Halloween 2026: the Horror Cruise, a festive, costume-filled night aboard a boat in Paris

Published by Rizhlaine de Sortiraparis · Updated on October 5, 2026 at 04:25 p.m.
For Halloween 2026, the Horror Cruise takes night owls aboard a voyage along the Seine in Paris. On the program: costumes, makeup, DJ sets and nocturnal sailing, followed by an onshore party that runs until 5 a.m.

What do you say to celebrating Halloween aboard a haunted ship? On Saturday, October 31, 2026, the Horror Cruise invites you to a Halloween night aboard a Parisian boat, cruising along the Seine with decorations, on-board entertainment, and of course, clubbing. The meeting point: the River’s King, moored at Quai Saint-Bernard in the 5th arrondissement.

A Halloween Cruise Right in the Heart of Paris

The evening kicks off with boarding announced from 8 p.m., before the boat casts off for a cruise scheduled from 9:30 p.m. to 11:15 p.m.. The concept: discover Paris by night along the Seine while gradually slipping into the Halloween mood.

As the voyage goes on, the capital’s lights and monuments set the stage for a festival that looks like it’s been plucked straight from the street. For the occasion, the boat is set to reveal a special decoration for this horror cruise where you’re invited to come in costume and celebrate Halloween in true style. During the trip, a makeup stand will let passengers perfect their look—vampire, zombie, or any other suitably sinister creature. An open candy bar and surprise goodies are also planned. And, a notable detail for those planning to dance until dawn, a dining area will stay open until 11 p.m. A welcome precaution before hours of party.

After the cruise, the ship morphs into a nightclub

At 11:15 p.m., the cruise may end, but the night certainly doesn’t. Once back at the dock, the River’s King shifts gears to become a floating club until 5 a.m. with DJ sets, a party atmosphere, and booming sound to extend Halloween into the early hours. You can also choose whether to enjoy both the cruise and the club, or stay on the quay and attend only the second part of the evening.
