It’s like the passengers are experiencing the cold of that night for themselves. The very last room is a very cold room that houses an iceberg that can be touched if passengers choose to do so. Room by room, the tour guide recites the events that took the ship down all those years ago, so near the end of the tour, there’s flashing lights and the rooms get colder as passengers realize the ship is sinking. Some are only replicas of what was on the cruise ship while others are actual pieces that had been recovered from the wreckage quite a few years ago.
