The ship design will be based on SpaceShipOne, and will have a very similar flight profile. Branson's "Virgin Galactic" space tourism company will have passengers in flight for an hour or two. Less than five minutes of that will be above the magic 100km "space starts here" altitude, with the ship in freefall for a very short while longer on the way up and down.
Flights will almost certainly be offered as part of a several-day package deal.
