On June 12-14, 2023 the Cimbura family took a two day journey into space on the Halcyon Starcruiser. Our departure began from Orlando, Florida. It was a pretty amazing experience including live interactive entertainment, out of this world food, sleeping accommodations, and a visit to the planet Batuu.
Our family dressed the part to fully immerse ourselves in the fun. Onboard we operated the Starcruiser on the bridge, visited the climate simulation room, interacted with our personal concierge droid, learned how to wield a light saber, used our communicators/data pads to guide our experience, danced with a singing superstar at dinner, and lived with many characters from another galaxy in a drama that unfolded around us.
As a bonus I shared some time with magicians David Copperfield and Chris Kenner who happened to be on the same voyage with their families. I also got to meet several Star Wars writers and podcasters.
Unfortunately, Disney has announced the experience is ending in September and all future voyages have been sold out. We will see how they reimagine it for the future. We were so inspired we built a Star Wars room in our Orlando vacation rental home.
Here are a few photos of our experience…
I have a ton of video that needs to be edited…but here are a few key fun moments of the experience.
