Relatives of passengers who died on the Titanic are among those attending a cruise in 2012 to mark 100 years since the disaster.

Quote from the article:

The Balmoral cruise ship will retrace Titanic's route, leaving Southampton on 8 April 2012 for New York. A ceremony will take place on board to mark the time the ship began to sink. Among those attending will be author Arthur Cropley, the great-nephew of Charles Herbert Lightoller, the second officer who was also the most senior member of the crew to survive. During the crossing, they will eat food based on the dishes served on board Titanic. Last week, a United States federal judge awarded a US exhibition company $110m for salvaging artefacts from the wreck of the Titanic. The judge ruled that RMS Titanic Inc, which displays the artefacts in museums across the world, is entitled to their full market value.
