Titanic, an immersive journey departing from Antwerp

Embark on a timeless journey! In Antwerp, the exhibition Titanic: An Immersive Journey invites you to relive the legend of the most famous ocean liner in history through a captivating experience blending emotion, technology and authenticity.

Diving into the history of the Titanic

Set inside the DIVE centre in Antwerp, this exhibition takes you to the heart of the RMS Titanic legend.

You’ll discover how the ship was built, its luxurious cabins, promenade decks and interior corridors, before reliving the tragic moment of the collision with the iceberg. It’s both an educational and emotional experience, paying tribute to the passengers and crew who were lost.

A sensory and technological experience

Beyond display cases and scale models, Titanic: An Immersive Journey focuses on emotion. Sound, light, projections and set design surround you to make you relive the great moments of the ship. One of the most striking attractions is the virtual reality experience, which plunges you into the depths of the Atlantic — more than 4,000 metres below the surface — to explore the wreck of the Titanic.

This option is available only with the VIP ticket and is well worth it: visitors describe it as breathtaking, “as if you were really there.”
