Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser [Walt Disney World Resort - 2022-2023]

Le premier panel de la Destination D23 : A Fan-Tastic Disney Celebration s'est achevé.

Josh d'Amaro, président de Disney Parks, Experiences and Products, nous a présenté à nouveau le sabre laser et nous en a fait une démonstration dans une courte vidéo tournée il y a une quinzaine de jours lors de sa visite à Star Wars : Galactic Starcruiser :




L'Imagineer Scott Trowbridge l'a rejoint sur scène pour peindre l'unique expérience immersive qu'est Star Wars : Galactic Starcruiser, une croisière simulée dans une galaxie lointaine, très lointaine.


L'Imagineer nous a présenté Gaia, une des artistes-vedettes de la galaxie qui se produira à bord du croiseur interstellaire Halcyon :


Il se pourrait que l'on croise Gaia au Sublight Lounge ou au Crown of Corellia. Mais que fait une telle diva à bord d'un navire tel que l'Halcyon ? Sa présence cacherait-elle autre chose ? C'est ce que les passagers pourront découvrir lors de leur séjour à bord !

Disney’s Josh D’Amaro Gives Sneak Peek of Lightsaber Training in Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser

Amid all the excitement and curiosity surrounding the forthcoming Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser at Walt Disney World Resort, there’s one thing I’m looking forward to the most: lightsaber training.

When this first-of-its-kind vacation experience begins welcoming guests aboard the Halcyon starcruiser on March 1, 2022, they’ll finally know what it’s like to feel the Force and wield a lightsaber as they square off against a training remote, similar to Luke Skywalker in Star Wars: A New Hope. It’s one of the many immersive activities that comprise this two-night adventure where you’ll see, feel and live Star Wars.

This morning at Destination D23, Disney Parks, Experiences and Products Chairman Josh D’Amaro gave us a sneak peek at this much-anticipated moment aboard the starcruiser. Let’s take our first step into a larger world and watch as Josh tests his skills with a lightsaber.



Oh, wait … there was more? Yes, Josh also stopped by the starcruiser’s bridge, where Disney Imagineer Sara Thacher taught him how to defend the ship using some trusty blaster cannons. Guests will learn these skills, too, during their adventure … which may come in handy should anything unexpected happen. But nah, everything always goes according to plan in that galaxy far, far away, right?

This is just a taste of what’s to come for Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, so keep checking back with us here at the Disney Parks Blog as we hurtle toward March 1 like we’re jumping to lightspeed.

So until next time, just remember … the Force will be with you, always.

Le cinquième panel de la journée comprend une session centrée sur l'expérience immersive Star Wars : Galactic Starcruiser, sa genèse, son déroulement, la mission, les activités, les easter eggs, les connexions avec les autres médias présent et à venir (romans, comics), la cuisine à bord, les articles souvenirs etc... :

Donc les gens vont payer des milliers de dollars par personne pour entre autre se pencher de gauche à droite pour éviter un laser qui sort du mur qu'il faut toucher avec le sabre pour que ca fasse "bzzzz bzzzz" et pour activer un levier devant un écran qui activera une vidéo simulant l'hyper vitesse ou simuler un jeu digne de Space Invaders ? Bien...

Encore heureux que pour compenser ils dormiront dans de belles et spacieuses chambres... Non ? Ah...

Disney World introduces new Star Wars character for epic Starcruiser experience: 'This is not a hotel!'

EW exclusively reveals Captain Keevan's role in a preview of the two-day Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser journey that weaves interconnected stories for multiple endings.

If you thought Galactic Starcruiser would be a mere Star Wars-themed resort, your expectations are light-years off.

"This is not a hotel," stresses Imagineering executive Scott Trowbridge, clarifying that the two-night interstellar affair (opening March 3 — at nearly $5,000 a stay — just outside Disney's Hollywood Studios park) is "part video game, live-action role-play, immersive theater, and luxury experience all rolled into one."

Unlike a traditional hotel where weary parkgoers retire to relax and sleep, Trowbridge says Starcruiser is a place to "live a Star Wars adventure" alongside characters and locales lifted from the beloved franchise's movies, books, comics, video games, and TV shows — with some new faces in the mix, including ship leader Captain Keevan (below).

"We'll learn a lot more about her and her role in some pretty iconic moments in Star Wars history," he teases, adding that she runs the ship with "capability and professionalism second to none." But, just like the experience around her, "there may be more to her than meets the eye."

Starcruiser guests will book "departure times" and sync up with a fleet of others, but you'll navigate the narrative differently "depending on the choices you make" along a "multi-threaded set of interlocking and interweaving stories," Trowbridge says. "You may choose to affiliate with a certain group of scoundrel-type folks, so the story will play out differently for you than it would for somebody who's decided to become an undercover Resistance operative."

You'll be permitted to visit Disney's parks, but you probably won't want to, as your performance in things like light saber combat practice and crew-style bridge training can impact where you land when the ship docks.

The number of possible outcomes for your voyage? "I suspect we could calculate that, but it hasn't been important to me to know what that number is, because it's a lot," he says. "What I hope is that our guests don't come to this with a feeling of there being a number of options."

Like the universe, it should feel infinite.

Après la série de comics Star Wars : Halcyon Legacy et les romans de la Haute République Mission to Disaster de Justina Ireland et Midnight Horizon de Daniel José Older qui mettent déjà en scène le starcruiser Halcyon, le croiseur interstellaire est à nouveau au coeur d'une oeuvre littéraire de la franchise Star Wars !

The Princess and the Scoundrel, le nouveau roman de Beth Revis déjà auteure de Soulèvement rebelle, se situe juste après les événements de Star Wars : Le Retour du Jedi.  

L'histoire commence sur la lune forestière d'Endor, où Han fait sa demande en mariage à la Princesse Leia Organa dans l'exaltation de la victoire contre l'Empire.

