- Abstract
The era of space travel has begun. However, as the travel distance increases, so does the travel time. Apollo 11 took approximately four days to reach the surface of the Moon. Journeys to Mars are said to take several months to complete. Although technological advances may somewhat shorten the travel time, it will still be difficult to reach a space destination in a few hours. However, few services have been developed to help passengers enjoy their long stays on board spacecraft. Being stuck in a spaceship for months on end is not good for one's mental health. Therefore, we focused on the activities provided to passengers on board luxury cruise ships. For example, dance parties is held to entertain cruise ship passengers. In this report, we present the results of our survey of past activities on luxury cruise ships and discuss some activities that could be applied to space travel.
