Saturn (the planet) would float if you could find anything large enough for it to float in.
The density of Saturn is 0.687 g/cm³ which is less than water.
However, the density of Saturn (the planet) is always calculated as the "mean density", indicating that the mass of the core, water, and gasses are all combined to provide the total mass of the planet, and the volume, including the gas mantle is used to calculate mean density. Naturally the gas mantle will float, since it is significantly less dense than water, but if the planet were placed in a theoretical container of water, the gas would no longer be a significant part of the process, and the core of the planet would sink.
So... it depends on how you're deciding whether the planet will float. Are you putting a large balloon around it then putting it into the theoretical container of water? Yes, it will float if that's what you're doing. But if the gas of the planet is allowed to act as a gas, everything changes... you decide.
Saturn (the vehicle) would float briefly, while the windows and doors are closed, but as air is displaced, water would fill the inside of the vehicle and it would sink.
If you wanted to fill the interior with beach balls or something else that would hold air... it would probably float.

Why could Saturn be able to float in a planet sized tub?
Saturn would float in a bathtub because it has the lowest density of all the planets. If something has very low density, it floats. Thus explaining why Saturn would float
Which planets density is lesser than that of water?
Saturn's is.
What planet is so light it would float in water?
SATURN.
Which planet is less dense and can float?
Saturn is a gas planet, and if it were possible to place it in water it would float. Not sure if the rings would float, but, the planet itself would.
What planet has density less than water?
Saturn. It has been said that if you could find enough water and a large enough bath, Saturn would float in it.Note: Jupiter is not the correct answer:Any object whose density is less than water will float in water.Density of Water: 1 g/cm3Density of Saturn: 0.687 g/cm3Density of Jupiter: 1.326 g/cm3
What planetcan float in water?
That would be Saturn, since it lacks in density it would be light enough to float in an ocean big enough for it.
What is an fun fact about Saturn?
That Saturn's density is so low that it would float on water (if a big enough body of water were found).
Which planet could float on a giant planet?
The low density of Saturn would allow it to float in liquid water.
What is special about Saturns density?
Saturn's density is so low that it can even float on water, it has the less density in all solar objects.
Which of the planets has a density less than water and therefore would float?
Saturn
How light is the planet Saturn?
So light it would actually float on water.
What planet would float if you could find an ocean big enough?
Saturn
