Complete List: Here’s What Happened to the Star Cruises Fleet

• March 15, 2023

With the sales of the SuperStar Aquarius and the SuperStar Gemini in late 2022, the entire Star Cruises fleet has had its fate sealed.

Here’s what happened to the ships operated by the cruise line before its collapse:

SuperStar Aquarius Year Built: 1993 Capacity: 1,529 guests Location: Alang, India Fate: Scrapped

In November, the SuperStar Aquarius became the latest cruise ship formerly owned by Star Cruises to be sold to a scrapyard.

Renamed Arius, the 1993-built vessel spent several months laid up in Sri Lanka before departing on its final voyage to India – where it’s currently being dismantled .

SuperStar Gemini Year Built: 1992 Capacity: 1,472 guests Location: Alang, India Fate: Scrapped

The former SuperStar Gemini also ended up beached for scrapping in November. Like its sister ship SuperStar Aquarius, the 1992-built vessel spent several months docked in Sri Lanka before heading to India.

Renamed Gem, the former Norwegian Dream is now being recycled at the Alang Shipbreaking Yard , with its building materials and fixtures being sold off or repurposed.

Star Pisces Year Built: 1991 Capacity: 1,384 guests Location: Alang, India Fate: Scrapped

In mid-2022, the Star Pisces became the second cruise ship of the former Star Cruises fleet to be sold to a scrapyard.

One of the company’s original vessels, the cruise ferry ended its 31-year sailing career after being beached at India’s Alang Ship Breaking Yard in July .

The Taipan Year Built: 1989 Capacity: 64 guests Location: Singapore Fate: Sold for further service

In May 2022, the Taipan became the only cruise ship in the former Star Cruises fleet to find a new operator.

Previously being used for charters and incentive cruises in Southeast Asia, the 32-cabin mega yacht was acquired by OM Ships , a German religious organization who plans to transform it into a missionary ship and floating bookshop.

SuperStar Libra Year Built: 1988 Capacity: 1,494 guests Location: Aliaga, Turkey Fate: Scrapped

The SuperStar Libra was also sold for scrapping in 2022. After ending its public operations in 2018, the former Star Cruises vessel arrived at the Aliaga Ship Breaking Yard in May .

Before ending its sailing career, the 1988-built cruise ship spent its last years serving as a floating hotel at the MV Werften – a Genting-owned shipyard in Wismar, Germany.

Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser: Prices, Rooms, Itineraries, and More

With Disney's Galactic Star Cruiser coming March 1, 2022, you might be wondering how this one of a kind experience will work.

Disney describes the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser as "like nothing else you’ve ever experienced: part live immersive theater, part themed environment, part culinary extravaganza, part real-life role-playing game—and yet so much more.

While your story unfolds, you’ll have the power to choose your path. Will you follow the rule of the First Order or join the Resistance in a secret plot? Strike a bargain with a gang of smugglers or sit back, sip a cocktail and watch it all from a safe distance?

The choice is yours as you step aboard the most immersive Star Wars story ever created—one where you live your own Star Wars adventure!"

Here you'll learn what's included, what room rates are, and how to plan for your out of this galaxy Star Wars cruise experience.

What Is The Galactic Starcruiser?

According to Disney, Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser is a revolutionary new 2-night experience where 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—live a bespoke experience and journey further into a Star Wars adventure than you ever dreamed possible.

Essentially this Star Wars experience is build like a cruise ship. Guests embark and disembark together on a 2 night journey.

What is Included?

Your Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser vacation package includes:

• 2-night stay in a cabin or suite
• Ongoing, immersive and interactive entertainment, where choices determine your experience
• Food and beverages on the starcruiser (excluding alcoholic and specialty beverages) and a quick-service meal at Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo or other select locations at Disney’s Hollywood Studios
• Admission to Disney’s Hollywood Studios for your planetary excursion to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
• Valet parking
• Exclusive Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser databand (known on your home planet as a MagicBand)

So essentially what makes this different is what is included with the price. You aren't just getting a room when you book the Starcruiser. You're also getting the included entertainment, food and drinks, free parking, a Magic band, and tickets to Hollywood Studios.

Starcruiser Cabins

The rooms on the Starcruiser aren't your typical resort room. Each room has a "view" of a galaxy far, far away. You'll see ships, planets, stars and other galactic sights float past your room.

It is important to note that this resort does NOT have a swimming pool.

Standard Cabin

Each Standard Cabin is fitted with furnishings and fixtures designed to ensure comfort while traveling throughout the galaxy—including a pullout table and a TV with entertainment from your home planet—and a window with a view out into space.

Specifications

• Sleeps: 4 to 5 passengers
• Room Configuration: queen bed, 2 berths (bunk beds) for one adult each and a wall pull-down bed for one adult (if sleeping 5)

Cabin Amenities

• Mini refrigerator
• In-cabin safe
• Phone with voicemail messaging
• Interactive TV
• H2O Plus® spa, bath and shower products

Galaxy Class Suite

One-bedroom Galaxy Class Suites feature a living space complete with an integrated seating area and have all the comforts of Standard Cabins plus a double vanity bathroom, bar area, 2 windows with views out into space and a few extra Star Wars surprises.

• Sleeps: 4 passengers
• Room Configuration: queen bed and 2 wall pull-down beds for one adult each

Grand Captain Suite

Two-bedroom Grand Captain’s Suites offer ample room for the whole family and feature a posh living space complete with an integrated seating area. They have all the comforts of Standard Cabins plus a main suite with a double vanity bathroom, a second bathroom with a single vanity, a bar area, 3 windows with views out into space and a few extra Star Wars surprises.

• Sleeps: 8 passengers
• Room Configuration: 2 queen beds, 2 berths (bunk beds) for one adult each and 2 wall pull-down beds for one adult each

Disney has released some sample rates to give an idea of what this experience will cost:

As you can see from the graphic from Disney's website, a 2 night voyage for 2 guests would cost a total of $4809, 3 guests would be $5299, and 4 guests would be $5999.

No rates were provided for the larger Captain Suite.

It's also important to note that the sample prices provided are for an "off-peak" time at Disney World. So if you are planning on visiting during the summer or winter holiday season, I'd expect these rates to be much higher.

On the first night of your adventure, the Crown of Corellia Dining Room transforms for dinner into an enticing table-service supper club with a special musical appearance by a galactic superstar. You’ll enjoy a special evening with distinctive dining and entertainment as you socialize with passengers and crew.

The second night, The Taste Around the Galaxy showcases courses inspired by the geography and environments of iconic destination planets throughout the galaxy. With the serving of each course, a brief introduction presents the name, inspiration and ingredients for the dishes. The meal includes group appetizers for the table, a choice of entrée and a specialty plated dessert.

