The Titanic VR Experience in Oberhausen: From the Ocean Floor to the Year 1912
The journey begins 3,800 meters below the ocean’s surface: First, you’ll dive down to the wreck, just as it lies today on the bottom of the Atlantic. Then you’ll travel back to April 1912, right into the middle of the legendary ocean liner’s maiden voyage.
Your guide is William Harbeck, the official filmmaker of the Titanic, who was actually on board at the time. Highlights include the Grand Staircase, the luxurious first-class cabins, the bridge at the moment of collision with the iceberg, and the field of debris on the ocean floor.
Outstanding attention to detail!
Two years of research went into this reconstruction. The ship, passengers, and events were recreated using archival material from the Cité de la Mer in Cherbourg and the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
With a VR headset and surround sound, you’ll move freely through the scenes. The details are so intricate that you can even read the menu on a dining table. Throughout, the exhibition remains respectful of the tragic context!
A Fan Favorite Abroad
The exhibition arrives in Oberhausen for its German premiere, highly recommended by audiences in London, New York, and Atlanta. British media praised the attention to detail, the surround sound, and the respectful narrative style, and recommended the experience as an outing for families and history buffs!
One guest says: “The most impressive virtual reality experience I’ve ever had. I can recommend it to everyone—whether you’re a Titanic fan or not!”
A fascinating experience
“Titanic: Echoes From The Past” is aimed at families (recommended for ages 8 and up), groups of friends, history buffs, and Titanic fans. With Christmas just around the corner, this experience is a godsend: If you’re once again at a loss for what to put under the tree, why not give the gift of an amazing experience!
And since the venue is right next to CentrO and the Gasometer, this trip to the Ruhr region can be perfectly combined with shopping, sightseeing, and a nice dinner. Book your trip now—tickets will sell out fast!