Après une cérémonie sur le site de la célébration de la victoire à la fin du film, les jeunes mariés partent pour une lune de miel à bord du... starcruiser Halcyon, le navire de luxe au cœur de la nouvelle expérience Star Wars : Galactic Starcruiser qui accueillera ses premiers voyageurs le 1er mars prochain à Walt Disney World Resort.

Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Tells a New Story

I’ve been reading Star Wars novels and comics since I was a kid, because I love how they take me deeper into this universe I first saw in movies and later in TV series. What I’ve always appreciated about Star Wars is how it’s really one big story – everything fits together in an extended narrative that literally spans thousands of years.

That story can take many forms … including immersive Disney experiences. We saw this with Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge when it debuted in 2019 and brought us into the conflict between the Resistance and the First Order right after the events of Star Wars: The Last Jedi. And now we’re going to learn even more of that story when Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser debuts March 1 here at Walt Disney World Resort.

Walt Disney Imagineering developed Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge and Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser at the same time, intending for them to complement not only each other, but the broader place in Star Wars history in which they’re set. Collaborating with Lucasfilm, they created the Halcyon starcruiser, our setting for this new two-night immersive adventure that takes us deeper into the tales of that galaxy far, far away. Here to tell you more about the ship and its story are Imagineer Travis Finstein and Matt Martin from Lucasfilm Franchise Content & Strategy.

7 Burning Questions Answered About Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser

Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser voyages begin March 1, 2022, and given that it’s a first-of-its-kind experience, we understand if you have a lot of questions. This week, we cruised aboard the famed ship—and now we’re here to answer your burning questions.

1. Is Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser a hotel ?

Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser is not a hotel—it’s an entirely new vacation experience! It’s a two-night, immersive adventure where your choices impact an epic Star Wars story. There’s plenty to explore onboard the starcruiser with themed activities, accommodations, and more. Plus, you’ll visit Black Spire Outpost on Batuu during a daytime excursion to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.



2. How does the role-playing aspect of the experience work ?

During your voyage, you won’t just meet new and familiar Star Wars characters—you’ll interact with them in ways you’ve only previously imagined. They need your help, and whether it’s through in-person conversations or private messages using your Star Wars: Datapad (via the Play Disney Parks mobile app), you can join them on daring missions. Remember: Characters you meet one day might lead to bold new adventures the next!

“Immersive theater is still relatively new to the industry, and I think Disney understands that not all guests have had the opportunity to experience it,” Alex Lee, Production Manager, Disney Live Entertainment, says. “We’ve created characters to help guide and inform how to play. This is very specific to [new character] Sandro Alimander, who’s there as a guest; he’s there as a window, so you can see how he interacts with the performers, how he’s interacting with you, and what the rules of engagement are that play through Sandro. Hopefully by seeing a unique character trying to participate and be part of this story, that inspires you as a guest to continue to play.”

3. Can I dress up in costume during my voyage ?

Definitely! What you wear is part of the fun. Since you are a character in the story, it’s important to dress the part. If you wish to participate, you can even show off your look during the Outer Rim Regalia event! Clothes from your home planet are also welcome. Exclusive apparel is available in advance from shopDisney. Galactic attire is also available for purchase at The Chandrila Collection, the Halcyon starcruiser’s boutique.

Many of the items you’ll find on shopDisney or in The Chandrila Collection were reproduced from Star Warsfilms. “My team and I spent so much time in the [Lucasfilm] archives,” Brad Schoeneberg, VP of Brand Merchandising, says. “We held and measured the original costumes, so we knew what they felt like, we knew the materials, we knew the fabrications. We produced the most realistic items imaginable. What those actors felt wearing those costumes should give you a little hint of what you’re going to feel here.”

Before you pack, please read over the Walt Disney World Resort Property Rules



4. Will I encounter Star Wars characters during my adventures ?

Yes. During your Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser voyage, you’ll interact with them in ways you’ve only dreamed of. You might help hide a Wookiee stowaway, or you might feed intel to the First Order to gain their trust. The choice is yours, but keep in mind that your interactions—and their perceptions—will affect how your adventure unfolds. You’ll also meet new characters about the Halcyon Starcruiser, including crew members Captain Riyola Keevan, Cruise Director Lenka Mok, and Sammie the mechanic; droids SK-62O and D3-O9; and musicians Gaya, Ouannii, and Sandro Alimander. Watch out for the First Order Stormtroopers, who are under the command of Lt. Croy. During your voyage, you might even see some familiar faces from the Star Wars films, such as Rey and Kylo Ren.

“We brought in some industry experts in immersive theater to help us understand that craft and really make it a comfortable environment for everyone,” Marc Rothschild, Producer, Disney Live Entertainment, says. “Our actors are trained to guide the way and to help guide the story. It’s nice, because it’s a really intimate environment, so we are creating these really intimate conversations. I would say seek those out. If you’re not comfortable in the big stories and becoming part of it, then possibly just try an element in a smaller environment, maybe in your lightsaber training. It’s a good opportunity to see if you could be a different character and bring some story to that.”

5. How do I use the Star Wars: Datapad ?

Star Wars: Datapad is one of the many fun, interactive experiences offered within the Play Disney Parks app*. It enhances your adventure when you visit Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, but more than that, it is an essential tool while aboard the Halcyon starcruiser. The Star Wars: Datapad offers a personalized itinerary of activities and events, and it presents communications from the crew and others you may encounter along the way.

For those who are less experienced role-players, the Star Wars: Datapad is a great way to begin interacting with characters. “I’m an introvert, so going up and talking to a person I’ve never met before is a little intimidating,” Anisha Deshmane, Creative Producer, Walt Disney Imagineering, says. “But having a person reach out to me and say, ‘We haven’t met yet, but I have this information I need to tell somebody about,’ gives me an invitation to play in a way I might not have accepted in-person. We’ve layered all of these different invitations for guests. Some people are going to have a great time hanging out in the Sublight Lounge, and a character is going to wander in and strike up a conversation with them. That’s an invitation to get involved in the story. Some of our some of our passengers are going to sit back and take a look at their Datapad and wait for messages to arrive. It’s another way to get invited into the story.”

