Halloween on the High Seas Cruises Haunting Disney Ships this Fall

Posted on by Kenneth Reece, Agent of Modern Travel Professionals

Set sail for a spooky jubilee packed with haunted tricks and fun-filled treats for the whole family. Beginning in September, Disney Cruise Line ships will be transformed into a ghoulish wonderland for another season of Halloween on the High Seas cruises, an extra-spooky celebration packed with haunted tricks and fun-filled treats for the whole family!

NEW FOR 2024 Halloween on the High Seas — This year, Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and Donald Duck don new costumes for the celebration! Mickey and Minnie are both dapper and spooky in their batty ensembles, and never to be outdone, Donald has put together a gentleman spider costume sure to impress (His spidery legs are ready to boogie!). Check out the crew in their newest ensembles, have a scarily good time at Mickey’s Mouse-querade, trick or treat, and nibble on frightening eats and drinks on Halloween on the High Seas sailings setting sail on select dates in September and October. 

Discover magical mischief and spellbinding surroundings as you commemorate Halloween at sea. This spook-tacular experience is available on most itineraries departing late September through Halloween. Thrills and chills await you at every turn, thanks to not-so-scary activities, eerie entertainment and bewitching décor—including a magical Halloween tree.

Halloween activities and offerings are subject to change and vary by ship and itinerary.

Unearth frightfully fun entertainment during these festive cruises:

  • Mickey’s Mouse-querade
    Shiver in delight during a scare-a-bration with some of your favorite Disney Pals bedecked in their Halloween finest. Don your ghoulish best and join in the fun!
  • Themed Character Meet and Greets
    Encounter Disney characters cloaked in ghostly garb—including Minnie Mouse, Daisy Duck and Clarabelle Cow dressed as the iconic Sanderson sisters, from the movie Hocus Pocus.
  • Halloween Activities
    Conjure some creepy crafts for the entire family.
  • Spine-Tingling Treats
    Enjoy unique Halloween-themed desserts, beverages and trick-or-treating!

Even more spooky surprises await you on board! Be sure to pack your favorite costumes and get ready for happy haunts.

Hi, I’m Kenneth Reece — and I help make unforgettable vacations feel effortless. With 50 cruises under my belt (and more in the works!), I specialize in bucket-list travel experiences for grown-up travelers who want something a little more meaningful, a little more personal, and a lot more fun. Whether you're cruising the blue waters of the Caribbean, exploring the stunning coastlines of Alaska, or soaking in the magic of Europe one cobblestone street at a time — I’m here to help you plan a trip you’ll always remember. Lately, river cruising has completely captured my heart. There’s just something special about waking up each morning in a new European town, with your floating boutique hotel waiting to take you to the next charming stop. I love pairing these river cruises with guided land tours for a perfect balance of sightseeing and relaxation. Princess Cruises has long been one of my favorites at sea, but I’ve sailed with many cruise lines and know how to match each client with the right one for them. I’ve also experienced the Disney magic around the world — from Disneyland and Walt Disney World to Tokyo and Paris — and I bring that same sense of wonder and thoughtful planning into everything I do. Whether you're celebrating a milestone, traveling solo, or just need help making sense of all the choices out there, I’m here to be your guide. I love helping clients as much — or as little — as they prefer. From the first conversation to the moment you return home, you’ll know someone has your back. Let’s make your next trip easy, exciting, and completely tailored to you.
