Before becoming the name of the most famous ship in history, titanic referred to the Titans, a family of giants in Greek mythology who were believed to have once ruled the earth. They were subsequently overpowered and replaced by the younger Olympian gods under the leadership of Zeus. The size and power of the Titans is memorialized in the adjective titanic and in the noun titanium, a chemical element of exceptional strength that is used in the production of steel.
What an amazing experience this was. Although relatively short, it was packed full of interesting facts and stories, and the guides were very knowledgeable. Our teenage grandson found it fascinating, so it must have been good!
An absolutely poignant but fantastic attraction right on our doorstep. Reliving the titanic experience of those aboard the ship during that time was both unbelievable but very special. The staff were amazing and knowledgeable and more than willing to answer and explain everything. A truly unforgettable experience and would highly recommend to anyone near and far!
Visited here as a group of 5 having read about it on line. Upon entry you are given a boarding pass of a real life passenger of the titanic, at the end of the tour you can look up your passenger name and find out their story and whether they survived- really brought the experience to life. There are lots of artefacts and information on the tour and many real life stories to discovery. All in all we really enjoyed the experience and the story around Cobh and the titanic which is often over looked. Would definitely recommend.
This tour is just fabulous very visual. We had watched the movie with our 10year old before going which really upped the interest. The ticket you receive is a fantastic idea great excitement seeing if you survived or not. The interactive room is so well done. Just enough facts told in an easy to follow way. It was very interesting to read the passengers stories at the end of the tour.
We really enjoyed this tour! It really brings the story of the Titanic to life as you hear about the real passengers, their lives and what became of them afterwards. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and passionate! Also felt extremely safe from a COVID perspective with a young baby as social distancing and sanitisation standards were all upheld to a high standard. Would recommend to any couples or young families
