Your Halloween Night Has A Different Address This Year
Not a ballroom.
Not a nightclub.
Not another crowded bar.
The water.
On Saturday, October 31, step aboard for a Halloween cruise in Vancouver and watch an ordinary boat transform into a moving costume party after dark.
The music starts. The costumes arrive. Drinks hit the bar. Vancouver's lights appear across the water.
Then the boat leaves the dock.
From that point on, Halloween belongs to everyone onboard.
🎭 Welcome To The Costume Party
Halloween is your excuse to become somebody — or something — completely different for one night.
Costumes are required, so make it count.
Vampire. Villain. Movie character. Ghost. Celebrity. Monster. Couple costume. Group theme. Something ridiculous nobody understands until you explain it.
There are no boring costumes required here.
And with a professional photographer onboard, you’ll have plenty of chances to capture the look before the night is over.
🌙 Cruise. Dance. Disappear Into Halloween.
Move between two completely different moods during the night.
Downstairs: The Party
Inside the heated deck, DJs take over with a high-energy soundtrack built for dancing.
DJ EM1 | DJ Liftoff
Expect:
Hip Hop / Top 40 / Reggaeton / Afrobeats / Dancehall / Throwbacks / EDM / Club Hits / Halloween Anthems
Have a track your group needs to hear?
Bring your request to the DJ booth.
Upstairs: The View
Take a break from the dance floor and step onto the open-air rooftop.
Vancouver is glowing around you.
Water below.
Skyline ahead.
Costumes everywhere.
It is the kind of Halloween moment that doesn't happen inside four walls.
🍸 Drinks On The Water
A licensed bar will be available onboard for guests 19+.
Grab a drink, meet your crew upstairs, take in the city views, then head back down when the next track drops.
🌃 Vancouver After Dark
As the cruise moves through the waterfront, the city becomes part of the venue.
You may experience views around False Creek, Vancouver's downtown skyline and the illuminated waterfront, depending on sailing conditions.
Actual sailing route and views are determined by weather, marine conditions and the captain's discretion.
