The ship is the culmination of humanity's ambitions, hopes and dreams of conquering the sea. She beckons rich and poor alike, promising to fulfil the dreams of all those who step aboard her decks.

For a few wild days onboard the opulent liner she finally tastes the freedom she has longed for her whole life.