If you are planning a Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser voyage, please download or update the Play Disney Parks App on your mobile device prior to your departure date.



6. What is the food and beverage experience like aboard the Halcyon Starcruiser ?

Breakfast and lunch are served in the glamorous Crown of Corellia Dining Room. Enjoy delicacies from across the galaxy, along with familiar favorites from your home planet.

Your days will begin with an off-planet breakfast of hot and cold small plates, along with a variety of beverages—including Bubo Wamba Family Farms blue milk! During lunch, you’ll have a choice of small bites, from salads and sandwiches to soups and sweets.

On the first night, the Crown of Corellia Dining Room transforms into a table-service supper club with a special musical appearance by the galactic superstar Gaya. Enjoy a special evening with distinctive dining and entertainment. On the second night, the “Taste Around the Galaxy” showcases courses inspired by the geography and surroundings of destination planets across the galaxy. Indicate your preference for first or second dinner seating (based on availability) when you book your vacation package.

Complimentary snacks are available in the Atrium on both days, and cocktails and other beverages, in addition to a few small bites, will be served in the Sublight Lounge.

7. How can I book a Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser vacation?

You can reserve a Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser voyage today by calling (407) 939-1800 between 7 a.m. and 11 p.m. p.m. ET. Guests under 18 years of age must have parent or guardian’s permission to call. The cost of your Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser voyage varies based on your party size, voyage dates, and desired cabin or suite type.

A Guide to the Locations Onboard the Halcyon Starcruiser

Oh, the places you’ll go...

Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, an immersive-theater experience playing out over two nights, will open March 1, 2022, at Walt Disney World Resort—and although we just returned to Earth after embarking on an early voyage, we’re still seeing stars even now! The Halcyon starcruiser has a rich history in the Star Wars universe, but in case you’re unfamiliar with the glorious vessel, some experts are here to get you better acquainted.

Doug Chiang, Vice President and Executive Creative Director, Lucasfilm, says they approached the ship‘s design the same way they approached it for the Star Wars films. “There's a logic to it in terms of the form language, and why the spaces are there,” he tells D23. “When you do that homework, that automatically grounds it in something very familiar, and then we layer in the Star Wars aesthetic. The whole layout is very purposeful in terms of where the bridge is, where the restaurants are, how the hallways connect to the spaces, because that all ties into the exterior ship design. It makes everything onboard the Halcyon starcruiser feel very real—because it is, in some ways, very real.”

µ

WE’VE GOT A GOOD FEELING ABOUT THIS

Your experience begins when you arrive at a terminal just outside of Disney’s Hollywood Studios. It looks like a non-descript bunker—but the minute you set foot inside the Launch Pod, you’ll see yourself hurtling toward the sky through a viewport on the ceiling! After the doors open, crew members will greet you in the Halcyon starcruiser’s Atrium, the ship’s central gathering space. Once everyone is onboard, Captain Riyola Keevan will welcome all to the ship from the muster. The Atrium is a good place to meet friends both old and new, and to participate in events and games.

“We designed a ship that needs to feel authentic and part of the Star Wars universe in the same way that the Millennium Falcon or the Tantive IV do,” Greg Ashton, Executive Architect, Walt Disney Imagineering, explains. “But it has to function. Guests have to be able to live in it and touch in it for two nights. We had to get all of the spaces to functionally lay out and integrate, but also have their own character. Some are moody, some are intimate. It was a great challenge for us to be creative but also pragmatic.”

As the story unfolds, passengers may find themselves embarking on missions in areas of the ship that would typically be forbidden. “With people spending so much time on the ship, we wanted it to be comfortable and sophisticated,” Ashton says. “Most of the ship is quite refined and well-appointed. But as you explore the Engineering Room, for example, there is a little bit of that Star Wars grit. Obviously, you see a lot of that when you go to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge and explore Black Spire Outpost, but it was fun to sneak that in here. We don’t show a lot of the behind the scenes, so to do it in-story adds to the overall experience: ‘We’re not supposed to be here, but let’s sneak away.’”



Matt Martin, Senior Creative Executive, Lucasfilm Ltd., adds, “That goes a long way with guests—that feeling of ‘I’m not supposed to be here, but I’m here, and look at all of this cool stuff!’ You hear people talk about it around the ship. A guest will say, ‘I was just in the Engineering Room,’ or, ‘I just in the Cargo Hold,’ so another guest will ask, ‘How did you get in there?’ It leads to some great story moments between the guests.”

If you prefer to take on a more passive role, there are plenty of things to appreciate onboard the Halcyon starcruiser. For example, the artwork hanging on the Mezzanine level in the Atrium is named “The Unified Galaxy,” depicting the Core Worlds all the way out to the edges of Wild Space. The piece was commissioned by Leia Organa and presented as a gift to the Halcyon starcruiser crew when she and her husband, Han Solo, honeymooned onboard the vessel after the battle of Endor. (Read all about it in Beth Revis’s novel Star Wars: The Princess and the Scoundrel, publishing August 16, 2022.)

The Hyperspace Compass on display in the Atrium honors the legacy of its original owner, Chandrila Star Line founder Shug Drabor. Across the way, a display case at the entrance to the Sublight Lounge holds a bottle of Chandrilan champagne from the same vintage as the year of the ship’s maiden voyage 275 years ago. As the bottle did not shatter during the ship’s christening, it was preserved as a symbol of good fortune.




