The sinking of the Titanic in April 1912 on her maiden voyage affected the Cruise ship Industry. People had gained so much confidence in cruises and were so much comfortable with The Titanic; the owners gave people confidence when they said "...God cannot sink it". When it sank, cruise line business went down as a lot of people were afraid. It took a lot of time and convincing for people to start accepting the cruises. A lot of marketing and specials had to be brought into play. Maritime laws changed, so as the safety of the ships (height and size), routes changed (as people perceived the Titanic route unsafe), e.t.c. People started gaining confidence in cruises after these changes and the business flourished again.
