Behind the Scenes

Norwegian Cruise Line has introduced a new enhanced version of its 'Behind the Scenes' backstage tour onboard its ships, which is seven hours long!

The tour includes:

• The laundry areas
  
• The galley to see the chefs at work preparing meals
  
• Backstage of the theatre, including the wardrobe room
  
• The bridge for a meet and greet with the ship's captain

The new longer version adds things like a sushi-making demonstration and sake tasting, pre-dinner cocktails in one of the ship's lounges, plus dinner in speciality restaurant, Cagney's Steakhouse.

Titanic's 100th Anniversary

The 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic is being celebrated with a cruise, which recreates the sailing of the infamous ship in 1912.

Scheduled for April 2012, British company Miles Morgan Travel has chartered Fred Olsen's Balmoral for the trans-Atlantic voyage from Southampton to New York, following the Titanic's original route.

A memorial service will be held on 15 Apr in the exact location where the ship went down, and the food and entertainment match the original cruise.

Even spookier, the cruise is taking bookings for 1,309 passengers - the same number that sailed on the Titanic.
