About the Poseidon

Though the SS Poseidon was never a real ocean liner, she has become one of the most recognisable ships in cinema history. The Poseidon first appeared in the 1972 film The Poseidon Adventure, a classic of the disaster-movie era. In the story, the Poseidon is a luxurious trans-Atlantic cruise liner making her final voyage from New York to Athens. On New Year’s Eve, a massive undersea earthquake triggers a rogue wave that capsizes the ship, turning the once-grand liner completely upside-down.

The film followed a small group of survivors as they fought their way through the overturned ship to reach the surface — a tense, emotional tale that made The Poseidon Adventure a global success. Its striking imagery of the inverted ballroom and the doomed liner inspired generations of filmmakers and audiences alike.

The ship itself was inspired by the great ocean liners of the mid-20th century, such as the Queen Mary and SS United States, symbolising the glamour and ambition of post-war sea travel. Over the years, the Poseidon has returned in several remakes and television adaptations, each paying tribute to the original story’s blend of human courage and maritime tragedy.

Today, the SS Poseidon lives on as a cinematic legend — a fictional vessel that feels as real and iconic as any ship that ever sailed.
