Disney announced today that the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser will take its final voyage on September 28, 2023. The announcement from Disney is as follows:
“The final voyage for Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser will The final voyage for Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser will take place Sept. 28-30, 2023.
Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser is one of our most creative projects ever and has been praised by our Guests and recognized for setting a new bar for innovation and immersive entertainment. This premium experience gave us the opportunity to try new things on a smaller scale of 100 rooms, and we will take what we’ve learned to create future experiences that can reach more of our Guests and fans.
We will be contacting Guests booked for voyages departing on or after Sept. 30 to discuss their options and modify their plans. To prioritize these Guests, we are pausing new bookings until May 26.
We are so proud of all of the Cast Members and Imagineers who brought Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser to life and look forward to delivering an excellent experience for Guests during the remaining voyages over the coming months.
This news is not entirely shocking. For the past several months Disney has been offering deep discounts on the Starcruiser voyages and had even scaled back on voyage dates.
The 2-day experience was a premium experience and outpriced the average guest. Even the DVC point value was too high for most owners.
It is a shame though; I would have liked to see Disney change the experience to draw back guests or perhaps provide a best price point before shutting down the project. In either event we know that tourism is down, and costs are going up so in the end this may be a very strategic move for Disney.
We never experienced the Starcruiser but may have to try to book a trip before its final voyage in September! If you are interested in trying to capture this once in a lifetime experience, contact me today – once bookings re-open I am happy to provide a free no obligation quote!
