Travel to the darkest depths of the ocean for a one-of-a-kind adventure. Uncover the mysteries of the sea and discover hundreds of treasures once believed to be forever lost in Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition. The thrilling and immersive attraction at Luxor will capture your imagination, engage your senses and take you on a journey through the final moments of the ill-fated luxury liner ... and beyond.
Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition is far removed from the dusty relics of traditional museums. It’s as close as you can come to reliving the events of that historic and tragic night. Upon arrival, you’ll receive a ticket bearing the name of an actual passenger, then step aboard the Ship of Dreams to learn their ultimate fate. Along the way, you’ll experience the excitement of turn-of-the-century travel, the glamour of luxurious first class staterooms and the simpler pleasures of third class accommodations.
Have your portrait taken at an incredible re-creation of the famed Grand Staircase, then step “outside” to the Promenade Deck for a stroll under the stars. The chilly air will remind you of what lies ahead, waiting just above the surface. Under your feet, enormous engines clatter and throb, propelling the ocean liner ever onward through the frigid waters. Clang! Clang! Clang! Was that the warning cry of an iceberg ahead?
Return to the warmth of the exhibition and get lost among dozens of glass cases displayed within the cavernous halls. Listen to the voices of passengers that speak to you from beyond the grave, made possible via a self-guided audio tour. Learn what led those fateful souls aboard, the hopes and dreams they carried, then gaze upon their actual personal possessions that have been recovered from the ocean floor.
The effort to bring artifacts back from their final resting place on the ocean floor is an enormous undertaking. It combines the tireless work of archaeologists, explorers, historians, divers and scientists. Every piece must be meticulously restored, preserved, cataloged and researched. Who was the owner? What purpose did it serve? How does it further enlighten our understanding of the era? All of this and more are revealed as you delve deeper into their stories.
This year, Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition underwent a major refresh. New technologies have been installed, along with a photo station and props from the award-winning feature film. Additional enhancements will be brought on board throughout the year, including the ability to host private events and receptions. And for the first time ever, guests are now permitted to take their own photographs within the attraction.
Most importantly, a new collection of artifacts has joined the current ones on exhibit, including a massive section of the hull nicknamed “The Big Piece.” More than 100 items are making their debut at the Las Vegas location (there are official exhibitions in Orlando, Waco, Texas, and Richmond, Canada, as well). That includes 20 pieces that are now on display for the first time anywhere. They include such intriguing items as a chef’s baker hat, a chandelier from the first-class smoking room and a calling card of one Madame Zephey.
Whether it’s your maiden voyage or a return stroll down those legendary corridors, Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition is an unforgettable experience, and an adventure you’ll want to embark on time and again.