A GALAXY OF ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES

As we mentioned, passengers become part of the action as soon as they board the ship—meaning there are many interactive elements sprinkled throughout the Halcyon starcruiser. As such, the tactile design elements were just as important as the dazzling décor. “It was very important to us, in a lot of our interactive spaces, to make it feel like it was actually part of the ship—that when you push a button, you see something happen because of it,” Dan Brookwell, Production Designer, Walt Disney Imagineering, says. “For example, our Bridge is made up of a bunch of different stations where each person has a different responsibility to do something that will impact the ship. We actually had a large exploratory session to ask: What does each button feel like when you push it? Should it be like satisfyingly clicky... or very soft? It all goes back to story.”

Bryce Schulte, Interior Designer, Walt Disney Imagineering, adds, “What’s really interesting about the Bridge—and a lot of components onboard—is that we didn’t want to lose that graphic, analog nature that Star Wars is known for. Dan and his team have done a great job of incorporating and melding those button placements to the graphic line work to make it all cohesive.”



One of our favorite experiences took place in the Lightsaber Training Pod, a specially equipped room dedicated to training passengers in the ancient art of wielding a lightsaber. “We worked with the experience team to come up with how they train people to determine what the space would require,” Chiang says. “The Imagineering team was spectacular in terms of coming up with the gameplay. It’s a deep experience—so it has to be very fulfilling, but simple enough so kids and adults can all learn how to wield a lightsaber.”



LET THE STARS BE YOUR GUIDE

Want to familiarize yourself with the rest of the Halcyon starcruiser? Read on for a brief overview...

Brig – a holding area installed while the Empire controlled the ship

Cabins – passengers’ rooms for the two-night voyage, featuring views out to space

Cargo Hold – the location for storage of goods and ship supplies (normally off-limits)

The Chandrila Collection – the place to purchase the finest apparel, accessories, and other gifts from around the galaxy

Climate Simulator – an open-air onboard location that mimics outdoor conditions of the ship’s destination—which, for this voyage, means Batuu

Crown of Corellia Dining Room – the ship’s supper club, offering a menu of fine dining from across the galaxy and live entertainment from musical superstar Gaya

Engineering Room – the control center for the inner workings of the ship

Sublight Lounge – the perfect place for a nice drink, a game of sabacc... or possibly a clandestine meeting

Transport Shuttle – a local shuttle from Batuu providing convenient and comfortable conveyance for planet-side excursions from the starcruiser to

Docking Bay 3 in Black Spire Outpost

While onboard the Halcyon starcruiser, you can access a map of the ship via any of the consoles, located in the Atrium and on multiple decks. In addition, the Star Wars: Datapad’s Map function (which you can access via the Play Disney Parks mobile app on your smart device*) provides the layout of the starcruiser, as well as Black Spire Outpost on Batuu.

May the Force be with you when your journey begins.

5 Ways to Fully Immerse Yourself in Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser

Are you ready to become the hero of your own Star Wars story?

Earlier this week, we embarked on a two-night adventure onboard the Halcyon Starcruiser—a vessel known for its impeccable service and exotic destinations—to gather intel on Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, opening March 1, 2022, at Walt Disney World Resort. This first-of-its-kind immersive adventure is a vacation experience that goes beyond anything Disney has ever done. What’s it like to travel to a galaxy far, far away—to really like to see, feel, and live a Star Wars story? You’re about to find out...

Every experience onboard the Halcyon starcruiser is carefully crafted to create a compelling narrative; think of it as choose-your-own-adventure role playing. During your voyage, choices you make while interacting with characters, crew, and other passengers affect your personal story. For example, you may be asked to deliver a secret message, take part in a high-stakes heist, or hide an ally (like we did for our friend Chewbacca). Not only do such decisions impact how the story will unfold for you, but they also intertwine with those of other passengers and well-known characters.



“We know that our guests are very diverse, so we wanted to create storylines that would appeal to different people,” Marc Rothschild, Producer, Disney Live Entertainment, says. “We have traditional Star Wars storylines with the Resistance and the First Order, but then we’ve also introduced some other storylines, like a romance storyline that everyone can interact with, that was crafted for them and their interests.”

Alex Lee, Production Manager, Disney Live Entertainment, adds, “It all depends on how you want to engage. We knew some guests would play lightly and take a more casual approach. We knew other guests would want to go heavy, LARP [Live Action Role-Playing]-style. We built the storyline so that you could take in all points of view, depending on how you play, and we could provide all those touchpoints for guests.”

The Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser narrative takes place between the films Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019). Now you’ll see what happens to Rey and Kylo Ren following the battle of Crait in a gripping storyline that connects to and complements Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

What else do you need to know before you go? Read on...



1. EXPLORE INTERACTIVE, INTEGRATED DESIGN DETAILS ONBOARD THE HALCYON STARCRUISER.

The Halcyon starcruiser is celebrating its 275th anniversary—and fans may already know it has lengthy history in the Star Wars universe. Built on Corellia in the same shipyards that produced the iconic Millennium Falcon, the Halcyon starcruiser is beautifully and elegantly designed; its clean, elegant lines are reminiscent of Leia Organa’s personal ship, the Tantive IV, while evoking the glitz of high galactic society.

According to Bryce Schulte, Interior Designer, Walt Disney Imagineering, “A lot of thought went into: What does a well-appointed starcruiser feels like in the context of Star Wars? And how do we make that feel authentic to guests who maybe have only seen one aspect of Star Wars, which might be more of a wild, wild west style? There are a lot of references. If you look at Dryden Vos’ First Light yacht, or the casinos in Canto Bight, they’re clean, beautiful, luxurious. We took references from those, and then, of course, gave the Halcyon starcruiser its own personality. You’ll see it reflected in the colors, the textures, and the furnishings.”

Over its lifetime, the Halcyon starcruiser changed hands many times and was used for various purposes, from covert diplomatic missions to Imperial engagements to Hutt-sponsored casino cruises and more. You become part of the action the moment you board the ship, which Chandrila Star Line has restored to its original glory to recreate its maiden voyage from the Core World of Chandrila to the far-flung Outer Rim destination of Batuu. The starcruiser is once again a gleaming example of the finest craftsmanship in the galaxy—a place to explore, to relax, and to go on an adventure.