You can indicate your preference for first or second dinner seating (based on availability) when you book your vacation package.

For an additional fee you can request to be seated at the Captain table in the center of the Crown of Corellia Dining Room

Breakfast and lunch are also available in the glamorous Crown of Corellia Dining Room. Help yourself to colorful fare from all over the galaxy—along with familiar favorites from your home planet.

Start your day with a unique off-planet breakfast of hot and cold small plates and a variety of beverages including juices, fresh brewed coffee and Bubo Wamba Family Farms blue milk.

During lunch, choose from a collection of small bites, like sandwiches, soups, mini flatbreads, assorted salads and sweets.

On the ship you'll find a lounge inspired by the Halcyon starcruiser's historic voyages throughout the galaxy.

Here you can sip a beverage and relax—perhaps while conspiring with a charming smuggler or playing a casual game of holo-sabacc.

Lightsaber Training

Wield a lightsaber and face off against a remote training device in this exclusive interactive activity that is far beyond anything you’ve experienced before. Put your skills to the test!

Guests must be at least 7 years of age to participate.

Bridge Training

Explore the working bridge of the legendary Halcyon starcruiser and learn how it functions from the crew during this hands-on experience. The crew will teach you how the navigation, power, defense and other critical systems keep the Halcyon starcruiser safe from unforeseen galactic entanglements. These skills may even come in handy should critical situations arise later in your voyage!

Planet Excursion to Batuu

Sample Itinerary

Is It Worth It?

It's hard to say if this experience will be worth the cost.

If you are a hard core Star Wars fan, knowing that this price includes not only the room, but also food and drinks, park tickets to Hollywood Studios, and entertainment, this could definitely be something worth spending money on.

I do wonder if discounts for Annual Passholders will be provided, since a free park ticket to Hollywood Studios is not an incentive.

I also question if families with younger kids would get their monies worth out of this type of experience.

We'll find out more and update this article when this experience opens in March of 2022!

Reservations open on October 28, 2021.

SUPERSTAR VIRGO: Cruise Guide for First-Timers (What to Expect)

WHAT'S COVERED IN THIS GUIDE?

Packing & Pre-Trip Preparations

• First things first, travel documents. If you’re joining the Manila-Laoag-Kaohsiung-Hong Kong cruise, no visas needed. You only need to bring your passport and a photocopy of its bio page.
• It’s a cruise so it wouldn’t hurt to dress up and achieve your #OOTD goals. We packed at least 2 sets of garments a day: one set of light clothes for touring, and another for the evening shows. Why two sets? It’s pretty cool inside the ship, but things change as soon as you get out of it. In our case, it’s the middle of April! Onboard, I’m clad in shorts and a t-shirt with a polo on top of it. But as soon as we go outside, I had to remove the polo because it would get too hot especially on Ilocos and Kaohsiung stops. Hong Kong was a different story. It rained so hard for a brief moment. Takeaway: check the weather in every stop and prepare accordingly.
• The rooms are also equipped with slip-on sandals, bath robes, and toiletries. You will also be provided a see-through plastic pouch wherein you can put your passport and access card (which I will explain later).
• Remember: Each passenger is allowed only one piece of check-in luggage free-of-charge. Anything more will incur additional fees.
• For the Manila season, the default currency is the Hong Kong Dollar (HKD).

• In many ways, the process is similar to that at the airport. You still need valid travel documents, check in your baggage, and pass through an immigration inspection and security checks before boarding.
• You will be given a mag card (access card). DO NOT LOSE IT. It’s the most important item as soon as you step into the ship. It serves as your keycard to your cabin and credit card when purchasing something or dining at specialty restaurants. You will also need this when disembarking to explore the ports and when returning to the ship.
• You will need to surrender your passport upon boarding. You’ll have it back after the journey.

Safety Drill

As soon as everyone is settled, there will be a safety drill that you are required to participate in. It is extremely important that you are familiar with the ship’s geography and the directions you need to take in case of an emergency.

In Manila, the drill happens right before sunset, so as soon as it’s over, head straight to Deck 12 to have a better view. We’ve been to a lot of places around the world, but Manila offers some of the most spectacular sunsets.

Do it at every stop. Nothing is more relaxing that just watching the sun call it a day.

3 Inclusive Restaurants

“Inclusive,” meaning you can dine here free-of-charge. It’s part of what you paid for. Onboard the Virgo, there are three inclusive dining options:

• Mediterranean Buffet . The most popular, located on Deck 12, just behind the Parthenon Pool. Serves breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner, and supper. No reservations needed.
• Genting Palace . Western and Chinese cuisines. Serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. This is also where the Gala Dinner takes place. Although it is inclusive, reservation is required.
• The Pavilion Room . Family-style restaurant. In my opinion, of the three, this is the best. Serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Reservations required.

Both Genting Palace and the Pavilion offer full-course meals (appetizer, soup, main course, dessert). Drinks will be charged to your room.

Aside from these, there are specialty dining options! There’s the Taj offering Indian favorites, and Samurai serving delectable Japanese cuisine. Samurai have us our best gastronomic experience onboard. From the salmon and yellowtail (hamachi) sashimi as appetizer to teppanyaki as main course and matcha ice cream as dessert, that meal was scrumptious from start to finish.

Shore Excursions (Shorex)

This is the part where you can get off the ship and explore the city where it is docked.

In our case, it has three stops: Laoag, Kaohsiung, and Hong Kong. At every stop, they offer various pre-arranged tours called Shorex (shore excursions). For example, in Laoag, you have a choice among Laoag City Tour, Paoay Sand Dunes, Vigan Heritage Tour, and a couple more.

Other routes will have their own shorex offers, of course.

You can book a pre-arranged tour or do it on your own (DIY). It’s completely up to you.

• If you book a shorex , you will be joining the rest of the cruise passengers who booked that tour. The great thing about it is that you have everything taken care of for you. You will have a tour guide and a few members of the crew will join the group. They will make sure you’re back at the port in time for sailing. Meals are also often included.
• If you pull a DIY , you have complete control of your time and it’s going to be cheaper. However, make sure you’re back by the prescribed time because the ship will NOT wait for you.

Either way, you will be given a small sheet of paper upon disembarkation. READ IT, UNDERSTAND IT, KEEP IT. It will tell you what time you have to be back. It changes per stop. The boarding deadline in Taiwan is different from that in Hong Kong.

Room and Amenities

There are four types of accommodations onboard, from the cheapest to the fanciest: Inside Room, Ocean View Room, Balcony Room, and Suite. On our first time, we stayed in an Inside Room; this time in a Balcony Room. In both occasions, the room was always regularly maintained, with multiple cleanups within the day. Complimentary bottles of water also replenish every day.

