Pirates of the Hudson : Halloween 2026 Aboard Star of the Hudson

This Halloween, leave Manhattan behind and set sail for a night of mystery, mischief, and adventure aboard the Star of the Hudson. Inspired by the legendary world of pirates and the high seas, this one-of-a-kind Halloween cruise brings the party to the Hudson River with breathtaking views of the New York City skyline as your backdrop.

Step aboard and enter a world of rogue captains, lost treasure, infamous pirates, and creatures of the sea as the Star of the Hudson transforms for an unforgettable night on the water. Come dressed as your favorite mysterious siren or shipwrecked soul—or put your own spin on the theme as we cruise beneath the lights of Manhattan.

A rotation of live DJs will provide the soundtrack throughout the voyage, keeping the energy high as guests dance, drink, and take in panoramic views of the skyline and Hudson River. From the moment we leave the dock to our late-night return, expect a Halloween celebration unlike anything you'll find on land.
