Items to be showcased in the experience were curated from multiple collections including treasures from Kevin Saucier, the owner of one of the largest private collections of Titanic memorabilia in the world. Priceless artifacts from the collection of Spencer Knarr will also be featured in the all-new Titanic experience. Mr. Knarr started his collection at the age of 12.

Titanic: An Immersive Voyage represents an entirely new approach to the story of the world’s most famous ocean liner. The experience features more than 300 artifacts, and dramatic room re-creations from the ship, along with advanced theatrical techniques and breathtaking technological overlays that place guests inside the story of the celebrated Titanic.

Titanic: An Immersive Voyage widens the lens on the Titanic tragedy to include other important players, including: her sister ships Olympic and Britannic; the rescue ship Carpathia; the Californian that sat nearby in silence; and the largest actor of all in the story, the Iceberg whose journey is traced from its birth to its complete dissolution in the Atlantic just a few short days after the disaster.

Brought to life by the creators of the revolutionary Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience and Bubble Planet Experience, Titanic: An Immersive Voyage uses cutting-edge storytelling technology to create a powerful emotional connection between visitors and those 2,200 souls onboard. The experience also features hands-on activities, in-depth learning opportunities, projection mapping, a detailed audio tour, educational materials, a special selfie zone, a unique green-screen photo opportunity and an expansive retail store with items from Titanic and her sister ships for sale.

EDITOR"S NOTE: 

I saw this exhibit last Thursday and loved it! This exhibit is filled with interesting artifacts and elegant room re-creations. You really feel as though you are literally on the ship! Then, you are inside a lifeboat surrounded by water, under a star-filled sky as you watch the great unsinkable ship break in two and slip under the water. I'm not sure if the the Virtual Reality Experience is included or extra, but you definitely want to do it! It is amazing!!  They say the duration is 60 to 90 minutes, but I would advise you to expect to be there at least 2 hours.

I highly recommend this exhibit. There is no age requirement and children under 4 are free. But personally, I think that children over  12 would enjoy it most. This would be a great Date Night, Girls Night Out or Teen Night activity. Plus, with the location on Buford Highway, you are surrounded by some terrific Asian restaurants!