If you have enough budget for an Inside Room, go for it. Don’t drop the idea of cruising just because you can’t afford the best rooms. In my experience, we spent most of our time outside the room — going on shore excursions, pigging out at the restaurants, and exploring other amenities.

Speaking of amenities, here are some that you can enjoy for FREE:

• Gym . We packed gym clothes but we failed to use them because we would already average 15,000 steps per day just by joining the shore excursions.
• Pool . Located on Deck 12.
• Casino . In case you’re interested. Deck 7.

There’s also Duty Free shops on Decks 7 and 8, and a small store selling chips, chocolates, and biscuits (including Filipino products) on Deck 12 just next to the bar.

Spend your evenings watching a show at the Lido Theater. Some of these performances can be enjoyed for free, while others incur additional charges, including the for-adults-only show.

Gala Night and Dinner

Happens on the fifth night. It’s an event that begins with a cocktail party at the Grand Piazza on Deck 7, where the captain introduces the senior members of the crew. There are also musical performances. Overflowing wine! Loved it!

At around 6pm, enjoy a full-course dinner at the Genting Palace as a pianist serenades you with the endless ocean in the background.

If you intend to join this, make sure you’re dressed for the occasion. Dress Code: Elegant Casual. No shorts and no open toed footwear. For guys, prepare a collared shirt or blazer.

We know how important it is to you so we created a separate section for it.

Every passenger is given 1-hour complimentary internet access. If you need more, you’re gonna have to purchase a plan.

• 24 hrs: HKS 116
• 24 hrs (Social plan): HKD 54
• Whole Cruise: HKD 505

Remember: you’re in the middle of the ocean, sharing the connection with the rest of the ship, so don’t expect lightning speeds, but it’s good enough for browsing, checking emails, social media, and even watching YouTube videos.

What we love the most about the Superstar Virgo is that it feels like home because of the staff. There are a lot of Filipinos working onboard: from the reception to the restaurants to the room services. I’m pretty sure there are more in the non-guest-facing departments, too. And it’s always wonderful to get to talk with them. They are proud of their work!

The rest of the crew is warm, friendly, and always willing to help. You don’t even need to ask for assistance. If they see you looking like you need something (info, direction, whatever), they will be the first to approach you with a smile.

Checking Out

• On the day before you arrive in Manila, you will be requested to proceed to Deck 12 for a health check. You will just be filling out a form and pass by a thermal imager.
• Pack your stuff before hitting the sack on your last night because they will collect your check-in baggage early in the morning of your last day. You can leave the bag or suitcase outside your door and someone will pick it up.
• Don’t forget to settle the bill before disembarking. Know that a gratuity of HKD110 PER NIGHT is charged to every guest (except infants below 2yo). HKD120 per guest staying in a suite.

I believe I’ve covered everything! Overall, it was a fantastic experience. Vins and I were kind of bummed that the Manila season would only last until May 28 because we wanted to do it again with our parents! Here’s hoping they’d return to the Philippines next year!

We will be going this Monday. Availed the Seniors Sale which is a good price, I think. I just don’t like the fine print on the 100HKD fee. I’m thinking of passing up on the final Gala night, as I don’t plan on bringing along shoes and formal wear.. still thinking if we should check it out..

Doesn’t need to be formal. Just make sure your shirt has collar. And closed shoes. :D The food is somewhat similar to the usual Genting Palace menu though. :) I was just there for the free wine. Haha

How about for women? Can’t we wear elegant open toed sandals? Thanks. Great article, by the way, very helpful!

Hi! I messaged my contact sa StarCruises and yep, okay lang daw. :)

[…] For further reading check out this very informative blogpost by The Poor Traveler: SuperStar Virgo in Manila: Cruise Guide (What to Expect) […]

Hi, kindly share the exact ports where you docked in Ilocos Norte, Taiwan and Hongkong. Thank you :)

Thank you so much for the detailed (and helpful) information!

Do you have a package rate for 5 people? One of the 5 would be a senior citizen, is there a special rate for senior citizens?

Hi! Please visit Star Cruises website for the latest promos. Also, they’re not doing the Kaohsiung-HongKong route this year. They’re doing Keelung-Okinawa. :)

hi maam can we chat on facebook? about the package of the cruise. add me ZEITEH AINAH DE ARCE

Is there a weight limit for the checked in luggage? How about hand carry luggage is it the same as in an airplane?thanks

hi! nice article and very helpful. i have the same question, do they have specific weight and measurement on the luggage? will it matter if a passenger brings in a small or big luggage as long as it’s 1 pc or is there a specified weight on the luggage to be taken in for free?

Hi Virgie, there was no indicated weight limit for our trip. Only the number of luggage. However, things might have changed this year, so let me get back to you on this. I’ll ask someone from Star Cruises. :)

Thanks for the infos. Will be cruising for the first time with the parentals. And were excited. Your blog is so helpful. Thanks again

No problem! Enjoy the cruise! :)

Hi, did you ever find the rates for wifi? Thank you!

Hi Kristine, I wasn’t able to find the rates for last year’s cruise. Apparently the rates have changed for this year. It’s now:

24 hrs – hkd 116 24 hrs (Social plan) – hkd 54 Whole Cruise – hkd 505

Hi. Do you know if they will have a cruise for July?

Hi Cielo, you can check on their website: starcruises.com :)

What time is the best time to arrive at Manila port if the boat will leave at 5pm? Is there a check in and boarding time? Thanks for the useful information!

Hi Archie, check in time is from 1pm – 3:30pm. :)

Hi! Ur blog is superrr helpful.. id like to ask Lang for the gala night, does it rally require evening gown?? We’re coming to the cruise this march Thankssss

Di naman kelangan evening gown. :)

Hi! We’ll be traveling next month. I just want to ask how/where do we reserve seats in restaurants like Genting Palace and Pavilion? Thank you!

P.S. Does anyone know pano mode of transpo pag DIY trip sa Keelung and Ishigaki? Like malayo ba port sa city center and kung may mga taxis na near the ship?

Re Genting Palace and Pavilion, we just called the lobby/reception when we were there na.

Hi thanks for the infos. May I ask how much is the fee for the gala night? And is it buffet or fine dining? Thanks

Fine dining. If I remember correctly, included na yan sa binayaran.

Thank you for this! it makes me excited to avail there cruise. May I know what other charges I should expect that is not included in buying the ticket online? One that you mentioned is the gratuity, but I also read that there are port charges and others but doesn’t have a figure so I cannot calculate the estimated budget :)

Did you pay anything else?

