In the early morning of April 15, 1912, after colliding with an iceberg while traveling to New York City, the Titanic sank in the North Atlantic Ocean.  Out of 2,224 passengers, more than 1,500 died, making this event the most deadliest disasters in history.

Although the ship still remains at the bottom of the ocean, a London-based travel company recently announced that they will be launching ‘eight-day trips’ that will take passengers 13,000 feet down under to see the Titanic.

Blue Marble Private will take at least 9 clients at a time down into the ocean.  It starts off in Newfoundland (you begin in a helicopter or seaplane ride and then you’re brought to a yacht that will be docked somewhere above the wreck).  Now, if weather allows it, you will then get into a submarine, which will bring you down into the ocean.

“Reaching depths of [13,000 feet] in a specially designed titanium and carbon fibre submersible, guided by a crew of experts, you will glide over the ship’s deck and famous grand staircase capturing a view that very few have seen, or ever will.”

Guests will use the undersea navigation system (which would probably be similar to the one we saw in the movie) and will have underwater communication.  Once in the ocean, there will be discussions, mission updates and lectures on the Titanic.
In order to get your hands on this dream trip, the company is asking for those to pay $105. 129, which apparently is equivalent to the $4, 350 (what a first-class passenger paid to go on the Titanic back in 1912).