To make sure everything onboard feels “authentically Star Wars,” Disney Imagineers “basically created a design language,” Dan Brookwell, Production Designer, Walt Disney Imagineering, tells D23. “We did the same thing when we designed Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, where we created a new place guests hadn’t seen before. But in order to do that properly, we had to figure out: What is the Star Wars essence? What is the DNA of that aesthetic?” The Imagineers worked closely with Lucasfilm Ltd. to answer those questions. “Using them as sort of a north star was especially helpful in beginning stages,” he says. “The great thing about the Halcyon starcruiser is that after a while the cadence takes on its own life, and then you start to see that design language flourish.”

As you might expect, the accommodations onboard the Halcyon starcruiser are unlike anything you’ll find on Earth. Passenger cabins feature a viewport into space that continuously changes during your journey. You’ll see planets, ships, stars, and other breathtaking galactic sights float by on the majestic canvas of the cosmos. The starcruiser features 100 cabins and suites, which create an atmosphere of comfort, exclusivity, and style.



Each Standard Cabin is fitted with furnishings and fixtures designed to ensure comfort while traversing the galaxy, including a pullout table and a TV with entertainment from your home planet. One-bedroom Galaxy Class Suites include a living space with an integrated seating area and all the comforts of Standard Cabins, plus a double-vanity bathroom, bar area, and two windows with views into space. Two-bedroom Grand Captain’s Suites come with all the comforts of Standard Cabins, plus an integrated seating area, a main suite with a double-vanity bathroom, a second bathroom with a single vanity, a bar area, three windows with views into space... and some fun surprises!

In your cabin or suite, you can choose to interact with D3-O9, the ship’s Logistics Droid, via vidscreen and have real-time conversations about your adventures. She knows everyone and everything happening onboard during a voyage. Commissioned centuries ago by Chandrila Star Line’s founder, D3-O9 has seen the Halcyon (and the entire galaxy) evolve, so she isn’t exactly shy about sharing their history or her opinions.

(When D3-O9 is activated by pressing the Droid Link button, recordings of sounds detected within the cabin, including voices, will be created to improve personalized interactions. At this time, D3-O9 will be only available for a limited test period.**)



Don’t be afraid to explore the Halcyon starcruiser, as you will perhaps find hidden spaces that are perfect for uncovering secrets or holding clandestine meetings. From the Lightsaber Training Pod, a specially equipped room for training passengers in the ancient art of wielding a lightsaber, to the Engineering Room, which serves as the ship’s control center (and is normally off-limits to passengers), there’s much to discover.

“We’ve created a space that is almost a palette for characters and guests to come in and recreate, based on how the story is unfolding,” Brookwell says. “The spaces can feel drastically different one night versus the next, because everybody makes it their own.”



2. JOIN THE RESISTANCE, THE FIRST ORDER... OR CHOOSE YOUR ALLEGIANCE FOR THE RIGHT PRICE.

You’ll encounter a wide array of characters during your two-night journey. They may be heroes of the Resistance, emissaries of the First Order, members of the ship’s crew, or others simply trying to make their own way in a galaxy far, far away. By interacting with these characters, you’ll make new friends, learn useful information, discover secret parts of the ship, go on special missions, and more. These moments build upon one another during your voyage, unlocking real-time, dynamic storytelling in ways Disney has never done before—driven by an eclectic cast of characters both familiar and new.

“It’s important that when passengers come onboard the starcruiser, they really understand that they are stepping into a Star Wars story,” Travis Finstein, Assistant Producer, Walt Disney Imagineering, tells D23. “Everything supports that, including the characters they encounter. We have an incredible cast bringing this experience to life and bringing a lot of character development to their performances. There are things fans have come to expect from Star Wars, so they draw from that; these characters are molded with that in mind. I think that’s why they are creating such strong impressions.”



You’ll be hard-pressed to find a more dedicated or loyal crew than the one aboard the Halcyon starcruiser. Charismatic, respected, and trustworthy, the Pantoran Captain Keevan remains cool under pressure as she leads each voyage. Her right-hand, Cruise Director Lenka Mok, is in charge of onboard entertainment; it’s her job to make sure each voyage is memorable. SK-62O, an astromech droid, is Mok’s assistant cruise director, ensuring things run smoothly and on time. The mechanic Sammie is eager to prove himself on the famous ship, and his tasks always seem to get done... somehow.

If you’re in the mood for stargazing, look no further than the Twi’lek singer Gaya, an all-around galactic superstar known for her distinctive music. On the first night, she treats passengers to an exclusive performance in the Crown of Corellia Dining Room—arranged by her smooth-talking manager, Raithe Kole. It’s his job to ensure Gaya gets everything she wants, no matter what. Ouannii provides accompaniment for Gaya’s performances. While she speaks Huttese (the same language of infamous gangster Jabba the Hutt), Ouannii has a charming personality that helps her make instant connections with guests—and with Sandro Alimander, an aspiring musician who’s a big fan of Gaya.



If you sensed the Force awakening in you... well, you’ve come to the right place! In Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016), the Empire destroyed the Jedi temple on Jedha, which was under the protection of the Guardians of the Whills. Though their survivors were scattered throughout the galaxy, the Guardians remained dedicated to preserving knowledge of the Force. Descendants of this group, known as the Saja, have found safe haven onboard the Halcyon starcruiser and use one of its training pods to teach the ancient art of the lightsaber. Though not Jedi themselves, they can sense the Force in others and teach them how to find their connection to this mystical power.

