It was loosely based upon the design of the original [[Earth]] sea-going vessel ''[[RMS Titanic]]''. This was primarily a tourist vessel and it is unclear whether [[Max Capricorn]], the owner, was aware of the name's significance. The ship had a [[humanoid]] crew, supplemented by a contingent of information and service [[robot]]s called [[Heavenly Host|Hosts]], who offered assistance and advice to the passengers. | It was loosely based upon the design of the original [[Earth]] sea-going vessel ''[[RMS Titanic]]''.

The vessel, under the command of [[Hardaker|Captain Hardaker]], travelled to Earth in [[December]] [[2008]] to allow its passengers to experience the Earth holiday of [[Christmas]]. The vessel was bedecked with Christmas decorations and its band performed Christmas songs. Some facts related to the holiday were skewed by the ship's poorly informed history expert, Mr [[Copper (Voyage of the Damned)|Copper]]. [[Tenth Doctor|The Doctor]], fresh from leaving [[Martha Jones]] on Earth ([[TV]]: ''[[Last of the Time Lords]]'') and a brief encounter with his [[Fifth Doctor|fifth incarnation]] ([[TV]]: ''[[Time Crash]]''), accidentally collided his [[the Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] with the ''Titanic'', though neither vessel was damaged. The Doctor boarded the vessel, effectively as a stowaway and befriended several passengers as well as crewmembers Bayldon Copper and [[Astrid Peth]]. | The vessel, under the command of [[Hardaker|Captain Hardaker]], travelled to Earth in [[December]] [[2008]] to allow its passengers to experience the Earth holiday of [[Christmas]].

Unknown to the passengers and crew, Capricorn had arranged for the ''Titanic'' to be destroyed in Earth orbit to take revenge on the board of directors of his company, who had forced him out of his own firm. Captain Hardaker, terminally ill, had agreed to pilot the vessel in return for his family being taken care of. Capricorn, himself a [[cyborg]], also boarded the vessel but expected to be protected from the disaster and later rescued. | Unknown to the passengers and crew, Capricorn had arranged for the ''Titanic'' to be destroyed in Earth orbit to take revenge on the board of directors of his company, who had forced him out of his own firm.

In the [[Donna's World|alternate timeline]] orchestrated by the [[time beetle]], the Doctor, having died a year earlier, did not prevent the ''Titanic'' from crashing to Earth in the heart of London. Although the resulting explosion did not wipe out all life on Earth, it decimated southern England, almost instantly transforming the nation into a third-world country. This led to a series of events that resulted in it becoming a police state. This timeline was negated when [[Donna Noble]] restored the timeline, preventing the Doctor's premature death.
