Perhaps the idea of sailing on the Titanic II doesn’t sound appealing to you. Maybe the idea of naming a ship after one of the most significant maritime tragedies has you worried about history repeating itself. Alternatively, perhaps you’re extremely adventurous and want to experience the original Titanic in all its former glory. 

Never fear – you still have the option of visiting the original shipwreck. Several companies now have plans to take tourists down to the site in 2019 and 2020, though that window of opportunity will not be open for long. Of course, prices are exorbitantly high: over $100,000 per person. The dive takes up to 12 hours to reach the 12,500-foot depth, making it less seen than outer space!
