Global Travel Collection, a division of Internova Travel Group, has partnered with Space Perspective to offer space flights.
Last week, Global Travel Collection announced a new partnership with Space Perspective, the first luxury spaceflight experience provider. This partnership will enable people seeking unique luxury experiences to see our planet from above.
GTC-branded travel advisors are now taking reservations for six-hour trips on the Neptune spacecraft that will bring passengers to the edge of space, 100,000 feet above Earth.
We are always looking for new and unique opportunities for our advisors to offer the traveler who has been everywhere. A space flight certainly fits this criteria. Until now, this historic opportunity has only been available to a select few. I know many of our customers will want to sign up and we are delighted to offer them this adventure through our partnership with Space Perspective.

Space Perspective’s Neptune spacecraft is an innovative and elegant spacecraft, as well as the most accessible, sustainable and safest spacecraft in the world. Neptune is driven by a 700-foot tall SpaceBalloon™ that makes the ride extremely comfortable. Additionally, the Neptune spacecraft is the first carbon-neutral route into space. The zero-emission spacecraft capsule is reused many times. At the end of the flight, the SpaceBalloon is retrieved and recycled.
Due to limited capacity, space travel bookings are going fast. Global Travel Collection has secured seats for its travel advisors on three space flights, each with eight seats, set to lift off in late 2025.
It is exciting to join forces with a travel industry leader like Global Travel Collection as we launch a new frontier of space tourism and travel offerings.

Angie Licea, President of Global Travel Collection, said that one of GTC’s top priorities is to ensure that their travel advisors have access to adequate training on space travel services.
However, our priority is to ensure our advisors have access to the latest training on space travel related products and services to keep them ahead of the curve.

According to Edyta Teper, Head of Global Sales and Trade Partnerships for Space Perspective, GTC’s travel advisors help customers get early access to spaceflight and get a “previously unimaginable perspective on Planet Earth that will stay with them long after they return home.”
The space flight costs $125,000 per passenger. The spacecraft’s pressurized space lounge provided maximum comfort. It’s big enough to lift and move around in flight. In addition, the spacecraft has a fully stocked bar (with champagne for a toast), a bathroom and WiFi on board.
Passengers will spend two hours at the edge of space before landing back on planet Earth. The experience will be captured with interior and exterior video and photography.
