Ocean Liner Halloween Events

Disney Cruise Line's 'Halloween on the High Seas' Targets Families

Disney Cruise Line is known for its family-friendly on-board experiences -- ranging from sci-fi inspired festivals to princess-themed tea parties -- and its annual Halloween event is no exception. Celebrating everyone's favorite fall holiday, 'Halloween on the High Seas' invites families aboard Disney Cruise Line ships to experience a party that the whole family can enjoy.

In addition to themed decor, food, and activities, the Halloween event also features costumed staff that are dressed in character-inspired garb. The festivities include live performances, surprise guests, and even trick-or-treating sessions for the event's younger attendees.

With more young families seeking travel experiences to remember, traditional hospitality brands like cruiseliners are ensuring their on-board itinerary revolves around more interactive and experiential components -- something Disney masters with this holiday-themed event.
