In 2018, six missions of the expedition, a week each, are planned. The first trip will take place from 27 June to 8 July.

Participants will spend a week aboard a research vessel of OceanGate, with the crew and many specialists.

To approach the wreck of the Titanic, at nearly 4000 meters of depth, they will take place aboard a small submarine that can accommodate five people at a time.

The nine participants selected for each mission should not only have the means to afford such an expedition, they must also be in excellent physical shape. The schedule of the first mission have been changed, a few places are still free!
