Here’s How You Can Visit the Wreck of the Titanic—for $125,000

A series of expeditions will take tourists down to the ill-fated ship in 2021

You’re probably familiar with the RMS Titanic: in 1912, the world’s largest ocean liner of the day embarked on her maiden voyage from Southampton, England, to New York, during which she struck an iceberg, sank, and ultimately took more than 1,500 lives. The Titanic’s final resting place remained a mystery until 1985, when American marine geologist Robert Ballard and French oceanographer Jean-Louis Michel discovered the wreck in the crushing depths of the frigid North Atlantic, nearly 2.5 miles beneath the surface of the sea. 

Rather unsurprisingly, visiting the Titanic has become a bucket-list trip for maritime historians, oceanographers, and, well, anyone who has deep enough pockets to go. However, expeditions are rare: only one team has visited the site in-person in the last 15 years. But all that’s about to change.

OceanGate Expeditions , a company that provides well-heeled clients with once-in-a-lifetime underwater experiences, has announced a series of six trips to the Titanic via submersible in 2021. Each has space for nine paying tourists, whose $125,000 tickets will help offset the cost of the expeditions (and put a pretty penny in the pocket of OceanGate owner Stockton Rush).

OceanGate’s expeditions will each run for 10 days out of St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada. Nine tourists, who are actually dubbed “mission specialists” on this expedition, will join the expedition crew on each sailing, and they’ll be expected to participate in the research efforts—this isn’t just a sightseeing affair. OceanGate’s goal is to extensively document the Titanic wreck before it disintegrates entirely due to a deep-sea bacteria that eats iron, which researchers are concerned might happen within the next few decades. As this is a scientific project, mission specialists will have to meet certain physical criteria to ensure their compatibility with the expedition, not to mention training, which includes a test dive.

On each expedition, each mission specialist will be able to partake in a single six- to eight-hour dive to the Titanic via the private Titan submarine, which includes the 90-minute descent and 90-minute ascent. The sub seats five—a pilot, a scientist or researcher, and three mission specialists—and it does have a small, semi-private bathroom for emergencies, in case you were wondering.

Now, it should be known that this isn’t OceanGate’s first attempt to visit the iconic wreck: two previous expeditions had to be scrubbed. (In 2018, the sub was hit by lightning, and its electrical systems were fried, and in 2019, there were issues with sourcing a ship for the expedition.) But hey, perhaps the third time's the charm!

Several international treaties protect the Titanic—the wreck sits in international waters—but their primary goal is to prevent looters and illegal salvage operations from damaging and disrespecting the wreck. However, in terms of tourism, it’s actually perfectly legal to visit the wreck, so long as the expedition doesn’t intrude upon it (i.e., land on the deck or enter the hull.)

“A review of the International Agreement on Titanic, as well as the 2001 UNESCO Convention on Underwater Cultural Heritage, would reveal that non-intrusive visits do not even require a permit or authorization,” said Ole Varmer, a retired legal advisor to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), who was instrumental in negotiating the legal protection of the wreck. “The scope of the prohibition against commercial exploitation of underwater cultural heritage is to prevent unauthorized salvage and looting; it does not include non-intrusive visits regardless of whether they are for-profit or not.”

In terms of OceanGate Expeditions, the company is working with NOAA, the federal agency in charge of implementing the International Agreement on Titanic for U.S.-based Titanic activities, to ensure it follows all protocols set down by that agreement.

There are two major factors to consider regarding ethically visiting the Titanic. First, it’s a memorial site to the lives lost during the disaster, so the wreck should be treated with respect. But that, of course, is true of all memorial sites around the world.

“Speaking as one who visited Titanic’s wreck twice during RMS Titanic, Inc.'s 1993 and 1996 Research and Recovery expeditions, I see nothing unethical about visiting the wreck, nor about helping to defray the significant expense of bringing a visitor to the wreck,” explained Charles Haas, president of the Titanic International Society. “People around the world learn by seeing and visiting. They pay for access to museums, cathedrals, monuments, exhibitions, and, yes, final resting places.”

But second, it’s a fragile piece of cultural heritage. It should be protected—the expedition organizer must take appropriate steps to ensure that it won’t disturb the wreck.