You’ll also encounter characters from other Star Wars films, such as Resistance heroes Chewbacca, R2-D2, C-3PO, and Rey, and the First Order’s Kylo Ren. As for new characters, the ambitious and intimidating First Order Lt. Harman Croy takes a special interest in the starcruiser after noticing that Resistance activity springs up at each of the ship’s ports of call. Like Lt. Croy, First Order Col. Grav Talis takes his duty and the mission of the First Order very seriously. He answers directly to General Hux and is intent on ridding the galaxy of Resistance fighters—and anyone who supports them. Under Lt. Croy’s command, First Order stormtroopers search the starcruiser to investigate rumors of Resistance fighters embedded among the crew and passengers.

Crew members come with their own unique back stories that span the entire galaxy. “We were really thrilled to empower cast members to find their place within the larger Star Wars galaxy,” Lee says. “We started to explore a little bit of that with Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge with how cast members were able to live their Star Wars story and bring that to guests to make it feel alive. Cory Rouse, one of our directors on the ship, has been really pivotal in integrating traditional entertainment with how it gets played. Each crew member is able to impact the guest experience based off their knowledge.”



3. EXCHANGE SECRET COMMUNICATIONS.

Deepen your engagement with characters and storylines via the Play Disney Parks mobile app on your smart device.* Through the Star Wars: Datapad, found inside the app, you can access a plethora of functions that will help guide your experience.

“The Star Wars: Datapad has existed in Play Disney Parks since the opening of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge as a way to deepen that experience,” Anisha Deshmane, Creative Producer, Walt Disney Imagineering, says. “We’ve expanded it for Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, creating custom tools to help our passengers better navigate their journey. It gives passengers private moments of choice and is seamlessly integrated into all of the other activations that make the starcruiser a fully immersive, 48-hour experience.”

The Events function updates your itinerary continuously throughout your two-night stay, evolving with new invitations and secret meetings as you interact with different characters and complete various missions. Need to change a scheduled activity? Ask a crew member for assistance. You wouldn’t want to miss lightsaber training, would you? From bridge training to sabacc lessons, you’ll find new adventures ’round every corner!


The Star Wars: Datapad’s Comms function, meanwhile, receives and sends information that relates to missions and adventures, which can impact how stories unfold during your voyage. It was a real badge of pride when Cruise Director Lenka Mok sent us a message and entrusted us to help her complete a covert assignment... and on the flip side, it was a real nail-biter when Lt. Croy questioned our allegiance to the First Order!

Not sure where to complete a mission? The Star Wars: Datapad’s Map function provides the layout of both the starcruiser and Black Spire Outpost on Batuu. Passengers use these maps for navigation as they go on missions during their adventure. The Tools function activates whenever a new job calls for a specific skill set, especially while on a planet-side excursion in Black Spire Outpost. Finally, the Profile function shows your affiliation as you continue through the story.

“Our job was to ensure that the Datapad doesn’t feel like it’s an isolated thing on your device,” Deshmane says. “It is connected to the things you see physically in the environment around you, where you can see the change being enacted in real time.”



On the second day of your voyage, the Star Wars: Datapad will again come in handy as you visit Black Spire Outpost on Batuu, unlocking new levels of engagement and interactivity across Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. There, adventures that began on the starcruiser the previous day continue to play out as part of the immersive storytelling.

Speaking of Batuu, your outing begins after transports take you directly to the planet’s surface, disembarking through an exclusive entrance at the outpost’s Docking Bay 3. Upon arrival, you may receive messages in the Star Wars: Datapad—sent by characters you met onboard the ship—asking you to engage in special and specific missions on Batuu. Pay close attention to the Star Wars: Datapad to help your new friends—or to betray and mislead them. As always, the choice is yours...

“The things you’re finding or revealing on your Datapad are playing into the overall story, but other people might not know about it,” Deshmane says. “You’re actually making an impact on other people’s stories as you’re going through your experience.”

As you accomplish various tasks—from “slicing” systems to translating messages written in Aurebesh—your reputation within the larger story builds and evolves, impacting how your adventures unfold when you return to the Halycon starcruiser later that day.



“Because there’s so much story, these characters are able to continue to communicate with you and deliver multiple points of view—to provide motivations, to provide closure, to provide reasons for you to keep exploring the ship,” Lee says. “All of that is integral to the Datapad and how that information is curated for you, based off of how you interact with those characters. For instance, you could be playing First Order really hard, so you’ll get one type of message. But if Lt. Croy perceives you might be double-crossing him, you’ll get a different type of message. Both [connect] to the larger story, but the way it comes to you, depending on that character interaction and perception, is what makes the integration of technology and entertainment so unique.”

As part of this unified story, starcruiser guests are given one-time entry to the two signature attractions in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge—Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run and Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance—through the Lightning Lane entrance. You can discover new context to the stories told in these attractions, learning more about the characters involved and the ramifications of the missions they undertake. Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser was developed at the same time as Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and they were designed to integrate from the beginning.

Lunch at Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo (or other select locations) is included for guests on a starcruiser voyage. You can also request reservations at Oga’s Cantina, Savi’s Workshop – Handbuilt Lightsabers, and Droid Depot (but the cost of food, beverages and merchandise at those places isn’t included in your Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser vacation).



4. EXPAND YOUR PALATE WITH EXCLUSIVE FOOD AND BEVERAGE OFFERINGS THAT ARE OUT OF THIS WORLD.

If the mere thought of dining at Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo or sipping a unique cocktail at Oga’s Cantina made your stomach grumble, just wait until we tell you about all of the delicious food and beverage offerings available onboard the Halcyon starcruiser! The ship boasts a robust and imaginative dining program developed especially for this vacation experience. Enjoy menus full of familiar tastes but unexpected colors and textures, deepening the immersion in your galactic voyage.

