Is It Possible to Build an "Unsinkable" Ship?

Sure it's possible, but is it economical?

Every person is only willing to pay so much for a ticket, you could make ships that couldn't be sunk but it would cost so much that it wouldn't be worth it.

Instead of making unsinkable ships, we put lifeboats on sinkable ships.

Exactly - these are pretty unsinkable, but not very comfortable for a cruise - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamar_class_lifeboat
