There are no tourist trips to the Titanic wreck in 2026: the only company that sold them, OceanGate, suspended all operations in July 2023 after its Titan submersible was lost on a dive to the site. Before that, seats cost between about $105,000 (the 2017 offer) and $250,000 (2022).

The original Titanic wreck tour
In 2017, a London-based luxury travel company, Blue Marble Private, announced eight-day trips to the spot where the Titanic lies, ending in deep-sea tours of the wreck. The trips were limited to nine people at a time. Titanic sank on April 14, 1912, after hitting an iceberg, and rests at a depth of about 13,000 feet in the Atlantic.
The trip was to start with a helicopter ride from St. John’s, Newfoundland, in Canada. Guests would then board a yacht near the wreck and meet explorers, scientists and an expedition crew, with orientation sessions on sonar and underwater navigation. Over the next three to six days, they would descend in what the company called a “specially designed titanium and carbon fiber submersible”. It promised views where you could “glide over the ship’s deck and famous grand staircase capturing a view that very few have seen, or ever will.”
Guests were billed as “mission specialists”, and the fees helped fund an OceanGate Expeditions research effort to make 3D images of the Titanic and document its condition. The advertised price of $105,129 per person was said to equal a first-class ticket on the maiden voyage in 1912, adjusted for inflation.
What happened to the tours
OceanGate began taking paying tourists to the wreck in 2021, and the price per passenger was $250,000 in 2022. On June 18, 2023, the Titan submersible was lost during a dive to the site, and all five people on board died. The company’s operations were suspended on July 6, 2023. The U.S. Coast Guard’s Marine Board of Investigation released its final report on August 5, 2025.
The Titanic itself is still a major attraction for researchers and documentary makers, but we found no confirmed public tourist dive for 2026. One research-led two-person submersible mission was reported as planned for summer 2026, and we could not confirm its status or any public seats.
Seeing the Titanic today
Without a dive, the practical options are museum exhibitions and documentary footage of the wreck, along with the Titanic exhibits at maritime museums. We have not verified specific venues or ticket prices, so check each museum’s own site. If you are planning a once-in-a-lifetime luxury trip instead, our Canada travel guide above is a good place to start.
