Halloween Cruises

We are lucky enough to live in South Florida and, over the years, have been able to experience Halloween Cruises, Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights, and Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party at Walt Disney World. Although all were fun and unique experiences, the cruise wins hands down. Perhaps is the comfort of being able to go to your cabin and relax, but know that there is plenty to do throughout the ship when you are ready. When in the parks, you know your time is limited and that you have to see and do the most you can before leaving. Lines are often long, which often means you can only go on a few rides and see a few haunted houses. If you haven’t tried it, we suggest considering a Halloween cruise. Every cruise line has great decorations, Halloween-themed cocktails & food, and plenty of activities, so you can do as much or as little as you’d like. We’ve put a list together of popular options for you for next year.

Best Halloween Cruises

For families, no one does it like Disney Cruise Line. From the Mickey Mouse-querade party & Pirate Night and an adults-only costume party, there is plenty to do for all ages. Halloween on the High Seas includes costumed characters, storytime, crafts, pumpkin carving, scavenger hunts, family parties, candy & special treats.
