“Virtuoso is excited to welcome Virgin Galactic back into our partner portfolio and to offer our clients a travel experience like no other,” said Matthew D. Upchurch, chairman and CEO of Virtuoso. “As a Future Astronaut myself, I can speak firsthand to the curated, high-touch and one-of-a-kind journey Virgin Galactic offers, as well as the community it cultivates. Travel transforms us and pushes us out of our comfort zone. For our advisors who have clients seeking pioneering, transformative travel, a Virgin Galactic spaceflight is the ultimate experience.”
Virgin Galactic’s flight system launches and lands from a runway, allowing passengers to experience weightlessness and take in breathtaking views of Earth. Before flying, prospective travelers can join the membership community, which provides access to exclusive events, curated trips and activities around the world. The experience culminates in a multiday, all-inclusive astronaut training and hospitality program for the passenger and up to three guests at Virgin Galactic’s campus.

“Virtuoso’s prominence as the world leader in luxury experiential travel makes them an ideal strategic partner to extend our reach in this market,” said Blair Rich, president and chief business officer, commercial and consumer operations at Virgin Galactic. “We are pleased to offer a limited quantity of tickets to Virtuoso clients and to connect with travelers seeking meaningful, deeply transformational experiences.”
Virgin Galactic joins Virtuoso’s portfolio of more than 2,200 luxury travel partners. Virtuoso travel advisors will have access to a limited number of reservations among Virgin Galactic’s first 1,000 seats, offered at the standard price of $450,000.
