Visit the Past

GRAND VOYAGE was born of an idea - to recreate a forgotten past. For centuries, the only way to travel between continents was to cross the ocean by ship and, eventually, by zeppelin. The technology boom of the 1800s resulted in the creation of a series of increasingly-grand machines - the ocean liner was born. Some of history’s greatest ships were created in this era with names that have entered legend such as Olympic and Titanic, Lusitania and Mauretania and Queen Elizabeth and Queen Mary - but it wasn’t to last forever. The rise of the jet aircraft doomed the ocean liner to redundancy and they were almost all scrapped and consigned to the history books.

GRAND VOYAGE aims to bring this incredible bit of history back to life by digitally recreating an array of ships and vessels for players to walk around and experience. Serving in conjunction with the OCEANLINER DESIGNS YouTube channel, GRAND VOYAGE will give you the opportunity to explore these beautiful machines and see them, not in grainy black and white photographs or flickery old film, but as they were - in glorious three dimensions and vivid colour.

Interact and Learn

GRAND VOYAGE is an interactive experience that recreates famous and forgotten ocean liners and airships in UNREAL ENGINE 5, a powerful video game engine that offers unparalleled graphics fidelity and unlimited capabilities. Players can explore and learn at their own pace, with the vessels in-game full of historical information and interactive experiences.

GRAND VOYAGE represents a new and exciting way to learn about history; to experience it through the eyes of people that were and to see sights that human eyes have not beheld for decades or even centuries.

Live the Experience

Ocean liners and vehicles like them existed in wildly dynamic environments, including some, like the Atlantic Ocean, which rank among the harshest on our planet. In GRAND VOYAGE you can experience the full range of climate conditions; the weather and time itself are under your control.

Set conditions to whatever you like - from raging snow storms to brilliant sun or driving rain. Synchronise the time of day with your real life clock - these controls amount to what is one of the most realistic, immersive experiences available.

Grow and Collect

GRAND VOYAGE is a ‘Live Service’ experience that will be constantly updated and added to. With so many vehicles from history to take inspiration from and to recreate, our team is committed to adding to and growing the number of vehicles and experiences available to players.

GRAND VOYAGE will evolve to include some of history’s most famous vessels including many that have become household names, but along the way we will feature ships you may never have heard of. All of these can be added to your own personal and ever-growing fleet.
