How Much Do You Think It Costs to Tour the Titanic? Nope, More.
In the grand tradition of planning vacations to places where a ton of people met their tragic ends-Civil War battlefields, Auschwitz, Chernobyl, the ruins of Pompeii-a London-based company is now selling diving tours of the Titanic shipwreck for 2018.
The last tourists to visit the Titanic did so in 2012 for almost $60,000 a ticket, according to CNN. This new excursion from Blue Marble Private costs upwards of $105,000 per person, which is supposedly the equivalent ticket price, with inflation, of what people paid to board the Titanic in 1912. For $105,129 a pop, seems like you ought to be able to run into James Cameron poking around down there, who will offer you a role in the next four Avatar sequels, which will somehow make buckets of money, recouping the cost of the Titanic tour. Not so. For $105,129 a pop, Blue Marble Private offers three days of diving with three-hour periods to explore the wreckage and surrounding site, which are, to be fair, beautifully draped in deep sea gunk. The eight-day excursions leave from Newfoundland, Canada.
If interested in visiting the watery graveyard of 1,503 drowned passengers, reserve those tickets now: The first tour is already booked solid, and the Titanic wreckage might be eaten away to nothing by Halomonas titanicae bacteria in 15 to 20 years.
