Titanic vs. Modern Cruise Ships: A Comparison
Size and Capacity
Despite being shorter than the Titanic by 5 feet, the Disney Cruise Ship is 13 feet wider. However, it pales in comparison to today's largest cruise ship, Royal Caribbean's Wonder of the Seas, which launched in November 2023. Wonder of the Seas has 18 decks and can accommodate over 6,988 passengers and 2,300 crew members.
Amenities
Modern cruise ships offer a wide range of amenities that the Titanic lacked, including multiple dining options, bars, pools, theaters, casinos, and even water parks. The Disney Wish, for example, boasts 15 decks, 1,254 staterooms, and space for 4,000 passengers and 1,555 crew members.
Safety Features
Titanic's sinking led to significant advancements in maritime safety regulations. Modern cruise ships are equipped with state-of-the-art navigation systems, fire suppression systems, and evacuation procedures, making them much safer than the Titanic.
