A tour operator is offering a cruise with a difference – the chance to explore the wreck of the Titanic.
From May next year, Blue Marble Private will take tourists 4,000m (13,123ft) down to the floor of the Atlantic in a submarine.
The whole package lasts eight days and you’ll need a titanic bank balance to afford it.
Booking one of the nine seats available on each expedition costs £86,000.
The trip starts on the coast of Newfoundland in Canada.
A helicopter or seaplane will take passengers to a support yacht where they will spend the first two days being taught about the ship’s workings by guest explorers, scientists and the expedition crew.
The adventurers can then take part in orientation sessions and can help the crew to plan a dive, operate the sonar and use the undersea navigation system.
