Titanic vs Icon of the Seas: The World's Largest Cruise Ship

Two superships - two very different eras! In 1912 the world's largest passenger ship was the RMS Titanic, a floating engineering marvel of her age. But how does the ship compare against the largest cruise ship in the world today? The MV Icon of the Seas is a 248,000 ton behemoth, a floating pleasure palace with sumptuous food and endless activities. The differences in the 114 years of development and design improvements since Titanic steamed from Southampton in 1912 are truly remarkable to behold! This is the first in a new series exploring everything that's changed from 1912 to 2026. Please note: This video is not an advertisement.
