The SS Poseidon may be a fictional ocean liner, but it has achieved legendary status through the iconic 1972 film The Poseidon Adventure and its modern remakes. Portrayed as a grand luxury cruise ship, the Poseidon symbolised the height of ocean travel — a floating palace of elegance and engineering. Its dramatic story has captivated audiences for decades, making it one of cinema’s most memorable vessels.
Our Special Edition Poseidon Model Cruise Ship pays tribute to that legacy. Each piece is handcrafted from fine timber, meticulously detailed to capture the ship’s graceful lines, polished decks, and classic profile. This exclusive edition also features built-in LED lighting, illuminating the cabins and decks to bring the model to life — a stunning display both day and night. Whether for collectors or as a centrepiece for your home, the Poseidon model embodies timeless maritime artistry and sophistication.
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.
