Begin Your Space JourneyThe Ultimate Journey Awaits
Space travel is no longer science fiction — it's a reality available to private adventurers today. Through our Expedition Department, Awaken Travels can now offer access to the most extraordinary journey a human being can take: leaving Earth and seeing our planet from above.
We currently offer three distinct pathways to space, each with its own character, level of immersion, and investment. Whether you're drawn to the serene contemplation of a stratospheric balloon flight or the transformational experience of spending days in orbit, our role is to guide you to the right experience for your goals, comfort level, and sense of adventure.
Three Pathways to Space
Each option offers a distinct experience — from gentle near-space serenity to the full intensity of orbital spaceflight.
Stratospheric Balloon Flight
Ascend to the stratosphere suspended beneath a pressurized capsule. While this does not technically cross the Kármán line, the visual experience is remarkable — a prolonged and serene view of Earth against the blackness of space. There is no G-force exposure, making this the most gentle and contemplative way to experience near-space.
Suborbital Spaceflight
The most accessible form of human spaceflight today. Flights reach the edge of space at roughly 80 to 100 km above Earth, offering extraordinary views of the planet's curvature and several minutes of true weightlessness. These experiences have minimal physical requirements, making them suitable for travelers seeking a relatively seamless introduction to space.
Orbital Spaceflight
The most advanced and immersive option. Travelers enter low Earth orbit and remain in space for several days. This experience involves extensive preparation and training, similar in scope to that undertaken by professional astronauts. It is truly transformational and represents the pinnacle of private human spaceflight.
Understanding the Investment
As a broad guide, space experiences typically start from around USD $700,000 and can range into the tens of millions, depending on the type of flight, mission profile, level of training, and degree of private customization required. All options are available for booking now, with quotes provided on a case-by-case basis.
This is not a catalog purchase — it's a deeply personal journey. We begin with a confidential conversation about your vision, then work directly with our expedition partners to design and price the experience that's right for you.
