Space Perspective has forged a new partnership with Signature Travel Network enabling the group’s travel advisors from over 280 member agencies in the US and globally – including members of TravelManagers Australia – to now sell its luxury travel experience to space.
A potential arrangement between Space Perspective and luxury travel agencies was first flagged exclusively by LATTE in June last year.
“This new partnership with Signature Travel Network will help us to expand our reach by connecting us with more passionate and curious people who are looking to become Space Explorers,” said Jane Poynter, Space Perspective’s Founder and Co-CEO.
“We’re thrilled that the expert travel advisors with Signature Travel Network can now offer their clients the sustainable, life-transforming experience that Space Perspective will deliver,” she said.

Space Perspective says it will set a “new bar in out-of-this-world thrilling experiences” with its 6-hour adventure. It will take “Space Explorers” to space aboard the Spaceship Neptune capsule, suspended from a high-performance SpaceBalloon. The company emphasises that its space offering will operate “without carbon emitting rocket fuel or high G forces”.
Heidi Podjavorsek, Vice President, Land & Specialty Supplier Partners at Signature Travel Network, speaking at this week’s annual conference in Las Vegas, said: “Adding Space Perspective to our preferred partner networks for the first time allows us to offer a carbon-neutral luxury spaceflight experience to our portfolio”.
“Our members look for one-of-a-kind travel experiences for their clients and a six-hour journey to the edge of space and back is certainly a powerful, life-changing experience like no other,” Podjavorsek said.
“I have a strong, long-standing, relationship with Signature Travel Network and I’m thrilled to be working with them again now at Space Perspective,” added Edyta Teper, Space Perspective’s Head of Global Sales, Trade Partnerships.
“Signature’s commitment to supporting their members is a perfect fit with our commercial strategy that deeply values the advisor-client relationship.”
“We look forward to working with Signature members as they present this inspiring, sustainable and perspective changing experience to their clients.”