In our experience, yung gratuity lang and ung wi-fi. :)

Hi , This was very helpful. Regarding the gratuity, your blog says 100hkd which is much cheaper from what ive read from other blogs…. Other blogs said it was 500hkd…. Which is very expensive na… We will be travelling next month june 3 to 10. Can you help me in assuring how much really is the gratuity this year so that we can prepare…mahirap na kasi baka ma overspend kami sa pag labas namin sa hk and taiwan . Thank you so much and God bless you. Your blog really helped me naking our IT

Hi Shine, I just reached out to Star Cruises, and they said that the gratuity is now HKD 110 per night. (Last year, 100 lang.)

I think the confusion is kasi PER NIGHT ung HKD 110. So if 5 nights, that’s HKD550 for the whole trip.

We’ll update this post na rin. :)

My fave travel blog site since forever! :)

For the shorex, which do you recommend, pre-arranged tour o DIY lang? We’ll be boarding this coming weekend na… :)

Thanks much!

DIY na lang, bes! Basta make sure makabalik kayo on time. :)

This is such a very good and helpful post! :) I’m planning to treat my senior citizen parents for a trip like this but i really don’t have any idea if magkano magagastos? Would you be so kind to give me a range so alam ko kung ilan dapat ipunin ko :D and panu inaavail ung birthday promo in case? plan ko i-book sa birth month ng papa ko kase.

Thank you so much!

Hard to tell kasi ung na-experience namin ay ibang route (Taiwan-Hong Kong). Iba na yung routes ngayon.

You can do a mock booking sa Star Cruises website. On board, wala namang gastos na except ung gratuities and wifi, unless kakain kayo sa mga hindi free na restaurants.

Hi. thank you for the info. it is of big help for first timers. may mga ilang questions lang ako, sana macover mo lahat. thank you in advance…

1. iba ba yun check-in luggage sa hand carry na maleta style din? kasi sa plane, usually, bukod sa check-in luggage eh allowed na magdala ng hand carry ang passenger provided na susunod sa sukat na itinalaga. or pareho lang sila? plan kasi namin na magdala ng 1 big check in luggage and 1 smaller hand carry luggage for each fam member..

2. dapat bang colored ang pa-print mo ng bio page ng passport o ok na ang clear copy na b&w?

3. halimbawa, gusto namin lagi mag dine sa genting or pavilion.. need ba magpa reserve in advance for the whole 5 nights or pa reserve na lang each morning? buffet ba sa mediterranean o set meal din like sa genting and pavilion?

4. should we still give tips (in hkd or php?) despite the gratuities?

5. even after having dined at genting or pavilion, can one still eat at mediterranean? in cases na, di maciadong nabusog or kung naging picky yung kid ko at di kinain yun food nya…

6. you mentioned, Every passenger is given 1-hour complimentary internet access… each day or for the whole stay?

7. me free maps ba na ibibigay sa ship ng mga ports na pupuntahan?

8. keri lang ba na bumalik agad sa barko pag short lang yun DIY na lakwatsa sa mga ports?

sowi kung sobrang daming tanong…ganun ka-ecited. hehe! super thank you in advance!

1. Let me get back to you on that. I’ll ask Star Cruises. Ako kasi ay isang maleta and isang backpack. Yung backpack as carry on, hinayaan naman. Di ko alam kapag maleta.

2. Oks lang B&W.

3. No idea if pwede mo ipareserve 5 straight nights. Yep, buffet sa mediterranean.

4. no need na.

5. Hmmm, not sure. Kasi when you enter a restaurant, they get your card to record that you have eaten there. Not sure if kapag nakakain ka na sa isa, pwede pa sa kabila.

6. whole stay.

7. wala sa amin.

thank you so much! hoping to bump into you in one of our travels. =)

Hi i would like to ask how did u pay for ur booking? Wla daw kasi cash payment online debit or credit card, is it safe? Thank u

It’s safe.

Very little info on SSVirgo here in Australia so would appreciate your help. 1. Do they offer a drinks package on 5nt ex Manila and cost? 2. Do they have set dinner times, e.g. 6pm and 8pm or is it anytime dining and how do you make reservations? 3. Would very much like to attend the Gala Dinner. How do I book for this?. Many thanks.

1. I reached out to Star Cruises and they said that special offers such as drink, tour, or shopping packages are sometimes offered onboard or via shop.starcruises.com. I wasn’t able to get the costs though.

2. You can make reservations onboard, maybe on your first day. Just visit the restaurant you want to book. Or if you booked via agency, you can course it through them too. There are at least 3-4 hour specific dining times (breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner, supper) for each restaurant. Dinner is from 6pm-9pm.

3. Upon embarking, you can go straight to the restaurant that you want to book and reserve. The gala dinner happens at all key restaurants onboard and each has its own gala dinner menu. But the best for the occasion, I think, is Genting Palace. The program happens at the Grand Piazza on Deck 7.

just take hold of the Star Navigator…it will take you to the whole ship’s entertainment..and restaurant’s schedule…it is give in your doorstep just before retiring…enjoy the most of your stay…tour and tour around..it will get you there

no limit as to baggage if you embark or disembark in MaNILA…I mean balikan..

Is it correct that if you dine in the restaurant you cannot then go up to the buffet for a bit more? Other lines have no such restriction but I have read that you will be charged on SuperStar Virgo.

Hi John, yes, that’s true. Years ago, there was no such restriction. But when we cruised again last year, they have started swiping the card when entering a dining establishment to check if you’ve had your meal elsewhere for that dining period. The good news is, there are a lot of dining periods in a day: breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner, supper. So you just have to wait a bit more and you’ll be able to enter the buffet area again.

Hi may i know the ideal deck if we will be travelling with our 7 year-old son? What about for the senior citizens?

Hi Caleb, i think the deck hardly matters because there are several elevators naman. What’s more important if you have seniors is your distance from the elevators. For example, kami, yung room na naassign na amin was a bit far from the elevators so mahabang lakad every time we go out. According to Star Cruises, when you book with an agent, you can request for a room na closer to the elevators. :)

Do you know if there are any restrictions on bringing our own food like bread or chips, fruit? Just for snacking in our room. Thanks!

Hi Christie, okay lang daw basta hindi alcohol.

I would like to seek your help i was booked and paid for a cruise for superstar virgo going to vietnam dec 24 -29 2018 my problem my passport is 6 months valid which is a problem i really dont know what happened on the process and booking stage i already send a copy of my passport before booking but now im having a problem on the validity of my passport staff of star cruise should counter double check everything before booking its a hassle for me! Hotline staff investigate on the matter it should be urgently but until now no reply yet

Hi Vicencio, medyo di ko po naintindihan yung problem. Nagbook po kayo pero less than 6 months na lang ung passport validity? Saan po kayo nagbook? Online or via travel agency?