When the sky is literally the limit, how did Brian Piasecki, Culinary Director, Concept Development, develop the menu? Like all things onboard the Halcyon starcruiser, he says, “It all starts with the story. We have great partners with Walt Disney Imagineering, and once we sat with them and really understood the concept of the ship and what the cruise would be, we took that as an incredible challenge. They helped by sending us a great deck: ‘These are all the planets that are going to be on the tour of the Halcyon.’ Then we started our research: ‘What animals live there? What plants live there? What do each planet’s inhabitants eat?’ From there, we themed all our food around that.”

“Lucasfilm definitely had a lot to add to the conversation,” Piasecki continues. “Once we had the foods we wanted identified, we then went back to Lucasfilm and asked, ‘Can you help us with some names? What would you guys suggest for ‘vegetables’? So, we call it flora. Things like red fruit—that’s a tomato. Long fruit—that’s a banana.”



Each meal is served in the Crown of Corellia Dining Room, located on Deck 4. This dynamic and welcoming supper club offers breakfast and lunch buffets during the day, then comes alive each night of the voyage with a lavish multi-course, table-service menu of both otherworldly and familiar origins. “We want it to be a wow,” Piasecki says, “so we don’t want our guests to know what they are getting into that first night.”

And who doesn’t love dinner and a show? The first night’s dinner features a live performance from Gaya, the Twi’lek musical superstar with a big personality and an even bigger voice. You’ll be captivated as she moves throughout the room singing her top songs. (We found ourselves humming her hits throughout the rest of our stay onboard the starcruiser.) The Crown of Corellia transforms with lighting and movement as Gaya is accompanied by Ouannii, the talented Rodian musician, in a show that inspires the entire room to get up and dance. Listen carefully during their set, as you may find that Gaya’s dinnertime performance sheds light onto more of the goings-on around the ship; Gaya may have another reason for being aboard the starcruiser...



The second night offers the “Taste Around the Galaxy” dinner experience, with each course inspired by a different planet. “Walt Disney Imagineering had this great idea to take every course and design it around a planet, incorporating lighting and music, to really transport you to that planet,” Piasecki explains. “It was important to us and important for the story to serve each course family-style, because that allows us to serve everyone quickly so they get the same experience as they’re watching the show.”

Highlights from the “Taste Around the Galaxy” dinner experience include smoking cheeses and bread, reminiscent of the molten planet Mustafar; blue shrimp from the dense jungles of Felucia; and beef and seafood native to the Wookiee home world of Kashyyyk. “The blue shrimp I’m probably the most proud of, just because of the way it came out and the wow factor that it gives,” Piasecki tells D23. “It took us about six months to perfect. It wasn’t hard to find the blue color, but we had to find the right shade and the proper penetration of the blue into the meat of the shrimp. We had the vessels specially made—they’re individually handblown glass out of Spain—to give us the effect we’re looking for. Some of the dishes are very much over the edge and exotic, if you will, and some are a bit more familiar, because you need that balance.”

The Sublight Lounge, located just off the ship’s Atrium, offers a stylish locale for passengers to socialize and enjoy casual refreshments, including an assortment of ales, signature cocktails, and wines from across the galaxy, as well as complimentary snacks.



The sophisticated lounge isn’t Mos Eisley or Oga’s Cantina—it caters to a more upstanding clientele, shall we say. “We decided, ‘Hey, let the Cantina be the Cantina,” Jenn Mariano, Concept and Development Project Manager, Beverage, says. “We’re going to bring an elevation and a different style to our beverages at Sublight Lounge.”

Two of our favorite beverages include the Hoth Icebreaker and the Mooja Twist—but we sampled nearly all of them and can confirm that each has a distinct flavor and personality. “Just like anything we do at The Walt Disney Company, we start with story,” Mariano says. “The beverage team researched the planets and their inhabitants, and that’s how we came up with the base for each drink. When you look at the Hoth Icebreaker, for example, it started off with us thinking, ‘The Hoth planet is desolate, and you can’t really live on it. How can we make something enticing?’ We honor the beauty of the water underneath icebergs and put it into the beverage liquid itself. And even though we’re creating an intergalactic beverage, we have to make it something guests will actually enjoy, so it’s reminiscent of a lemon drop. We top it with some lemon foam, and then we put a shard of ice on top that comes from the planet Hoth.”

You might see Gaya and other characters float in and out of Sublight Lounge. There’s also a working holotable for fans of sabacc, one of the galaxy’s oldest and most popular card games (although this one is a bit different). Just remember... no cheating!



5. DRESS FOR THE ROLE YOU WANT.

An extensive merchandise collection for Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser enhances the role-play vacation experience, inviting you to further immerse yourself in a galaxy far, far away. The stunning Chandrila Collection boutique offers a wide assortment of apparel and accessories that guests can purchase and wear throughout their voyage.

“For Star Wars, shopping, retail, merchandise—that’s all part of the DNA of the franchise,” Brad Schoeneberg, VP of Brand Merchandising, says. “That goes back to 1977 and 1978 when Star Wars toys caused a worldwide frenzy. Since then, any time there’s a unique Star Wars experience, fans get very excited about the merchandise. For Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, it really came down to a few questions: If you’re going to have your own experience—if you’re going live your own story—what do you want to be? What character do you want to play? Where are you from? How do we enable that through our fashion? We focused heavily on our galactic fashion, thinking about every demo and every member of your family—what they want to be and what types of roles they want to play. We were inspired by all parts of the Star Wars galaxy.”



Passengers can dress the part with robes, tunics, and other authentic fashion apparel evoking Star Wars characters such as Padme Amidala, Leia Organa, and Alderaanian officials, among others. (We felt like royalty wearing the Senator Bail Organa Security Aide Jacket and Tunic.) Headwear helps guests transform into an alien species, with Twi’lek “lekku” head tails or the striped, horned montrals of a Togruta. Premium garments and accessories featuring the ship’s logo are also available in the boutique.

“When you look at the costumes, the roleplay, you’ll see things that were inspired by the films, such as Padme Amidala’s cape or Leia Organa’s security aide costume,” Schoenberg says. “These are all things we took right offscreen.” To ensure their authenticity, he says, “We went to the Skywalker Ranch, took the originals out, and matched the shaping and sizing details to reproduce them for the first time for fans.”

