How about taking a cruise... in space!

Disney have released even more details about their latest "hotel" that takes guests right into the Star Wars Galaxy.

You'll enter the Galactic Starcruiser Terminal where you will use launch pods to board the Halcyon starcruiser. All guests joining the two night itinerary will board the Halcyon at the same time, just as you would for any Disney Cruise. That's pretty much where the similarities end.

Get ready to enter the world of Star Wars as guests become "the heroes in their own Star wars stories". This cruise is as immersive as you can get. You'll talk to crew characters and go on your very own adventure. You'll get to learn how to use a lightsaber with specialist training, see the "galaxy and beyond through all the windows of the Halcyon and even visit the Bridge to learn about all the operations (including navigation and defence)".

Every decision you make whilst on board the Halcyon will change how your story progresses. So whether you choose to hang out with the characters in the Silver C Lounge or sneak into the Engineering Room, your experience on the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser will be completely unique to you.

Expected opening date: 2021
