On Thursday, we learned
the name and a few details about the highly anticipated Star Wars hotel. Today, Imagineer Ann Morrow Johnson took the Expo stage to walk us through the two-day, two-night itinerary guests will experience aboard Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser. Just like on a traditional cruise, guests will board the Halcyon, a glamorous starliner, along with all of the other passengers, and all will depart together. Every experience aboard the ship is part of one immersive Star Wars story that incorporates interaction with characters, crew, and other passengers throughout the experience.
The experience begins at check-in at the terminal. Guests enter a launch pod that blasts them into space. Once connected to the Halcyon, the doors will open and guests will emerge in the atrium. Cabins will offer constantly changings views into space from the windows. The ship will be teeming with Star Wars characters-some known, some unknown, and some feared. Like a regular cruise, the itinerary even features a port day, which will of course mean a visit to Black Spire Outpost on the planet of Batuu, otherwise known as Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at Disney Hollywood Studios.
Onboard activities include facing off with a training remote while wielding a lightsaber, visiting working portions of the ship like the bridge, and attending secret meetings in hidden spaces on the ship. An opening date wasn't given, but we hear bookings begin soon.