“In the past, submersibles visiting the site by RMS Titanic, Inc. [the only company legally allowed to salvage the wreck], and others have rested on the deck of the hull portions,” says Varmer. “That practice has likely caused some harm and exacerbated the deterioration of the site.  Hopefully, that will no longer be practiced or permitted.”

Per OceanGate’s description of its expeditions, the company’s submersible won’t disturb the wreck, so if you have $125,000 lying around, fee; free to spring for the bucket-list trip of 2021!

Titanic The Exhibition is an interactive exhibition showcasing over 300 artifacts from Titanic and her sister ships and from famous films to tell the chronological, dramatic tale of the design, creation, launch, maiden voyage and tragedy of the largest and most luxurious ship in the world at the time. The artifacts are set inside beautiful fully immersive recreations of the ships interior and tell the latest details of her sinking and discovery. The artifacts are a combination of those that survived the sinking of the Titanic, her sister ships as well as items from the James Cameron blockbuster film Titanic.

Titanic The Exhibition is an interactive experience, where visitors receive a boarding pass corresponding with a passenger on the ship. This allows the visitors to relate to the individual story of their passenger as they explore the first, second and third class galleries and the artifacts from each. They will hear the music of the era as they examine exact recreations of the ship's interiors, stroll the promenade deck, and marvel at the famous Grand Staircase, the social gathering place of the ship.

The stories of love and loss culminate in the final galleries showcasing personal effects and the individual anecdotes surrounding a tribute wall where each passenger’s fate is revealed.  The Discovery Gallery, dedicated to the discovery and research of Titanic’s wreck site, features a raised glass floor; giving an impression of walking along the bottom of the ocean. Broken china and artifacts in the sand below allow visitors to experience what discovery teams saw during dives to Titanic’s wreck site. A striking and informative film, narrated by James Cameron, provides an in-depth look at the most recent forensic research related to the collision, breakup, and sinking of the Titanic. Also featured in the Discovery Gallery, Emory Kristof’s award winning underwater photography of the Titanic lines the walls in a stunning display of the ship’s current state on the sea floor.

RMS Titanic Passengers & Crew

Learn about the real captivating stories of Titanic ’s passengers and crew told through their genuine personal items, preserved for over a century. Some of Titanic ’s most notable passengers and crew are highlighted below.

Dorothy Gibson

Titanic drew people from all walks of life, including silent film star Dorothy Gibson who, at the time, was one of the highest paid actresses in the world. Immediately following the tragedy, Dorothy Gibson starred as herself in the film ‘Saved from the Titanic ’ which was released barely a month after the sinking.

Frederick Fleet, Crew: Lookout

By 1912, Fleet had eight years of experience at sea. Fleet and Reginald Lee were on lookout duty on Titanic ’s 10 p.m. to midnight watch on April 14, 1912. Fleet received repeated instructions to keep very alert for icebergs and eventually sounded the iceberg warning before impact. He was able to assist in loading and join Lifeboat 6 and in time, testified at both the American and British inquiries.

Captain Smith:

From his humble origins as a potter’s son, Edward John (EJ) Smith, 62, had steadily climbed the ranks within White Star Line to become honorary Commodore of the White Star Fleet in 1904. Captain Smith was planning to retire in 1911, but White Star Line convinced him to stay to oversee Titanic ’s first transatlantic crossing.

Major Archibald Butt:

Major Archibald Butt was a prominent American military officer and diplomate who served as a trusted aide to two U.S. presidents, Theodore Roosevelt, and William Howard Taft. Despite the chaos and danger, Major Butt worked tirelessly to help organize the evacuation of passengers and crew.

Joseph Bruce Ismay:

J. Bruce became head of White Star following his father’s death in 1899, and the company flourished under his directorship. Ismay entered into an agreement with the shipbuilding firm Harland & Wolff, to design three of the largest and most luxurious Ships in the world (the Olympic Class liners), one of which became Titanic .

Ruth Elizabeth Becker:

Ruth was only 12 years old when she boarded the RMS Titanic with her mother, sister, and brother. The family was separated in different lifeboats and reunited on the Carpathia. Ruth’s family was one of the few who came out of the tragedy without a loved one lost. She avoided talking about Titanic until the 1970s, giving interviews and reconnecting with other survivors.

