How much was a first class ticket on the Titanic?

First-Class Tickets The average cost of a first-class ticket to board the Titanic was about $400 ($5,000 in today's money). There were two first-class rooms on the Titanic that cost $3,300 each (more than a brand new car back then). The rooms were each 50 feet long with there own personal deck.



In 1912, the cost of a first-class ticket on the Titanic varied significantly based on the level of luxury, ranging from a standard berth to a "Parlour Suite." A standard first-class berth cost approximately £30, which is roughly $4,600 in 2026 currency. However, the most elite accommodations—the two private Parlour Suites with their own 50-foot promenade decks—cost £870 at the time. In today's money, that is a staggering $133,000 to $135,000. The most expensive ticket actually purchased for the maiden voyage is believed to have cost around £512 ($75,000 today). These prices included access to the ship's most exclusive amenities, such as the Turkish baths, the squash court, and the world-class dining saloon. While second-class tickets (approx. $1,800 today) and third-class tickets (approx. $1,000 today) were more accessible to the middle and working classes, the first-class fares were designed for the global elite, representing some of the most expensive travel tickets ever sold in history.