Hi, If you missed ba iyong online shore excursion nila, will they offer on board shore excursion? Wala na kasi when I check 3 days before. Were l eaving on the 24th. Thanks

Hi Shirley, ang alam ko pwede pa ring magbook onboard, pero di ko sure. :)

Hi, We are considering Superstar Virgo/Explorer Dream around New Zealand Dec 2019. We do not have gratuities in our country, is it compulsory on this ship? We are a “no smoking” country, can we get inside cabins that do not smell of smoke? In other revues it says ship does not cater for ‘westerners’, now wondering if we should go on the ship.

Hi po.. First time mag-c-cruise.. Magkano po ba lahat2(pati offshore ex. Di po DIY) ng gastos po pra makaprepare kami.. Balak ko kc cruise for honeymoon.

Hello po. So you have a guude for planning a cruise ship tour around Europe? Thanks

How much that is cost per person?do we need to pay advance before the cruise start?

Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Complete Guide

by Dan Leonard Dec 29, 2022

Complete Guide to Star Wars:Galactic Starcruiser

With its first cruise launching in March, 2022, the Star Wars:Galactic Starcruiser is Walt Disney World Resort’s newest and most advanced example of Disney storytelling brought to life. Guests have the opportunity to go beyond just watching the action unfold- they become characters in an all new Star Wars adventure, where everyone has the chance to be the hero (or villain, if that’s more your speed). This guide will give you all the (spoiler free) information you need to set sail on your own galactic adventure!

What is this Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser thing, anyhow?

Not just a hotel.

One of the most difficult things to understand for people who haven’t experienced the Starcruiser for themselves is what exactly is this experience all about? It’s unfortunate that most news stories and bloggers have been calling it the “Star Wars hotel” since it opened. The experience is so much deeper than just a themed hotel. A trip on the Galactic Starcruiser is like a 2-night murder mystery dinner party with Hollywood level production values, mixed with a live action choose-your-own-adventure book, wrapped up in a fully immersive atmosphere that allows guests to live in the Star Wars universe.

A Cruise Through The Galaxy

It’s also a legit cruise. Whether the ship actually goes anywhere is up to your imagination. It has all the makings of a cruise in outer space. Guests arrive and are escorted to their staterooms. A muster drill is required during the first day. There is fabulous gourmet food at dinner, and delicious buffets for breakfast and lunch. Galaxy class entertainment and a wide range of shipboard entertainment and activities are arranged by the ship’s cruise director. The ship makes a port call (in this case to Blackspire Outpost on the planet Batuu), where guests can take part in shore excursions.

The experience of cruising on the Halcyon isn’t only for dedicated Star Wars fans. Whether you’re well versed in the lore of our favorite galaxy far, far away, or have a hard time telling a lightsaber from a Wookiee, the Galactic Starcruiser is an amazing opportunity to experience immersive storytelling on a level that’s unavailable anywhere else.

Things to know before you go

A little preparation can go a long way to having the best possible experience onboard the ship. Here are some important things to know about preparing  for your trip.

Booking and add-ons

While the Star Wars:Galactic Starcruiser experience can be booked directly through Disney, we strongly recommend getting help with the booking from your trusted Key to the World Travel Advisor. There are lots of little details and extra experiences that can be added on to your cruise. Your travel advisor not only knows how and when to make those reservations, but is also happy to spend the time on the phone to get them booked for you.

Extra experiences that must be booked in advance include:

• Captain’s Table:  Sit at the Captain’s Table to make dinner at the Crown of Corellian Dining Room even more memorable. Guests sit in a prime location in the center of the dining room for the best view of the entertainment. Also includes extra courses during meals that are only offered at the Captain’s Table, and a chance to dine and interact with Captain Keevan. Price: $50/person for one seating.
• Chandrilla Star Lines Portrait Experience: Half hour private photo shoot with professional posing and lighting, captured by specially trained Cast Members. Photographers work with you to determine the types of photos you’d like taken, and find the best locations around the ship to help you look and feel like true inhabitants of the Star Wars universe. Price: $399/session.
• Image Design Makeup Session: “Image Designers” come to your cabin onboard the Halcyon and create a custom face paint design to help transform you into your chosen alien species for your cruise. They’re able to ensure that your face paint design is “Batuu Approved” so you look your best during your excursion to Black Spire Outpost. Price:$134.52 (includes gratuities)
• Activities on Batuu: Your Key to the World Travel advisor can help you make advance reservations for all the activities on your shore excursion to Black Spire Outpost on Batuu, including building a lightsaber at Savi’s Workshop , designing a BB or R2 series droid at the Droid Depot , or reserving a table for drinks and snacks at Oga’s Cantina .

Who are you, and what do you look like?

This is where the fun really begins. Guests aren’t just allowed, but encouraged to dress the part! Costumes onboard the Star Wars:Galactic Starcruiser don’t have to be elaborate or screen quality. With a little thought and some time scrolling through your favorite online shopping site, you can easily put together a convincing “in universe” look for the cruise.

Name and planet of origin

First, spend a little time thinking about your character, and what path you’d like to follow during the cruise. This can help influence your “look”. Made up character names aren’t necessary, but can be fun and help you feel more connected to the story.  Crew members will ask you where you’re from. Feel free to pick a planet from a Star Wars movie, tell them what city you live in, or make up a new home planet for yourself. No matter what you say, the crew members will play along accordingly.

Clothes make the character

The type of character you want to portray can influence your outfits.

• Are you a Force sensitive student of the path of the Jedi? Light colored tunics and brown robes or cloaks fit the look. For a more subtle Force user look, consider emulating the Saja. The Saja are students and teachers of the ways of the Force and lightsaber combat about the ship. They dress in natural fibers, primarily dark blue with red accents. Look for accessories made of wood, stone, and other materials from nature.
• Resistance sympathizers often dress in a paramilitary style, with lots of flight suits and tactical gear. You can also emulate Han Solo, Poe Dameron, Rey, or your favorite resistance fighter. Vests, scarves and fingerless gloves are popular accessories for this bunch. Please note that blasters and other weapons (with the exception of lightsabers) are not allowed on board the Galactic Starcruiser. However, a very popular and useful accessory is a “drop hip bag”-a belt pouch that straps around the thigh and resembles a blaster holster.
• Are you more of a rogue or smuggler type? Imagine what a space pirate would look like, and run with it! Flamboyant jackets, scarves, flowing “pirate” tunics, and lots of flair help you fit the role.
• If you feel like letting your dark side out, or are a First Order sympathizer,  pack plenty of black! Sleek, futuristic clothes in black or grey, with deep red accents are the perfect fit for this character type.
• It can also be fun to let your imagine run wild. Want to be a member of an alien species? Watch some movies or check out some books, and go for it! Have a favorite character that speaks to you? Put together your best take on their signature look. There are plenty of resources online, including websites and Facebook costuming groups dedicated to the Galactic Starcruiser experience. Star Wars Visual Dictionary books are easy to find at your local library, and are great resources for costume ideas also.