If you want to style yourself like one of the new characters you’ll meet onboard the Halcyon starcruiser, you’re in luck. “We saw these costumes coming together and thought, ‘Kids are definitely going to roleplay as these new characters,’” Schoeneberg tells D23. “And then there were things we just created, simply because we thought you might need them for the experience. Our little black dress comes from an image we received from the set of Canto Bight, when everyone wore very fancy apparel in the casino. This feels like a different side of Star Wars that we don’t normally get to see.”



Want to get outfitted before your voyage? Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser guests are eligible to purchase select merchandise on shopDisney.com up to 60 days prior to their reservation check-in date and up to 30 days after their check-out date. In order to purchase, the email address used to sign into shopDisney must also be linked to your Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser reservation. Based on current shipping times, it’s recommended that guests order at least two weeks prior to leaving for their vacation.

That’s not all! Merchandise offerings include a remote-control SK droid, a light-up model of the Halcyon starcruiser, and the Legacy Lightsaber Training Hilt and Legacy Reflective Shield, in addition to commemorative Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser items.

“If you visited the Sublight Lounge off the Atrium, some of the vessels used inspired some of our drinkware,” says Schoeneberg. “There’s a home goods collection that is inspired by some of the things you see as you’re going through the dining experience. We had a blast with the SK droid coming out as a strong character in the overall storyline, so we reproduced that in a Droid Depot scale, so it’s familiar to what we’ve done at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge with the droid building. Not only do we have an SK droid in that scale, but we offer SK as a wind-up and a collectible action figure.”



When you embark on your stay onboard the Halcyon starcruiser, will you join the Resistance or will you pledge your allegiance to the First Order? The choice is yours.

Dining Is Fully Immersive in Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser

One of the most remarkable moments during a Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser voyage is the dining experience you have onboard. I’ve been thinking about what made this so memorable for me, because it was something more than the amazing food.

And then I realized … dining onboard the Halcyon starcruiser engages all five of your senses, not just your taste buds, fulfilling the promise of surrounding you in a truly immersive Star Wars experience. Let’s break it down!



Taste

The chefs on the Halcyon starcuiser come from the far corners of the galaxy and bring their own special dishes to the fore. Whether it’s the Bantha Beef, Tip Yip Chicken, or the Seared Kashyyyk Whitefish from Chewbacca’s homeworld, this is an intergalactic tour de force of familiar tastes with new and unexpected textures.



Sight

The Crown of Corellia Dining Room onboard the starcruiser is a feast for the eyes. Here you dine beneath three large circular, multi-layered chandeliers complemented by a dazzling lighting display throughout the supper club. The lights go full-on concert mode when Gaya, the galactic superstar from the planet Ryloth, performs her biggest hits during the first night’s dinner. Then the next night the lighting changes colors to evoke the aesthetics of each course during a “Taste Around the Galaxy.”



Sound

Oh, did I mention Gaya? She is, in a word, stunning. The Twi’lek singer glides effortlessly past the tables as her powerful voice fills every nook and cranny of the room. If you listen closely, though, you may learn more about the galaxy – and why Gaya is on this ship to begin with.



Smell

I don’t know if I had an expectation for what dining in a galaxy far, far away is supposed to smell like … but this is it. Every meal brings its own tantalizing aroma that will have your mouth watering before you take the first bite.



Touch

The Sublight Lounge offers great nightcap options after a fantastic dinner, like the Hoth Ice Breaker pictured here. These drinks hit on multiple senses with exotic flavors and photo-worthy looks. But one thing that really sets them apart is the glassware, which just feels cool to hold. It’s a small detail, but so important when creating an immersive experience that makes you feel like you’ve traveled to another galaxy.

Wahoooo c'est super bien réalisé cette effet .

Ça a l’air super immersif! Je suis bluffé par le niveau de détails, l’expérience doit être géniale.

On dépasse le cadre de l'hôtel thématisé qui devient une attraction à part entière. Le fait d'avoir intégré le croiseur aux romans et comics permet une immersion plus aboutie dans la saga Star Wars.

Une expérience unique qui a un coût fort élevé et je me demande si le voyage sera aussi inoubliable pour tous car il faut une sacrée attendance pour que chacun puisse vivre des moments mémorables et toutes les animations proposées. A ce tarif chaque passager attendra une expérience sans attente et je n'ai pas l'impression qu'il y ait beaucoup de places pour chaque animation.

Je vais attendre les retours des visiteurs pour voir si je fais exploser mon budget WDW et il reste pour moi un écueil de taille, le côté claustrophobe de la chambre sans fenêtre à ouvrir.

Disney avait promis une expérience nouvelle (car cela n’a jamais été vendu comme un hôtel) et de ce que je vois, c’est réussi.

Le point faible que je vois, hors le tarif, est la possibilité de revivre l’expérience : ce qui est un peu contraire à toutes les attractions d’un Parc Disney.

Bref, pour le moment, je suis bluffé par cette expérience qui est quelque chose d’un niveau supérieur à tous les standards de l’industrie.

Oui et dans l'autre sens même si ça doit paraitre angoissant pour certains est-ce qu'on peut éteindre les petites lumières fx de la fenêtre ou fermer le fenêtre pour pouvoir dormir vraiment dans le noir ,il y a des gens qui n'arrive dormir que dans le noir complet .
Franchement si ,c'est vraiment le top ,ça doit faire vraiment bizarre de se sentir vraiment dans un vaisseau spatial complètement déconnecté de la terre ,j'espère qu'on ressent bien cette effet au bout de quelques heures et arrêter de ce dire qu'on est sur la terre a WDW dans hôtel .

Par conte la clim et l'aération n'ont pas le droit a l'erreur et tomber en panne .
