The final voyage of the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser will be on September 28. Disney announced that the Starcruiser is closing permanently this September.
Disney’s statement on the matter reads:
“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.”
The announcement comes after many months of disappointing occupancy. Making its debut in 2022, to bookings at capacity, but recent operations only yielded enough guests to fill one dinner service.
Rumors have been circulating for some time that Disney was opting not to renew many entertainment Cast contracts. Recently, discounts were being offered to Disney Vacation Club members as well as Cast Members.
The Starcruiser won the TEA Thea Award for Outstanding Achievement in Grand Experience in 2022.
Surprised to hear that Disney will be closing the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Permanently this fall?
