Dream Cruises and StarCruises are making Halloween 2025 bigger, spookier, and more unforgettable! Imagine sailing across Asia while stepping into floating worlds of haunted adventures, dazzling costumes, and family fun.
Each of Dream Cruises and StarCruises’ three ships, namely the Genting Dream, Star Navigator, and Star Voyager, has a unique lineup of Halloween activities and parties, ensuring that there is something exciting for everyone! If you are planning your next getaway, here is a complete look at what you can expect on board.
Genting Dream, 24 October to 2 November 2025
On Genting Dream, Halloween 2025 blends hands-on creativity with high-energy thrills, creating an atmosphere that shifts from light-hearted fun to spine-tingling excitement.
The main attraction is the Carnival of Clowns Survival Show, staged at the Zouk Beach Club on Deck 17 AFT. Inspired by survival game formats but with a creepy clown twist, this 60-minute experience invites guests to take part in a series of eerie challenges.
From tense stop-and-start games to physical contests and deduction rounds, the event builds a sense of suspense from start to finish. The presence of the sinister Clown Master, along with ominous lighting and roaming performers, sets a chilling scene that lingers long after the show is over.
When the survival games wrap up, the ship’s Zouk Night Club comes alive with a Halloween party. Here, music and laughter fill the air as guests join in themed activities such as the Mummy Wrap challenge, the quirky Zombie Ramp Walk Show, and the lively Dark Night Disco.
Adding to the eerie fun are surprise character encounters scattered throughout the ship. From ghosts in the theatre to mysterious figures emerging from the lifts, these unexpected appearances keep everyone on their toes. Guests can also gather at the Lobby on Deck 6 MID for a meet-and-greet that brings the spooky cast together.
To balance the scares with creativity, the Lobby also hosts Halloween arts and crafts workshops. Free sessions invite guests to make 3D pumpkins, skeletons, bats, and imaginative origami figures, while chargeable options allow for personalised items such as painted mugs, tote bags, canvases, and masks. These activities ensure that everyone, from families to solo travellers, can bring home a handmade memento of their Halloween at sea.
Star Navigator, 24 October to 2 November 2025
Sailing from 24 October to 2 November 2025, the Star Navigator offers a ship-wide Halloween experience where every corner feels alive with the spirit of the season.
Throughout the voyage, guests can expect to encounter iconic horror figures, including Dracula, zombies, Annabelle the doll, Sadako Yamamura, the Joker, and the classic evil witch. Their presence transforms the ship into something resembling a floating haunted house, adding an immersive edge to every stroll along the decks.
At the heart of the action is the Halloween Costume Party in the Grand Piazza (Deck 7 MID). This festive gathering brings everyone together in their most creative or spooky attire, filling the space with colour, energy, and imagination.
The Grand Piazza also sets the scene for a Halloween Scavenger Hunt. This adventure leads participants through four haunted locations on board, where scary characters guard the stamps needed to complete the challenge. It’s a playful way to explore the ship while soaking up the Halloween atmosphere.
For those who enjoy being creative, Palm Court (Deck 12 FWD) is home to hands-on activities such as making air-dry clay ghosts, stone painting, and crafting 3D paper pumpkins. Guests looking for something extra can also join the chargeable DIY “Light in the Darkness” project, where a customised light bulb becomes a glowing Halloween keepsake.
Meanwhile, children have their very own celebration at the Little Dreamers Club (Deck 13 FWD). With dancing, games, and trick-or-treating, alongside crafts like mask-making, felt treat baskets, Jack-o’-lanterns, and paper spiders, younger guests can enjoy their own magical version of Halloween at sea.
Star Voyager, 19 October to 6 November 2025
The Star Voyager embraces the Halloween spirit across five sailings between 19 October and 6 November 2025, offering a well-rounded programme that mixes family fun with dramatic theatrical experiences.
The highlight is the Squad Game, an adrenaline-fuelled production staged at the Zodiac Theatre (Deck 7 FWD). With dramatic lighting, atmospheric sound effects, and the sudden arrival of a masked game master, the show immediately captures the audience’s attention. Contestants then move through a series of high-energy challenges that bring both suspense and entertainment, creating a finale that leaves a lasting impression.
Elsewhere on board, the Night of Frights Costume Party at the Atrium (Deck 5 MID) sets the tone for a lively evening of spooky games, music, and costumes. The space fills with energy as guests of all ages come together to celebrate in true Halloween style.
For something sweeter, Palm Court (Deck 7 FWD) transforms into the “I Scream, You Scream” Ice Cream Halloween Party. This chargeable event gives guests the chance to indulge in unlimited ice cream, decorate their own spooky creations, and enjoy the playful atmosphere of DIY costume and face paint stations. Children can also take part in Wicked Whimsy Face Art sessions at the Velvet Lounge (Deck 7 MID), where vibrant designs turn little ones into whimsical monsters, wizards, or enchanting creatures.
Finally, the Spooky Crafts and Trick-or-Treat Fest at the Atrium ensures families can enjoy the holiday together. With creative workshops followed by a safe trick-or-treating session, this activity is designed to include everyone, making it one of the most heart-warming highlights of the voyage.
