In 2022, some 110 years after the iconic Titanic sank, Titanic II will embark on its maiden voyage.
The replica ship from Australian company Blue Star Line, will follow the same route that the ill-fated liner was due to take when it sank in 1912.
The original sank after hitting an iceberg during its maiden voyage to New York City from Southampton.
This modern replica boasts much more up-to-date safety features and navigation technology, BelfastLive reports.
Titanic II is inspired by the infamous liner, but it will boast modern day amenities and features.
There will be plenty of nods to Titanic itself, from the layout and interiors, with designs inspired by the iconic ship - including a near identical version of the ship's grand staircase.
Titanic II is expected to carry approximately 2,400 passengers as well as 900 members of crew.
The project has been a few years in the making with the company first announcing plans to build the ship in 2013, and while there were several models and tests already taking place, the venture was stalled during some financial disputes.
However the project is now firmly back on track, with a 2022 launch although the exact date has yet to be confirmed.
Blue Star Line recently revealed it would be setting up its headquarters in Paris, in light of Brexit and the likelihood of a no-deal agreement being reached between the UK and European Union.
Blue Star Line chairman Clive Palmer said: "It is of little use having a European headquarters outside Europe.
"The decision will mean we won’t open our European office until March 2019, with Paris being ideally placed to suit the company’s needs."
