The characters of the episode briefly visit London, and find it deserted due to the events of "The Runaway Bride" and "The Christmas Invasion" causing people to stay away from London that Christmas. Mr Copper, an alien historian from Sto, has a degree in "Earthonomics" and makes dubious claims about the Christmas traditions celebrated by humans in the United Kingdom (whose monarch is apparently Good King Wenceslas, though the episode later shows Queen Elizabeth II as resident of Buckingham Palace) such as the dish of turkey for Christmas dinner, Santa and Mary.

- Despite the name of the boat and the presence of a glamorous female love-interest special guest co-star, Voyage of the Damned is in fact a ripoff of The Poseidon Adventure, not of Titanic. I'm not sure if I'm upset by that. Ten hops on board the Titanic starliner and teams up with potential companion Astrid Peth (played by Kylie Minogue) to save the queen, and also possibly the earth. Despite doing a rousing speech about being a 900 year old Vietnam Vet and how nobody better fuck with him, a lot of the people he's trying to save end up dead. Kylie dies too. Also spoilers.

A later, superior episode named Midnight serves as a mirror universe version of this special, where the Doctor's rousing speech essentially turns him into the villain of the piece instead of the hero. At one point, Mr. Copper says "It must be well past midnight, Earth-time. Christmas Day.", even though Earth has different timezones. That should be a perfect example of how retarded the dialogue is in this one.
