![]() And at thousands of dollars for the two-day experience, it’s an investment. This is probably not an experience for the casual fan. But there’s a lot of attention to detail to simulate the closest thing many of us will have to a cruise among the stars. So let’s be clear – no, you’re not really going to space. Guests seeking passage aboard the Halcyon should prepare for an action-packed, choose your own adventure-style excursion. My fellow travelers, however, definitely enjoyed fully immersing themselves by sporting both familiar and entirely original costumes. While I didn’t pack my Princess Leia hair buns and best senatorial gown, my space-themed dresses were a hit (and comfortable in the Florida heat). Halcyon passengers enjoy a meal and performance by Gaya in the Crown of Corellia Dining Room. And for Star Wars fans, it’s a chance to live out your own story, rather than simply following the trials and tribulations of beloved characters. The first of its kind, Galactic Starcruiser is an immersive two-night stay where guests can experience what it might be like to travel aboard a gleaming starship a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away. I participated this week in one of the Starcruiser’s first journeys (also known as a “media preview”). To call it a hotel would be uninspired and inaccurate – it’s a voyage. These are some of the sights and sounds for a passenger traveling aboard the Halcyon, the ship at the center of the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser resort experience, opening Tuesday, March 1, at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando. There’s a slight commotion in the corner as a group tries to smuggle Chewbacca off the ship – but the typically watchful stormtroopers seem equally distracted by Gaya’s performance so they fortunately don’t notice the towering fuzzball and his young helpers. The galactic superstar Gaya dazzles with her songs, capturing the attention of guests and First Order lieutenants alike while colorful alien-inspired cocktails are passed around. The gentle purr of the engine hums as planets, spaceships and asteroids pass by in the surrounding windows.
