The new Star Wars hotel that’s currently being built near Disney’s Hollywood Studios finally has a name. Disney has announced that the new hotel will be called Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser and will feature a ship called the Halcyon.
Disney also revealed that guests will “board” the Halcyon for a two-night adventure where they will be an active participant in an immersive Star Wars story.
Below is the latest description of the experience via D23.com:
The all-new Star Wars vacation experience coming to the Walt Disney World Resort, Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, invites guests to embark on a two-night adventure aboard a glamorous starship. During this first-of-its-kind vacation experience, you’ll interact with characters and become an active participant in immersive stories that unfold over the course of an unforgettable galactic journey on board the starcruiser (to be called the Halcyon).
So far, Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser sounds like a cruise ship mixed with a murder mystery experience. Guests will “board” the ship during check-in before being transported into space to start their adventure.
Once on board, guests may be tasked with various activities around the ship and might even face the First Order in a memorable battle. Guests will also visit Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge via a special transport system that simulates taking a transport ship down from the Halcyon to the planet of Batuu.
While this experience promises to be unique, it also promises to carry a large cost. Rumors have suggested that the hotel may charge over $1,000 per night, per person, but that hasn’t been officially confirmed at this time.
Look for more details on Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser to be released in the near future.
