Titanic Experience Cobh
About
The Titanic Experience is set in the original White Star Line ticket office on Casement Square, the actual building from which 123 passengers boarded the tenders out to the Titanic on 11 April 1912, when Queenstown was her last port of call. Each visitor is given the boarding card of one of those passengers and follows their story through the experience, learning at the end whether they survived. It is the most-visited attraction in the town and books out on cruise-ship days, so reserve a slot ahead.
