Chief Executive, Tim Husbands MBE commented “Launch Day on 31st May 1911 was a proud day for Belfast – with over 100,000 spectators and journalists travelling from London and America to report on the launch of Titanic and watch as Olympic and the tender ships Nomadic and Traffic left the city. We are pleased to be able to reunite the stories of the two ships again after 105 years, as well as add real value and a unique heritage experience to the interpretative and interactive Titanic Belfast experience. ”

Titanic Belfast has retained its five-star experience rating after being the first visitor attraction in Northern Ireland to obtain the rating. The five-star accreditation was awarded by Tourism Northern Ireland and is designed to provide visitors with quality grading information on Northern Ireland’s tourist attractions. It is reflective of the world-class hospitality training staff have undertaken, and their dedication and passion in telling the world about RMS Titanic and Belfast’s proud maritime and ship-building heritage.

To achieve a star-rating, attractions are subject to checks from a mystery visitor and are assessed in up to six categories. Caroline Adams, TNI Quality & Standards Manager said: “Titanic Belfast has set the bar as high as it can go in terms of visitor numbers, quality, customer service and the visitor experience they are delivering. I encourage others to follow their five-star lead and make the Northern Ireland tourism industry truly outstanding.”
