OceanGate has not adjusted information on its website after the catastrophic accident with the Titan submersible.
The deep-sea exploration company OceanGate (headquartered in Everett, Washington, USA) still advertises on its website two expeditions to the Titanic wreck in 2024, specifically on June 12-20 and June 21-29, 2024.
The tour price is still $250,000 per person, including tickets on the diving boat, one dive by boat, accommodation during the tour, pre-departure training costs, exploration equipment and all meals on board, according to Insider news site on June 30.
"Arrive in the coastal city of St. John's to meet up with the expedition team and board a submersible that will take you to the wreck of the Titanic," the website details visitors' first day on the island of Newfoundland, Canada.

On the second day, OceanGate said, guests will be taken to the dive site in the North Atlantic. On the third day, the trip will officially begin, followed by four days on the Titan submersible.
The website also mentioned the possibility that the expedition would include French Titanic expert Paul-Henri Nargeolet. However, Nargeolet died along with four others during the expedition that ended tragically on June 18.
Other victims who died on the ship included OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, British billionaire Hamish Harding, Pakistani billionaire Shahzada Dawood and his son Sulaiman Dawood.
Mr Rush was personally piloting the Titan submersible before it exploded not far from the Titanic wreck.
Titan was also the only submersible to offer exploration of the Titanic wreck before it sank.
US and Canadian officials are investigating how and why the submersible encountered problems on its final voyage.
