Today, the LEGO Group has revealed an authentic replica of the most famous ship of all time, the RMS Titanic. For the first time, fans can now recreate the luxury liner in detailed LEGO brick form, 110 years since it was launched in Belfast in 1911. Below are the details.
The #10294 LEGO Titanic is one of the longest and largest LEGO models to date, made up of 9,090 pieces, making it a truly immersive building challenge for LEGO fans and budding historians alike.
As well as its sheer size, the Titanic was known for its unrivaled grandeur, which has been faithfully captured in the set. Beneath the unmistakable exterior of the #10294 LEGO Titanic, there are several interior rooms to explore including the First-Class grand staircase, which spans six decks, and the Jacobean-style dining saloon, which was located on the ship’s D deck.
The Titanic was also renowned for its unparalleled speed, outclassing other ships of the era, and in the lower decks, fans will find a replica of the state-of-the-art engine room.
Mike Psiaki, design master at the LEGO Group commented: “At the time of its launch the Titanic was the pinnacle of nautical engineering, the largest moving vehicle ever created. It has been an incredible journey to recreate this iconic vessel from LEGO bricks, using blueprints created over a century ago. Designing the LEGO Titanic with such a focus on immense detail and scale, but also accuracy has allowed us to create one of the most challenging building experiences to date. We know brick builders and ship enthusiasts of all ages will love building the set and displaying it in their homes.”
At over 1.3m long, the #10294 LEGO Titanic set is perfect for display and comes with a unique plaque with the ship’s name. The exact measurements are 17.5 inches (44cm) high, 6 inches wide (16cm), and 53 inches (135cm) long.
This impressive set is available for pre-order from the 1st of November and general sale from the 8th of November from official LEGO stores and the Online LEGO Shop. Prices are as follows: €629.99 / $629.99 / £569.99 / 999.99 AUD / 799.99 CAD. For more information, visit the LEGO Creator Expert section of the Online LEGO Shop.

Wow, so huge! Quite detailed too, looks pretty epic. Must take such a long time to build though. 😀
Pretty and detailed, but way out of my budget for both money and display space!
A grand ship indeed and quite an impressive model but please don’t forget that over 1500 people lost their lives on its maiden voyage, a fact that this article fails to mention. I have no issue with models of the Titanic, I have 2 myself, but I always see them as a reminder of the disaster first and as a model of a great ship second.
“Iceberg not included.”
And yeah, way too massive for me, and looks somewhat tedious to build. (More varied than the Colosseum, though…)
Then, even the disastrous accident has gotten some rather romantic connotations by now, although it was a catastrophe at the time.
So, I was scrolling down the article. Okay, that’s a nice big ship. Okay, it looks very detailed. Then I saw that lady with the ship. Holy….!!!! That’s a BIG SHIP!!
Haha. I did the same. The size of this thing is incredible!
I figured it was a small lady, so I looked up the stats…
(Hmm, that was a somewhat cringey dad joke, now when I think about it…)
Haha! We all need some dad jokes at times. 😀
Even though it’s humongous, (it really is!), this set will be easier to display than say, the Colosseum or the Millennium Falcon. It should fit on a long shelf. It looks classy! Mike Psiaki is an incredible designer!
I don’t think I can spend this much on one Lego set, but it is beautiful and I would love to experience building it.
