RMS Titanic set sail from Southampton at noon on 10 April 1912, only to end her maiden voyage so tragically less than five days later. Discover the local story of how this ill-fated liner affected so may lives; crew that 'missed the boat'; passengers that were saved.

Following collection from your hotel, the airport or cruise terminal here is an idea of what to expect:

• Discover Oxford Street, once the favourite haunt of Officers & crew, now home to Southampton's cosmopolitan bars & restaurants.
• Marvel at the magnificent South Western Hotel, only first class passengers allowed here, special treatment for a few millionaires.
• Drive into the Docks from where she sailed, then past the Head Office of the White Star Line - 549 crew from Southampton - few came home.
• Imagine the scene around the Atlantic Hotel, 90 years ago the roughest part of town, for 3rd class or steerage passengers 6 pubs all in a row.
• See Holyrood Church and the Memorial to fireman, stewards & crew.
• Finally the park and a tribute to the Musicians who continued to play and the engineers who failed to keep the water at bay.

Another local tour of just over 1 hour, exploring the places that will forever remind us of this tragic disaster. Once we have set the scene you may wish to visit the Maritime Museum to explore a wealth of Titanic Memorabilia.
