2026 Halloween Boo Cruise

The 2026 Halloween Boo Cruise sets sail from the Portland Spirit on Saturday, October 31, with doors opening at 9:30 PM and the cruise departing at 10 PM. It's an adults-only party on the water, open to over-21s only, and there's a photo ID check at the door. If you're planning to go, keep that in mind before you head down to the dock.

The dress code leans heavily into the holiday: guests are encouraged to turn up in costume and throw themselves into a contest that awards prizes worth hundreds of dollars to the top three looks. There are a few rules for the outfits, though—weapons, knives, guns, or swords of any kind, real or fake, are forbidden, and masks have to be easily removable. On board, a full-service bar and a bistro menu do the rounds, and no outside alcohol or food is allowed. The cruise is non-smoking and wheelchair accessible on the first level only, while a DJ takes over the second level and spins party hits that carry the night.

Tickets start at $50. The boat departs from the Salmon Springs Dock at 1010 SW Naito Pkwy, Portland, OR 97204, so give yourself enough time to get there before the 10 PM departure.
