About this tour

Trade Manhattan streets for a Halloween night on the Hudson aboard the Star of the Hudson. This New York Halloween cruise brings pirate-inspired mischief, live DJs, and city lights together for a late-night voyage on the water. Costumes are encouraged, whether you arrive as a mysterious siren, a shipwrecked soul, or in a look of your own.

As the boat travels along the river, take in views of the Statue of Liberty, the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges, the 59th Street Bridge, and Freedom Tower. Live DJs keep the music going as guests dance, drink, and celebrate against the illuminated New York skyline. Admission to the boat is included.

Check-in starts at 9:00 PM, boarding begins at 9:30 PM, and departure is scheduled for 10:30 PM, with an estimated return to Pier 78 at 2:30 AM. Arrive in time to board: missing boarding means missing the cruise. Set your Halloween plans afloat with a New York Halloween cruise that turns the Hudson into a night of costumes, music, and skyline views.

How this score is calculated

This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.

How the score works
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