Don’t forget, these are just recommendations. Use your imagination, and make your character look the way you want. Or don’t- costumes aren’t required, but definitely help to immerse you in the experience!

How much to pack for the Star Wars:Galactic Starcruiser experience

One question many guests have is just how much to pack for the cruise. The journey is 2 nights/1.5 days. The waking hours during the experience can get very busy, so a multitude of costume changes aren’t recommended. Of course, if you’re an expert at the quick change and want to go all out, feel free.

• One to two looks can be perfect for your cruise. It’s a good idea to include visual elements that carry from one outfit to another, to help crew members recognize you if they need your help later in the trip. Don’t forget that Batuu has three suns, and your visit to the planet can be very warm-plan accordingly. You might want a fresh set of clothes after you return from the planet in case you get sweaty.
• Even though both dinners during the cruise are extravagant affairs, formal dress isn’t required (although certainly welcome if you want to get fancy).
• Comfortable shoes are a must-you spend a lot of time on your feet. For a relaxing cruise, things can get very busy and hectic, especially if the First Order decides to make an unscheduled appearance during your sailing.
• What to expect on board the Star Wars:Galactic Starcruiser, and how to play the game
• Make sure everyone in your party has a smart phone or device capable of installing apps and connecting to WiFi and Bluetooth. You’ll need this to receive communications from crew members, check your schedule, and complete various tasks around the ship. Old cellphones work great for younglings. If you don’t have a device for kids in your group, ask at the ship services counter in the atrium of the ship. They have loaner devices and can help you get set up.
• Along with devices, each member of your party needs to have an account for the Play Disney Parks app. This app turns into the “datapad” which is the main tool for “playing” the game.

What to expect onboard the Star Wars:Galactic Starcruiser, and playing the “game”

The crew of the Star Cruiser do a great job of making sure everyone has the best experience possible. They subtly guide you through the cruise, and are always available to help if you run into technical difficulties.

Getting on and getting acclimated

Boarding the ship starts at 1 P.M., but you can arrive up to 2 hours early to navigate the parking line, check in, and line up to board. If you drive yourself, complimentary valet parking is required. Guests can also arrive by taxi or ride share.

Pro Tip! If you’re staying at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel prior to boarding the Star Wars:Galactic Starcruiser, make sure the front desk is aware of your cruise, and they’ll give you late checkout for embarkation day so you can stay in your room and prepare for boarding without rushing. The front desk can also arrange for complimentary transportation from your hotel to the starport where you board the Halcyon.

Once you’ve checked in, received your Em-bands (outer space magic bands), and cleared the bag check, you’ll take a transport shuttle up to the Halcyon. Crew members will greet you in the atrium, give you a brief tour of the ship, and take you to your stateroom.

Once settled in, make sure to keep an eye on the schedule in your Datapad. This will alert you to events such as the muster drill and Captain’s welcoming toast, as well as scheduled activities such as your bridge operations training session and lightsaber combat training.

Activities Onboard the Star Wars:Galactic Starcruiser

During free time, feel free to explore all public areas of the ship. Make sure you push buttons, scan your Em-band, and poke around. You might unlock secrets that help draw you into the story of your cruise. Talk to crew members and characters you meet on board.This is one of the key ways you receive tasks and move through story lines during your cruise.

Pro Tip! On day 2, your scheduled shuttle departure time for Batuu is more of a guideline than a strict rule. It’s a good idea to arrive at the shuttle bay earlier to catch one of the first transports out. This will help you get everything done before the heat of Batuu’s 3 suns reaches its peak, and allow you to spend plenty of time onboard the ship in the afternoon.

Food and drink on board the Star Wars:Galactic Starcruiser

There are many great options for dining and drinking around the galaxy. The best part is all food and most non-alcoholic drinks are included in your fare, so you can enjoy as much as you like without worrying about picking up the check!

• For breakfast and lunch, visit the Crown of Corellia for an intergalactic buffet with familiar but reimagined foods that are really from a different world. Note, the menu for these buffets is different each day, so don’t miss out on the opportunity to stop in as often as possible!

• Dinner each night in the Crown of Corellia dining room is a fantastic experience, with food that you really can’t get anywhere else. Try everything and be open to new things. Dinners are served family style, and if you want more of anything just let your server know. Also, feel free to order items off the younglings menu if you wish in addition to the main meal.

• Food is available in the late afternoon in the Sublight Lounge, and is included in your fare. Take advantage of the variety of snacks, they’re amazing. The smoked cheese plate is a highlight!

• The ship services counter has a rotating selection of snacks available throughout the day. The atrium also has a water station for refilling your stateroom’s water flask with still or sparkling water.
• Guests receive a voucher for a meal and beverage at Docking Bay 7 during your shore excursion to Batuu. This voucher can be saved and used at any theme park quick service location on disembarkation day if you prefer.  Pro Tip! Unless you’ve never visited Batuu and really want to try the food offered at Docking Bay 7, we recommend you skip lunch on planet. The variety of food in the Crown of Corellia dining room for lunch day 2 is phenomenal and not to be missed!

• If you need a break from the action, head to your stateroom and check in with D3-09, the in room droid. She’ll frequently have messages for you on the comms center in your room, and will occasionally have tasks for you to help with. If she offers to tell you a bedtime story the first night, make sure to accept!

• If a strange child approaches you in a public area of the ship and asks for help with a task, don’t be alarmed. It’s part of the story, so play along.
• Talk to lots of people! Make friends with fellow passengers and crew members. Heavy roleplaying isn’t necessary, but it is important to play along. You get out of the experience what you put into it.
• Push buttons, open doors, try to hack into computers that claim to be for crew access only. Even if nothing happens right away, it may unlock story elements later on.

Windstar's newest cruise ships - Star Seeker & Star Explorer

Windstar Cruises unveils plans to broaden its fleet with the introduction of two all-suite superyachts - Star Seeker and Star Explorer.

The initial vessel, Star Seeker, currently under construction at WestSEA shipyard (in  Viana do Castelo )  is slated for delivery in December 2025, followed by Star Explorer in December 2026.

Each ship boasts 112 staterooms, all with private step-out balconies and infinity windows. Additionally, two aft-facing Owner’s Suites with wraparound terraces, providing ideal settings for evening gatherings or private dining.

