A series of elite services including the establishment of top chefs in special hotels situated in space is to cost £5m for a three and a half day stay orbiting earth.
It will include top level entertainment with stars like Beyonce performing, and guests will be able to go on their own space walks.
Shuttles will transport a mixture of space tourists, scientists carrying out low-gravity, and researchers. It will likely also accommodate the media given the global interest in its inauguration.
The voyager Station’s hotel will include many of the features which includes themed restaurants, a health spa and a cinema.
It will feature a series of pods attached to the outside of the rotating ring and some of these pods could be sold to the likes of NASA and ESA for space research.
The Voyager Class space station will be made up of a series of rings, with a number of ‘modules’ attached to the outermost of the rings
They will also include a gym, kitchen, restaurant, bar and other essential facilities for people due to be on the station longer term.
Blincow explained: ‘We want to have Sting come up and play, and Beyoncé.’ He added: ‘There’ll be two shows every night. … That’s part of the entertainment package.’
Before boarding a SpaceX Starship shuttle to Voyager Station, those travelling to the hotel will be required to undergo some safety and physical training.
Shuttles will reportedly transport a mix of space tourists, scientists carrying out low-gravity research and service industry professionals who will deliver high quality service at the hotel.
These professionals will reportedly include top chefs who will have the opportunity to create kitchens for the space station. This sort of service is reflected in the price tag, with tourists set to pay $5 million for an approximate 3½ days orbiting planet Earth.
Blincow said:
”It’s a historic moment. You’re going to have the top chefs making really, really good food. And when you pay $5 million to go someplace, it’s not going to be burgers and fries.
Entertainment onboard will reflect, the high-flying status of the orbital hotel, with Blincow explaining: ‘We want to have Sting come up and play, and Beyoncé.’ He added: ‘There’ll be two shows every night. … That’s part of the entertainment package.’
And if that’s not enough star power for the price of a ticket, there will even be the opportunity for guests to go on their own spacewalks.

Inspired by astronauts who have told him of their own experiences, Blincow said: ‘There’s nothing between you and the universe but the face plate.’
‘Going out there and looking at the whole solar system and the Earth from the outside, it’s going to be an extraordinary moment.’
