OceanGate Still Advertising Titanic Trips DESPITE Implosion of Submersible That K!LLED Company CEO
OceanGate Expeditions is still advertising trips to the Titanic shipwreck on its website — more than 10 days after its submersible imploded on its deep-sea journey to the wreckage, killing all five aboard.
The undersea exploration company lists two missions to the Titanic in 2024 – from June 12-20 and June 21-29 – at a cost of $250,000 per person, according to the site.
The price includes one submersible dive, private accommodations, all required training, expedition gear, and all meals while on board, OceanGate says.

“Arrive in the seaside city of St. John’s to meet your expedition crew and board the vessel that will take you to the wreck of the RMS Titanic,” the listing states for the first day in Newfoundland, Canada.
“You’ll familiarize yourself with life on a working vessel as we begin the 400-nautical-mile journey to the wreck site.”
For the second day, the company cites the North Atlantic sailing to the dive site, followed by the mission itself to the 12,500-foot-deep wreck over the next four days aboard the Titan – pieces of which were retrieved Wednesday along with “presumed human remains.”

“Enjoy hours of exploring the wreck and debris field before making the two-hour ascent to the surface.”
One of the people listed on the site as “content experts” who may join the expedition is French Titanic expert Paul-Henri Nargeolet, 77, who perished in the disaster.
“PH Nargeolet is a renowned Titanic expert, having led six expeditions to the Titanic wreck site and lectured at numerous Titanic exhibitions around the world. He’s known as ‘Titanic’s Greatest Explorer,’” OceanGate says.
