What sort of submarine are you looking for? travelscience.com lists 2 tour companies that offer deep-sea submarine expeditions to the titanic, bismark or black smokers. The advenbtures.ca tour is 12 days long and will set you back ~$60.000, but im not sure how much fun it would be in such a small can:
AFAIK it takes ~2h to dive to the titanic, and 2h to get back up.
The Navy does have programs that will allow journalists, community leaders, and other individuals to spend a great deal more time on a submarine than just a few minutes. However, these are not exactly common, and not for a week. For instance, in this story, educators from Chicago were able to spend a day on a fast attack sub.
On the second day, the group embarked USS Albuquerque (SSN 706) for a day-long underway period. During their brief journey, the group experienced what life is really like on a U.S. Navy fast attack submarine and sampled the culinary fare Sailors eat while at sea.
The USAF also offers flights in different aircraft to civilians under the same goodwill program.
I am not personally aware of any programs in foreign services, however it is very likely that many of the more modern all volunteer forces have similar programs to foster goodwill and a favorable public image.
