It was loosely based upon the design of the original [[Earth]] sea-going vessel ''[[RMS Titanic]]'', the grand and supposedly unsinkable steamship which famously sunk in 1912 after hitting an iceberg in the North Atlantic, resulting in the loss of 1,523 lives. 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.

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]]. The [[Tenth 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]].

In the [[Donna's World|alternate timeline]] orchestrated by the [[time beetle]], the Doctor, having died a year earlier, was not present to stop the ''Titanic'' from crashing to Earth in the heart of London. Although the resulting nuclear 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. ([[TV]]: ''[[Turn Left]]'')