With a max passenger capacity 224 and staff-to-guest ratio of 1:2, the yachts cultivate an intimate ambiance, promising personalized service throughout.

Guests can indulge in several Windstar guest favorites, including the iconic Watersports Platform with new staircase access, the inviting Yacht Club cafe and lounge, a two-story spa and fitness center, a secluded forward whirlpool on the bow, and an expansive open deck perfect for sunbathing and al fresco dining.

As the designated Cruise Line of the James Beard Foundation (JBF), Windstar maintains a dedication to exceptional cuisine. The redesigned main dining venue, Amphora, offers a range of upscale and innovative dishes, including rotating selections from James Beard Foundation–affiliated guest chefs. Al fresco dining options are available at both Amphora and the Star Grill, complemented by a specialty restaurant and 24-hour room service.

Star Seeker and Star Explorer feature ice-strengthened hulls, granting access to new destinations. Equipped with cutting-edge safety , propulsion , and navigation technology, including pump jet thrusters and forward-facing Sonar, the ships prioritize safety and efficiency. To minimize environmental impact and uphold sustainability commitments, the vessels are outfitted with tier III Nox-rated Rolls Royce engines and shore power connectivity to reduce port emissions. Advanced wastewater treatment systems meet global standards, demonstrating the company’s dedication to environmental stewardship.

The fleet expansion enables Windstar to reintroduce the beloved Wind Class ship, Wind Star , to Tahiti, where it will join Star Breeze in 2027, meeting the rising demand for French Polynesian voyages. With over 36 years of experience navigating the islands of French Polynesia, Windstar offers travelers a choice between sailing aboard Wind or Star Class ships.

The unmissable addition to Disneyland’s Star Tours ride? Space whales

• Show more sharing options
• Copy Link URL Copied!

Disneyland’s Star Tours: The Adventures Continue has proved to be one of the theme park’s most versatile attractions.

Though perhaps no longer the groundbreaking technological marvel that it was when it debuted in 1987, the flight simulator ride has shifted with the franchise, withstanding cultural trends and aligning with whichever version of “Star Wars” is popular at the moment — or in need of a marketing boost.

The latest update to Star Tours brings the ride into the Disney+ era, with nods to series such as “The Mandalorian,” “Ahsoka” and “Andor.” More noteworthy, at least for Disneyland guests, is that the centerpiece of the latest upgrades is a scene that provides a slight tonal shift for the attraction, one focused, albeit briefly, on slowing down and giving so-called starspeeder riders a look at one of “Star Wars’” more majestic creatures. Star Tours will now rocket guests straight to a moment that boasts a close-up with the purrgil, essentially large, mysterious space whales that move with a galactic grace.

Travel & Experiences

Want to see Disneyland’s most advanced animatronics? Visit Tiana’s Bayou Adventure

With new droids at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge and some of the most lifelike characters ever created at Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, Disney is looking to wow guests.

April 4, 2024

For the 3-D attraction, its a moment that provides a breather. The motion simulator lingers for a few seconds, and our makeshift animatronic captain, the golden droid C-3PO, turns to face riders. C-3PO shifts into tour guide mode, appearing in awe of the purrgil and commenting on how serene the animals are.

“This will be different from other sequences, to have a moment,” said Tom Fitzgerald, a senior creative executive with Walt Disney Imagineering, the company’s secretive arm devoted to theme park attractions, when asked about taking a patient approach to the scene. “You don’t get many moments. It’s so compact. But it’s a moment to let people look at the beauty of this, and the 3-D gives you the scale of those creatures.”

The additions to Star Tours are arguably the centerpiece of Disneyland’s all-things-”Star Wars” promotion Season of the Force , which debuted this past weekend and runs through June 2. The “Star Wars” festival also sees new droids making their way to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge through the duration of the event, as well as the return of Space Mountain overlay Hyperspace Mountain and a new free scavenger hunt that aims to get players to pay close attention to the minute details of Galaxy’s Edge.

Fitzgerald has been with Star Tours since the ride’s beginning, and oversaw the latest Star Tours additions, which further deviate the attraction from any strict “Star Wars” timeline and instead focus it on being a sort of “greatest hits” for the brand. The purrgil scene also features Rosario Dawson’s Ahsoka Tano and the character’s svelte, fast-rotating starship above the planet of Seatos. Tano’s ship inspired Imagineers to see if they could add some new tricks to the attraction, mainly in the way the simulator can move. When Tano’s vessel twists and spins, for instance, the starspeeder attempts to mimic it, endeavoring to create the feeling of a 360-barrel roll. At other times, the starspeeder glides among the purrgil.

Key to Star Tours’ longevity, and what makes it the rare motion simulator that doesn’t feel rooted in the 1980s, is its ability to create new sensations via its movements. The ride now has more than 250 storyline variations, and when adding to the attraction, Imagineers are looking for ways to heighten the contrast among its various scenes, both tonally and in its maneuvers. Though Star Tours is typically randomized — for the foreseeable future, and definitely throughout Disneyland’s spring Season of the Force promotion — all riders are guaranteed to visit the new location and receive an early-flight transmission from one of the recently added characters.

“How do we make each of the places we go have a different color palette?” says Fitzgerald, who then recalls different “Star Wars” planets that can be featured in the attraction’s random programming. “Mustafar is all lava. Kashyyyk is all green jungle. So they feel very different when you get the combos. And then motion-based. Could we do a barrel roll? That’s the fun of doing it, and programming it and trying it. And we needed something else. What have we not done? So with the purrgils, what if we do skiing through the tentacles? We had never done that. So those are the two big motion changes.”

The attraction is also livened up by appearances from Dawnson’s Tano, Diego Luna’s Cassian Andor and a masked Din Djarin from “The Mandalorian.” While the latter is played and portrayed by Pedro Pascal on the Disney+ series, many have noted that the Djarin on “Star Tours” features a slightly different vocal cadence than Pascal, and an Imagineering spokesperson says the company is not revealing its voice actors for the attraction. Nevertheless, “The Mandalorian” moment features some comic relief — and clever 3-D usage — courtesy of Grogu, colloquially refered to as “baby Yoda,” and his penchant to use Force powers to toy with and eat frogs.

Dine at a table that moves you from room to room? A look at the future of theme parks

Here are 5 takeaways from the Themed Entertainment Assn.’s annual gathering in Hollywood.