Thomas Andrews:

As the Chief Naval Architect on Titanic , Thomas Andrews was responsible for the thousands of plans that became the iconic ship. His designs stressed both progress and tradition, incorporating new technologies with proven equipment for support.

Duff Gordon:

Sir Cosmo Duff Gordon, 49, was the fifth baronet of Halkin in the county of Aberdeen, Scotland. In addition to his great wealth and many investments, Duff Gordon was also a proficient fencer; he represented Great Britain at the 1906 Summer Olympics.

Father Browne:

Very few photos of Titanic ’s interiors are in existence, but most that do exist can be attributed to a budding Irish photographer named Francis Browne. Fortunately for him, he was not traveling the full voyage, and disembarked in Ireland. He captured some of the world’s most famous peeks into life on Titanic that are still heavily circulated today.

John Jacob Astor IV:

An American businessman, investor, inventor, writer, and manager of the Astor Family fortune. Following a divorce from his wife, Astor married 18-year old Madeleine Force, and after a short honeymoon, the pair decided to return to America on Titanic after discovering Madeleine’s pregnancy.

Madeline Astor (Force):

A survivor of the tragedy, Madeleine Force, came from a wealthy family who excelled in school and was described as brilliant. John J. Astor was immediately smitten upon their meeting, and the couple married in 1910. She passed away in 1940 at the age of 47 – the same age that her first husband, John J. Astor, tragically died on Titanic .

LIGHT Version – Titanic: The Virtual Experience

Using IFREMER’s state-of-the-art technology, including the manned submersible Nautile, the expedition team recovered some 1,800 objects. Iconic artifacts included instruments from the stern Docking Bridge, a decorative cherub and several pursers’ or leather traveling bags.

In April 1993, RMS Titanic, Inc. and IFREMER conducted a second joint expedition to Titanic ‘s wreck site with the French research and recovery ship Nadir. The French American team recovered approximately 800 artifacts, including a set of the Ship’s whistles, a double lifeboat davit and base, and a two-ton engine eccentric strap. Almost miraculously, along with these heavy metal objects, a delicate jet bead and a child’s marbles were also brought to the surface.

In the summer of 1994, RMS Titanic, Inc., with IFREMER, returned to Titanic ‘s wreck site. Artifacts including personal effects such as a boot, binoculars, and a 2-ton set of bollards, which once secured Titanic ‘s mooring lines, were recovered. In addition, a 17-ton section of the Ship’s hull, found lying on the seabed, was painstakingly measured by Nautile for retrieval at a later expedition. The artifacts recovered subsequently went on exhibition at the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, England where they were seen by over 720,000 people.

This was RMS Titanic, Inc.’s fourth mission and one that conducted groundbreaking scientific investigations into the wreck. Using the most sophisticated research tools available and advanced techniques of reverse engineering, forensic science, and crash investigation, an international team of naval architects, microbial biologists, metallurgists, and historians from five countries examined the Ship and attempted to solve the mysteries surrounding the disaster. To determine how fast Titanic is corroding on the seabed, Canadian microbiologist Dr. Roy Cullimore conducted investigations into the “rusticles,” elaborate colonies of iron-consuming microorganisms that cover nearly every surface of the hull. Cullimore concluded that the iron-eating microbes have already consumed as much as 20% of the bow. The major purpose of the 1996 expedition, however, was to record and document the wreck in detail. This was an ambitious agenda and would last 30 days. IFREMER’s Nadir and Nautile were once more employed as well as Ocean Voyager, an oceanographic research ship, which carried four purpose-built Edison light towers, and served as a filming base for the documentary film shot by the Discovery Channel and the Ellipse program of France during the expedition.

This expedition was the fifth one for RMS Titanic, Inc. and IFREMER continued many of the scientific investigations it started on Expedition 1996. In addition, new debris fields were discovered, including an area west of the stern section containing a significant amount of passenger baggage. The team recovered remarkable artifacts with the assistance of the recovery vessel Abeille Supporter, including the D-Deck Door, and, most significantly, a 17-ton section of the hull, which came to be known as The “Big Piece”. This is the largest and most significant section of the Ship ever recovered. Examinations of the hull made it clear that Titanic is deteriorating more rapidly than previously thought. As a result, the ongoing scientific investigations into the physical events surrounding the sinking became more urgent. Expedition 1998 also established, for the first time in history, a live fiber-optic television link from the bottom of the ocean, permitting viewers to watch in real time the exploration of the wreck by a manned submersible, and thus earning the record for the deepest underwater live broadcast.

