Cruise Planners has announced that it is working with Space Perspective to offer its clients a chance to go to space. Cruise Planners has reserved two full capsules scheduled to fly in 2025 and 2027 respectively on Spaceship Neptune. The six-hour journey takes eight Explorers and a pilot to the edge of space in a pressurized capsule propelled by a SpaceBalloon.
Spaceship Neptune will differ from other spacecraft by being attached and secured to the SpaceBalloon for the entirety of the flight. Other vessels separate mid-flight and transfer to different flight systems. According to Space Perspective, Spaceship Neptune will be lifted to space by the SpaceBalloon, powered by renewable hydrogen with no rockets and no carbon footprint. Guests won’t have the jarring blastoff that is typical of space travel, but instead will ascend steadily at 12 mph, making the experience accessible for anyone who is able to fly with a commercial airline.
The interior Space Lounge layout has been designed to maximize comfort and enhance the quintessential astronaut experience of seeing the beauty of planet Earth from space. Explorers can take advantage of the telescope and interactive screens that share key information as the journey unfolds or celebrate with a champagne toast from the bar. Guests can enjoy the view from large windows offering 360-degree visibility. A high-speed Wi-Fi connection will be available, allowing guests to share the experience with friends and family.
Cruise Planners hosted the first of many seminars to train advisors on this experience so they can help answer any questions their clients may have. While this opportunity is not for the general consumer, Cruise Planners is thrilled to be able to provide rare and curated experiences for every type of traveler.
