When the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser was announced at the 2017 D23 Expo in Anaheim, California, Disney purported that, for the first time, fans of a galaxy far, far away could truly become part of the Star Wars story, even role-playing as their own Star Wars characters if they so choose.
Now, one TikTok user who got the opportunity to board the Halcyon in early January 2022 for a friends and family event has shared a complete price breakdown to help Disney Parks fans understand the seemingly wild price tag.
@dealing_in_absolutes shared that she believes “most of what the backlash comes from is the price because it’s astronomical” and that she, personally, was also frustrated with the cost before experiencing life on the Starcruiser for herself.
In the price breakdown, she noted that two of the meals are four- to five-course dinners that are on par with the $62 Be Our Guest prix fixe menu at Magic Kingdom Park. A caption also shared that, after she recorded the video, she confirmed that the Starcruiser meals in question are valued at $40 to $60 apiece.

Per the video, the final cost for “guaranteed experiences” for a single Halcyon passenger is:
Food (2×62) + (4×19) = $200
Room 1200 x 2 + $2,400
Park 27.25 + 19 + (2×15) = $76
Experiences 25 x 2 = $50
Total $2,726

Keep in mind that the actual prices for two passengers, three passengers, and four passengers are $4,809, $5,299, and $5,999, respectively. Therefore, when the single passenger value determined in this video is multiplied by two, the value of the Starcruiser for two people is actually $5,452 — this is significantly more than the actual price, interestingly enough.
It is important to note that Walt Disney World Resort has not released an official price breakdown for the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser experience. Additional details about booking your voyage can be found on the Star Wars hotel’s official webpage.

We do know, however, that the legendary Chewbacca, plus sequel trilogy characters Rey and Kylo Ren will be on board and Guests will take a port excursion to Batuu’s Black Spire Outpost — but Guests who don’t choose to cancel their stays will simply have to wait and see what else awaits them onboard now that the Halcyon has officially “blasted off” as of March 1, 2022.