This was RMS Titanic, Inc.’s sixth expedition to the wreck site. For this endeavor, the Company utilized the services of the Russian P.P. Shirshov Institute, its research vessel Keldysh, and its submersibles MIR I and MIR II. Knowledge of the Ship was increased by the exciting recovery of the main wheel and steering stand, the navigating bridge wheel steering stand, two engine telegraphs, an automatic whistle timer, and the capstan controller wheel and stand from the docking bridge. The most astonishing recovery of the Expedition may well have been sixty-five perfume vials belonging to first-class passenger Adolphe Saafeld of Manchester, England. When this miraculous find was brought into the conservation laboratory, the aroma of Edwardian perfume filled the air stopping everyone in their tracks.

RMS Titanic, Inc. conducted its seventh research and recovery mission to Titanic ‘s wreck site. The mission utilized a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) rather than the manned submersibles used on previous expeditions. The ROV, provided by Phoenix International, Inc., was equipped with cameras, lighting systems, and two manipulator arms that allowed the team to engage in round-the-clock underwater operations and to watch those operations in real-time from the surface. A variety of artifacts were recovered during the expedition; each rescue was documented as to time and location by video, still photographs, and written notations. Perhaps the most exciting artifacts rescued were two never-before-seen: a gilded wall sconce from the À la Carte Restaurant and the frame of a tile from the Turkish Bath. The tile still retains, and finally documents, the vibrant blue color used in the decor of the Bath.

Conducted in the summer of 2010, the team returned to the wreck site in what is considered the most technologically advanced scientific expedition to Titanic ever organized. RMS Titanic, Inc. brought together a team of leading archaeologists, oceanographers, and scientists to take innovative measures to virtually raise Titanic , preserving the legacy of the Ship for all time.  It is the Company’s purpose to preserve the memory of Titanic and of all who sailed on the ship and to promote that memory with respect and regard for the Ship’s historical and maritime significance.

In July 2024, the world’s leading deep ocean imaging experts, oceanographers, scientists, and historians will gather to launch RMS Titanic, Inc.’s first expedition to the wreck site of the RMS Titanic since 2010. This expedition will utilize cutting-edge technology to focus on imaging and high-resolution photography of the site to preserve the Titanic’s legacy for future generations and scientific study. It will be carried out by ROVs (remotely operated vehicles) to survey the wreck site and debris field. The images captured will reveal important new insights into the condition of the site, areas and artifacts at risk, and contribute to ongoing conservation efforts and educational initiatives already underway. Learn more here .

Expeditions to recover Titanic artifacts have been a collaborative effort between RMS Titanic, Inc.; The French Oceanographic Institute; and the Moscow-based P.P. Shirshov Institute of Oceanology. These expeditions have been conducted at the Titanic’s wreck site, located 963 miles northeast of New York and 453 miles southeast of the Newfoundland coastline, during the summers of 1987, 1993, 1994, 1996, 1998, 2000, 2004 and 2010.

Nautile and MIR submersibles are used for the recovery in Expeditions 1987, 1993, 1994, 1996 and 1998; these machines are equipped with mechanical arms capable of scooping, grasping, and recovering the artifacts, which are then either collected in sampling baskets, or placed in lifting baskets. The crew compartment of each submersible accommodates three people – a pilot, a co-pilot, and an observer – who each have a one-foot-thick plastic porthole between themselves and the depths. Both submersibles have the capabilities of operating and deploying a Remote-Controlled Vehicle on a 110-foot tether which is then flown inside the wreck to record images.

In the 2004 Expedition, the Remora 6000 Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV) was used for the recovery of objects. This ROV was controlled from the surface via ROV pilots.

Each recovered artifact undergoes conservation following carefully designed processes to remove rust and salt deposits

Once an artifact leaves the water and is exposed to the air, it must undergo an immediate stabilization process to prevent further deterioration.

