Is it me or does a one way Titanic memorial cruise seem like a bad idea?

File this one under just plain creepy. UK Travel agency Miles Morgan say’s they’re organizing a 100 year anniversary cruise to commemorate the sinking of the Titanic on April 15, 1912. They plan to sail the same route (starting April 8, 2012) the original Titanic took exactly 100 years ago. They’ll stop on the site where the ship sank and hold a brief memorial and lecture.

Our voyage of a lifetime will sail from Southampton on 8th April 2012 the twelve night cruise on board the MS Balmoral and will follow the RMS Titanic’s original itinerary, passing by Cherbourg on the French coast before calling into the Irish port of Cobh.

From here the ship will sail across the Atlantic, arriving at the Titanic site on April 14th/15th exactly 100 years on from this tragic voyage, where a memorial service will be held to pay tribute to the brave passengers and crew who perished on that fateful night.

In keeping with the Titanic theme, it appears your fare is one way to NY with an option to sail home for an added 20% of the fare.
