New! TiTaNic DiNNer ParTy Hands-On • 3 hr The most fascinating shipwreck in maritime history

marks its 100th anniversary this year. The ‘unsinkable’

presented in a multi-course marathon accompanied

by the finest French wines and liqueurs. The legend

surrounding the sinking of the now infamous ship

endures even a century later with the re-release of the

Academy-award wining movie, now in 3D. Join us

age of luxury and indulgence. We promise that the

class will end on a happier note than the movie!
