The titanic was an ocean liner, not a cruise ship. It's job was to take people across the ocean, from beginning to destination, at speeds a cruise ship could only dream of.
Max speed of the Titanic was 21 knots. Average cruise ship speed is 20 knots.
what's that in parsecs?
One, eventually.
I was curious so I just typed it into Wolfram Alpha.
~90.5 million years for the Titanic's 21 knots.
If it started now and remained underwater, just continually circling in the ocean, then when it finished it would have gone 6.39 trillion leagues under the sea.
