"Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser is a revolutionary new 2-night experience where you are the hero. You and your group will embark on a first-of-its-kind Star Wars adventure that's your own. It's the most immersive Star Wars story ever created—one where you live a bespoke experience and journey further into a Star Wars adventure than you ever dreamed possible."

―Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser official website

Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser was a fully immersive hotel and roleplaying experience developed by The Walt Disney Company for Walt Disney World Resort. It was originally set to open in 2021 but moved to a 2022 opening.

The experience was set on a starship named Halcyon operated by Chandrila Star Line. The events of the story connected with the events of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge and therefore take place at the same time. In May 2023, Disney announced that Galactic Starcruiser would close on September 28, 2023.

Guests were able to experience a two-night adventure where they interacted with characters and become participants of in-universe activities. The hotel was connected to the nearby Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge area of Disney's Hollywood Studios.

On August 4, 2021, the hotel's website revealed sample pricing for a two-night stay in the hotel, beginning at $1,209.00 per guest per night. Pricing varied depending on dates booked, the number of guests in a cabin, and the type of cabin. Packages included the hotel stay, food and beverages, "immersive and interactive entertainment," and admission to Disney's Hollywood Studios and Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. The hotel featured three types of guest rooms: Standard Cabins, Galaxy Class Suites, and Grand Captain Suites.

On September 30, 2021 the Disney Parks Blog announced that general bookings for the hotel would open on October 28, with the hotel opening to guests on March 1, 2022. To promote the hotel, StarWars.com released a YouTube series in March 2022 called Dispatches from the Halcyon, which was hosted by the This Week! in Star Wars host Kristin Baver. On March 7, 2023 Disney announced that Galactic Starcruiser would reduce the number of voyages from three to two per week commencing October 2023, citing declining bookings.

On May 18, 2023 Disney announced that Galactic Starcruiser would close on September 28 of that year. Employees were notified of the decision that same day. Disney also contacted guests who had booked after the scheduled closing date to give them priority to switch to an earlier slot. New bookings for the remaining voyages were suspended until May 26. Despite speculation that the site might eventually be repurposed for another themed experience, it was later reported in January 2025 that the buildings that had housed the attraction would be converted into office spaces for Walt Disney Imagineering.
