The new exhibition follows successful openings in Madrid and Munich and will feature projections, interactive installations, detailed recreations as part of a 120-minute experience.
Based around the tragic events of the 1912 sailing and sinking across the Atlantic Ocean, visitors will feel as if they are onboard the real shop with cabins and corridors recreated.
Even the entrance is part of the experience, as upon arrival, attendees will enter Dockside Boarding - an augmented reality reconstruction of Southampton Harbour.
Guests will then receive their boarding passes and gather for a virtual greeting from Captain Smith himself, who acts as a guide throughout the exhibition.
When walking along the pier, there will be sounds of seagulls and steam engines, too.
It won't just be the grand parts of the ship that visitors experience, but also the humble third-class corridors.
Here, there will be a number of information panels to tell the social context of the time.
Guests will then venture into a first-class lounge, highlighting the opulence and extravagance that first-class passengers experienced.
On display will be a selection of original artefacts, including china, silverware and personal items as well as props from the Titanic moviemovie- alongside replicas of costumes.
The next part of the experience focuses on the iceberg that ultimately led to the tragic fate of the ship.

Following this, guests arrive at one of the exhibition's standout features - a virtual reality room - "Until the Orchestra fell silent!".
The room will be a special tribute to the Titanic's famous orchestra and a newly composed piece by René Merkelbach - inspired by "Nearer, My God, to Thee," believed to have been the final song played aboard the ship, will be played.
The exhibition doesn't stop there are visitors then head into a huge immersive showroom with 360-degree, floor-to-ceiling projections that will submerge them in the depths of the Titanic.

Alongside the projections will be emotional storytelling of the ship, from its construction to voyage and finally, sinking.
As guests leave the immersive showroom, they will come across information panels with background information about the ship, its passengers, the myths, legends and details on survivors and deceased.
Guests then have the opportunity to explore an interactive Metaverse journey, developed with VR Coaster, which incorporates both iterative elements and a 5D sensory experience.
On this part of the experience, visitors can dive into the depths of the ocean to discover the Titanic in its current state on the ocean floor.
It will then come to life, allowing guests to visit all of its rooms one by one.
