Virtuoso adds spaceflight partner to its
exclusive global portfolio
Limited number of remaining seats available to
Virtuoso's global client base
Virtuoso®, the leading global network specializing in luxury and
experiential travel, and Virgin Galactic (NYSE: SPCE), an aerospace
and space travel company, today announced a strategic partnership
to make a limited number of seats for Virgin Galactic’s spaceflight
experience available to Virtuoso’s global client base.
Virgin Galactic is opening the door to a new space age – and
this agreement makes the wonder and awe of space travel accessible
through Virtuoso’s portfolio of top-tier luxury experiences. Virgin
Galactic’s elegant and distinctive flight system takes off and
lands on a runway and allows passengers to experience
weightlessness and breathtaking views of Earth, all in unparalleled
comfort. In the lead up to space flight, Future Astronauts enjoy
access to the flagship membership community, including exclusive
events, trips and activities around the world. The experience
culminates in a multi-day, all inclusive astronaut training and
hospitality program for the customer and three guests at Virgin
Galactic’s planned innovative campus – all delivered with trademark
Virgin style and designed to enrich the transformative experience
of space.
Virgin Galactic joins Virtuoso’s portfolio of more than 2,200
luxury travel partners in 100 countries worldwide. The agreement
will present new referral and marketing opportunities to Virtuoso’s
network of more than 20,000 luxury travel advisors and their
upscale clientele. At the same time, Virgin Galactic will gain
direct relationships with the world’s leading luxury travel
advisors in North and Latin America, the Caribbean, Europe,
Asia-Pacific, Africa and the Middle East.
“Virtuoso is excited to welcome Virgin Galactic back into our
partner portfolio and to offer our clients a travel experience like
no other,” said Virtuoso Chairman and CEO Matthew D. Upchurch. “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, transformational travel, a Virgin
Galactic spaceflight is the ultimate experience.”
Virtuoso agencies worldwide sell an average of $25-$30 billion
annually, making the network the most significant player in luxury
travel. Its partners, which specialize in world-class client
services and experiences, provide superior offerings, rare
opportunities, and exceptional value for Virtuoso clients.
“Virtuoso’s prominence as the world leader in the luxury
experiential travel category makes them the ideal strategic partner
to expand our reach in this valuable sector,” said Blair Rich,
Virgin Galactic President & Chief Business Officer, Commercial
and Consumer Operations. “We are excited to offer this limited
quantity of tickets to Virtuoso clients and to connect with those
who are searching for meaningful, deeply transformational travel
experiences.”
Virtuoso travel advisors will have exclusive access to a limited
number of reservations within Virgin Galactic’s first 1,000 seats.
Seats will sell at the standard price of $450,000.