Artifacts are cleaned with a soft brush and placed in foam-lined tubs of fresh water.

Artifacts are brought to our conservation laboratory where contaminating surface salts are removed from each of the artifacts.

Artifacts are conserved: After a period of six months to two years, artifacts can be conserved using treatments that are compatible with each artifact’s construction materials.

Metal objects are placed in a desalination bath and undergo the first steps of electrolysis, a process that removes negative ions and salt from the artifact. Electrolysis is now being used to remove salts from paper, leather, and wood as well. These materials also receive treatments of chemical agents and fungicides that remove rust and fungus from them.

Paper artifacts are first freeze-dried to remove water and are then cleaned with specialized vacuums and hand tools to remove dirt and debris. Leather artifacts are soaked or injected with a water-soluble wax which replaces voids previously filled by water and debris.

Artifacts are displayed in specially designed cases where temperature, relative humidity and light levels can be controlled, protecting the artifacts from these three agents of deterioration. The artifacts displayed have been conserved and are continuously monitored and maintained so that they can be shown in the Exhibition as well as preserved for the future.

Taking Deep Dive Into History, Titanic Exhibition Docks At Old Orchard

S KOKIE, IL — The world's largest touring exhibit of artifacts and recreations of the Titanic is coming to Old Orchard Mall in Skokie.

Tickets are now on sale for Titanic: The Exhibition, which is slated to run from Feb. 16 to April 21 in Skokie following its sold-out runs in Macau, China; Moscow, Russia; Riga, Latvia; Perth, Australia and Los Angeles.

The "interactive experience" features stories of passengers on the sunken oceanliner, vast reconstructions of the interior of the ship and displays of items from the ship as well as James Cameron's 1997 film "Titanic."

The exhibit is produced by Imagine Exhibitions, the company behind traveling exhibitions based on Harry Potter, The Hunger Games, Angry Birds, Jurassic World and Downton Abbey, which this year came to the lower level of the former Old Orchard Bloomingdale's . The firm currently presents more than 40 exhibits at various locations around the world, according to its representatives.

Tom Zaller, president and CEO of Imagine Exhibitions, said the exhibition is designed to immerse visitors in the history of the Titanic and bring its story to life through the use of recreated environments and media experiences.

“Titanic has been a part of my life since the late 90’s when I had the incredible opportunity to dive to the wreck site, and since that firsthand experience, I’ve presented hundreds of exhibitions about the ship, her people and her stories," Zaller said in a statement announcing the tour.

Guests each receive a "boarding pass" associated with a particular passenger on the ship, allowing them to follow that person's story and explore galleries with artifacts from the first, second and third classes of the ship.

The final galleries feature personal items, individual anecdotes and a tribute wall showing what happened to each passenger. In total, the exhibition boasts more than 300 artifacts from survivors of the Titanic and its sister ships.

Another gallery is dedicated to the discovery of the Titanic's wreckage site. It uses a raised glass floor to suggest walking on the ocean floor and bits of broken china in the sand, similar to what divers saw on visits to the Titanic site.

“One of the first Titanic exhibitions I was a part of was in Chicago in 2000. Over 860,000 people came to that exhibition; so many, in fact, that we returned in 2002 by popular demand and another 450,000 people came to see it," Zaller said. "It’s been more than 20 years since I’ve presented a Titanic exhibition in the Chicagoland area and I’m extremely excited to be returning."

The latest exhibit includes a full-sized recreation of the Titanic's two-story grand staircase, a first-class hallway, third-class hallway and cabin, boiler room and its exterior deck.

There is also a virtual reality element to the exhibition, with the most up-to-date forensic research into the sinking.

Tickets for the Titanic exhibition in Skokie range from under $20 for children under 12 to more than $53 for adult "platinum" tickets with fast-track entry, a souvenir photo, catalog and entry to the VR portion of the exhibition.

For the original Titanic, the least expensive, third-class ticket on voyage cost between $15 and $40 in 1912 dollars, which is the equivalent of $444 to $1,185 today.

"This story continues to fascinate people," Zaller said, "it's every man’s story — the story of hopes and dreams. "