March 20, 2024

The three appear as transmissions that help define the suddenly urgent narrative of Star Tours. “Each one is different,” Fitzgerald says. “Mando and Grogu we played for comedy. And Andor is mysterious. You don’t see his face. You see this thing coming toward you. Is that a friend or foe? And then he pulls his hood and the music changes.” Tano, meanwhile, arrives like an old friend who knows C-3PO and fellow droid R2D2. Riders are advised to pay close attention to the opening cinematic in a ship’s hangar, as there is a new randomized opening that features Tano in a lightsaber battle with Stormtroopers.

As for why the new additions perhaps lean a bit more heavily on “Ahsoka,” as it is that series that features the planet of Seatos and the purrgil, Fitzgerald had a simple answer: yes, it’s the space whales.

With access to early scripts from Lucasfilm, Fitzgerald says he singled out the purrgil scenes. “Reading about that, not knowing what they looked like initially, I was going, that’s going to be really cool.” And, at least for a few seconds, relatively calming.

Rebecca Ferguson says her recent revelation that a former co-star treated her abusively on a film set caused some panic among her former castmates.

In a new interview, Ferguson told The Jess Cagle Show on SiriusXM that she was “not expecting” her comments to start such a guessing game.

“Number one, yes, I kind of enjoyed the grab,” she said. “But what I realized even at the age that I am now — 21 — is it doesn’t matter. I definitely think I’m much more open. I also know where my boundaries are. But the point of the interview wasn’t about finding the person — of course, people will be interested. But I was excited about the question, which was a very good question by [Josh Smith]. Because the point was: Is there a point in your career where you were treated in a way where you changed your decision on — this is how I formulated it in myself — where you want change, or you will not accept it? And it was such a clear moment for me working with this person.”

“But I got phone calls from amazing co-stars who I’ve worked with going, ‘You understand what you’ve done, right?!'” she continued. “And I was like, ‘Oh my God. No, I didn’t think.’ I mean, it’s not my responsibility, to be honest. I don’t really care. You know, ‘You’re great, but my story is my story, and if you’re a good person, then don’t worry about it.'”

Cagle then added, “The person was Meryl Steep, and everybody knows it,” to which Ferguson jokingly replied, “Dammit!”

She explained that “because this person was number one on the call sheet, there was no safety net” for her. “So no one had my back. And I would cry walking off set,” Ferguson said. “This person would literally look at me in front of the whole crew and say, ‘You call yourself an actor? This is what I have to work with? What is this?’ And I stood there just breaking.”

Ferguson  said she felt “scared” after the ordeal and confronted her co-star, noting it was the first time she spoke up for herself as an actor. “I looked at this person, and I said, ‘You get off my set. You can F off. I’m gonna work towards a tennis ball. I never want to see you again.’”

After the producers informed her she couldn’t do that to the “number one” and the person would have to remain on set, Ferguson said, “The person can turn around, and I can act to the back of the head.” And that’s what she did. “I remember thinking that time I was so scared. I feel it now when I’m saying it,” she continued. “But I thought, ‘It shouldn’t have to be that way.’”

Ferguson quickly ruled out that the person was either Tom Cruise or Hugh Jackman but that still left plenty of names for people to speculate about.

Rebecca Ferguson’s co-stars panicked after allegations: ‘You understand what you’ve done?’

Dune and Mission Impossible actress Rebecca Ferguson has opened up about how her famous co-stars reacted to her recent allegations.

‘Forced’: Prince William’s surprise King move

In February, Swedish actress Rebecca Ferguson reflected upon a transformative moment in her decades-long career, remembering a time on-set where an “idiot” A-list co-star made disparaging remarks towards her, ultimately prompting her to tell them to “F off.”

Although she did not name the individual, her comments went viral, with internet sleuths quickly trying to ascertain the actor’s identity.

“I was not expecting that, by the way,” the Dune: Part 2 star recently said on SiriusXM’s The Jess Cagle Show of her commentary gaining traction, confessing that a litany of former co-stars had since contacted her in a frenzy.

“Yes, I kind of enjoyed the grab,” Ferguson admitted of the attention. “But I realised, even at the age that I am now … it doesn’t matter. When you sit and do interviews … cause I’m me, right? I definitely think that I’m much more open. I also know where my boundaries are. But the point of the interview wasn’t about finding the person. Of course people will be interested.”

Ferguson said divulging her story wasn’t about naming the individual, but rather highlighting her strength.

“The point was, ‘Is there a point in your career where you were treated in a way where you changed your decision on either – this is how I formulated in myself – You want change or you will not accept it, etcetera.”

“And it was such a clear moment for me working with this person,” she continued. “I’ve got phone calls from amazing co-stars who I’ve worked with going, ‘You understand what you’ve done, right?’ And I was like, ‘Oh my God. No, I didn’t. I didn’t think.’”

“I mean it’s not my responsibility to be honest, I don’t really care, you know. You’re great. But my story is my story and if you’re a good person, then don’t worry about it.”

The Mission Impossible actress has worked alongside some of the biggest names in Hollywood, including Meryl Streep and Hugh Grant in Florence Foster Jenkins , Emily Blunt in The Girl on the Train , Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson in Hercules and Zendaya, Timothée Chalamet and Florence Pugh in Dune.

Both Johnson and Blunt have refuted any involvement, showing their support for Ferguson. Johnson wrote on X, “Hate seeing this but love seeing her stand up to bull —. Rebecca was my guardian angel sent from heaven on our set. I love that woman. I’d like to find out who did this.”

A representative for Blunt told the Daily Mai l : “Rebecca and Emily are friends, and there’s nothing but love between them.”

Ferguson initially told her story on Josh Smith’s podcast, Reign , noting at the time that neither Tom Cruise nor Hugh Jackman, with whom she’s worked on several projects, were the people she was referencing.

“I did a film with an absolute idiot of a co-star,” she began. “This human being was being so insecure and angry because [they] couldn’t get the scenes out. And I think I was so vulnerable and uncomfortable that I got screamed at and I would cry walking off set.”

“This person would literally look at me in front of the whole crew and say, ‘You call yourself an actor? This is what I have to work with? … What is this?’ And I stood there just breaking.”

“And I remember the next day I walked on and I said, ‘You get off my set.’ That’s the first time I [had] ever spoken — I remember being so scared. And I looked at this person and I said, ‘You can F off. I’m gonna work toward a tennis ball. I never want to see you again.’”

More Coverage

Ferguson explained that she didn’t feel support from executives. “And then I remember the producers came up and said, ‘You can’t do this to No. 1. We have to let this person be on set,’” she explained. “And I said, ‘But the person can turn around and I can act to the back [of their] head.’ And I did.”

“It took so long for me to get to that. It’s within my last 10 years or 12 years. And I’ve acted since I was 16. But from that moment, I have never let myself get to a point when I’ve got home and gone, ‘What did, why did that happen?’”
