So, anyone got an extra $10k laying around?

As some of you may know, or may have read from previous blog posts, I'm a Titanic enthusiast.  I have read 2 books lately about the disaster and have always found myself fascinated by it.

April 14-15, 2012 marks 100 years since the tragedy.  Being a Titanic fan, I decided I would look to see if there would be any memorial events happening in April of 2012.  I thought maybe it would be a nice excuse to take a trip to Belfast or Southampton, or in the poorest of circumstances, Halifax or New York.

Welp, I found one.  The cream of the crop.

What the above website details is a "Voyage" across the Atlantic.  The ship leaves Boston (SOOOO close!) and heads to Halifax on April 9, 2012.  After a day or two exploring Halifax, the ship heads off to the Titanic wreck site, about 300 miles south east of Newfoundland.  There it stays, giving passengers real-time video of the wreckage until the end of April 15, 2012, when she heads back to Boston. Aboard the ship there will be experts and enthusiasts and Titanic historians giving presentations.  There will be information for collectors and "Titaniacs" (which is just weird in my opinion).  There will be family members of survivors (the last survivor died in May 2009 - she was 9 weeks old when Titanic sank) giving presentations.

In addition the accommodations are supposedly very luxurious and include high end food and beverage.

An interior stateroom (no windows) and all of the above can be yours for just...

$4,899 PER PERSON!!!

Talk about bursting my bubble.  I was very excited about it.  Knew it would be expensive...thought maybe we could save for it.  But $10k is not happening.

I should add that the most expensive cabins on this ship are going for a cool $14,999 per person (Club World Owners Suite - only six left!)

Maybe I can go to the doc when the ship leaves and wave to those who, if this were 1912, could've afforded first class accommodations with private promenade decks.  Definitely no steerage passengers on this voyage...
