Exhibit 99.1

Premier Exhibitions, Inc. Receives Salvage Award for Recovery of
Titanic Artifacts

Atlanta, Georgia (August 13, 2010) — Premier Exhibitions, Inc. (NASDAQ: PRXI), a leading presenter of museum-quality touring exhibitions around the world, today announced that the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Norfolk Division, has issued an opinion granting a salvage award to RMS Titanic Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The salvage award is based upon the Company’s work in recovering and conserving over three thousand artifacts from the wreck of Titanic during its expeditions conducted in 1993, 1994, 1996, 1998, 2000, and 2004.

The Company has been awarded 100% of the fair market value of the artifacts, which the Court set at approximately one hundred ten million dollars. The Court has reserved the right to determine the manner in which to pay the award. It will determine by August 15, 2011, whether to pay the Company a cash award from proceeds derived from a judicial sale, or in the alternative, to issue the Company an award of title the artifacts with certain covenants and conditions which would govern their maintenance and future disposition.

This award is in addition to the approximately 1800 artifacts recovered by RMS Titanic, Inc. in its first expedition to the wreck of Titanic in 1987. Title to these artifacts already rests with RMS Titanic, Inc. pursuant to a 1993 in specie salvage award issued by a French Maritime Tribunal. These artifacts have been appraised at over thirty five million dollars.

“When Sellers Capital won its proxy fight and removed previous management in January 2009, we had two main goals: to stabilize the financial condition of the Company, and to convince the court that we are trustworthy stewards of the Titanic shipwreck and artifacts and would follow a sharply different course than prior management,” stated Mark Sellers, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Managing Member of Sellers Capital LLC, the Company’s largest shareholder. “With this ruling, we believe we’ve now accomplished both of those goals. Christopher Davino deserves much of the credit; he has worked tirelessly and remained laser focused on reaching this outcome.”

“We are very pleased with the decision of the court and believe it reflects the extensive efforts of the Company to embrace its role of Salvor-in-Possession of Titanic,” stated Christopher Davino, Premier Exhibitions, Inc’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “We will continue to honor this role through our upcoming expedition to the wreck of Titanic commencing on August 22, 2010, as well as through our touring exhibit Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition.”

Premier Exhibitions, Inc. will host a conference call to discuss the Court opinion on Friday, August 13, 2010 at 9:00 a.m. (EDT).
