"I've been to World War One and Two cemeteries in various places across the world and I think it is always important to remember. The people here in the Titanic died in very different circumstances but it was still quite unbelievable what happened that night," she told the reporters.
Organisers said 1,309 paying passengers booked on the memorial voyage.
While the Balmoral is a modern ship, the 12-night memorial cruise will try to recreate the atmosphere of the time with dishes and music from the era, while experts will give lectures about the Titanic.

在泰坦尼克号沉没100年后,“巴尔莫勒尔”号上周日从英国出发,重温泰坦尼克号当年的悲剧航程。当时1500名遇难者中一些人的后辈也搭乘了这艘游轮。
一些乘客穿上了当时的服装,有些女乘客戴上了皮毛帽子,有些男乘客身穿西装,头戴圆顶礼帽,在英国南部海岸的南安普敦登上了这艘MS巴尔莫勒尔号游轮。
游轮启航时,乘客们站在甲板上挥手。100年前,泰坦尼克号也是在南安普顿开始了它的处女航,驶向纽约。
人们曾认为泰坦尼克号“永不沉没”,但1912年4月15日,这艘游轮在纽芬兰附近冰冷的大西洋海域撞到冰山上沉没。
