Pirates of the Hudson Halloween Cruise 2026

Set sail for a Halloween night of mystery, mischief, and adventure aboard the Star of the Hudson. Leave Manhattan behind and enter a pirate-inspired world of rogue captains, lost treasure, infamous pirates, and creatures of the sea as you cruise along the Hudson River beneath the lights of New York City. Costumes are encouraged, so come dressed as your favorite mysterious siren, shipwrecked soul, or create your own Halloween look. Enjoy breathtaking NYC skyline views throughout the voyage while a rotation of live DJs keeps the energy high with music for guests to dance, drink, and celebrate. The cruise offers a unique Halloween experience on the water, with views of the Statue of Liberty, East River, Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan Bridge, 59th Street Bridge, and Freedom Tower. Check-in begins at 9:00 PM, boarding is from 9:30 PM, and the cruise departs at 10:30 PM. Estimated return is 2:30 AM at Pier 78. Please note that guests who miss boarding will miss the cruise.
