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]]. 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]]. | 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]].
