Bored of beaches, cruises, ancient cities and great works of art? Does the thought of another week in a high-end spa, on a private island or luxury yacht fill you with world-weary ennui?

Then a trip to space is for you. After a number of delays and setbacks, several companies are edging closer to offering voyages into space. All you need is money (lots and lots of money), a healthy approach to risk and a little patience.

But which space tourism provider to choose? In the absence of a cosmic version of Tripadvisor, we rated the various options, according to cost, ‘wow factor’ and more.

So, with your will up to date and waiver form signed, here are the options for becoming a 21st Century spacefarer:

VIRGIN GALACTIC

What they say: Only 553 people have been to space. Virgin Galactic is opening space to the rest of us.

Mission: Taking off slung beneath a twin-hulled carrier aircraft, Virgin’s SpaceShipTwo will carry six passengers and two pilots. Once the aircraft reaches around 50,000ft (15 kilometres), your spacecraft will be released to rocket through the atmosphere more than 62 miles (100 kilometres) into space.
