The majestic RMS Titanic was the most luxurious ship of its time. The first class suites on the B deck, furnished in antique style, were the most beautiful of all. There were also plush lounges and elegant restaurants catering to every taste. The fitness room with its ultra-modern equipment such as an electric horse caused a particular stir.

A crew of 897 hands worked on the Titanic. These included around 500 stewards, cooks and entertainers, an engine room staff of 320 and a deck crew of 65. The size of the crew enhanced the passengers’ feeling of safety. The interior architecture of the ship surpassed the highest demands. There were lavishly designed lounges and elegant private cabins some of which even had antique furniture. Among the most beautiful were the two wood paneled first-class suites on the B deck which even had their own promenades. One of the 15-meter long suites was furnished in Old Dutch style.

By all accounts the Great Staircase, of which there was an almost identical model on the Titanic's sister ship - the Olympic, was particularly breathtaking. There were elevators between the floors in the first and second-class sections and a gymnasium with state-of-the-art fitness equipment such as stationary bicycles, rowing machines, an “electric horse" and an "electric camel". There were Turkish Baths, a swimming pool and even a squash court above the keel.

Beside the luxurious dining rooms, there was an à-la-carte restaurant for the dignitaries as well as the Café Parisien which served as the meeting point for the younger passengers. The decor in the bistro was more casual with wicker furniture. There was real ivy growing up the walls in the veranda café. The second-class section was considerably less spacious. But as well as the dining rooms here too there was a lounge, a smoking room and a library.

The rear half of the boat deck served as the outdoor deck. The third-class passengers only had a lounge and a smoking room. The dining room was located deep down in the belly of the ship and the outdoor areas were restricted to a small area at the fore and the stern. However, according to contemporary witnesses, even the third-class cabins were more luxurious than first-class cabins on other ocean liners.
