A Titanic Cruise Fare

By Linda Tancs

Following the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic in April next year, Horizon & Co. will mark the occasion with a series of space-limited excursions to her final resting place.  In July and August, the company will offer three opportunities to visit the wreck site and dive down in a deep sea submersible unit to explore the vessel close up on the ocean floor.  For an experience like that, expect to pay a titanic sum–that is, from $66,257 for submarine divers or $12,498 for non-submarine divers.  If those numbers give you pause, consider the effects of inflation.  In 1912, a first class suite on Titanic was around $4300; that’s $50,000 or so in today’s money.
