The Queen Mary’s Dark Harbor is making a triumphant return to Long Beach this fall after a four-year hiatus.
From Sept. 20 through Nov. 2, the nearly 100-year-old haunted vessel will transform into a spooky spectacle for Halloween fans.
Expect haunted mazes, live entertainment, themed bars, and of course, plenty of sinister eats and treats.
Thirteenth Floor Entertainment Group, known for its top-tier Halloween events, will bring Dark Harbor back to life with new characters and storylines.
Guests can look forward to the return of secret speakeasies hidden within the mazes, with exclusive access granted via “mystic tokens”.
For a guaranteed speakeasy entry, visitors can purchase the “Foresight Four Pack” for an astrology reading and tokens from the mysterious Lady Mabel.
The festival will feature nightly entertainment, including the eerie Dark Harbor Sliders, fire spinners, and Voodoo Sound Company’s haunting percussion performances.
Magicians and sideshow performers will roam the grounds, offering creepy thrills at the Bizarre Bar while DJs keep the party going in the ShipYard.
New for 2024 is Lullaby, a maze where the ghost of Scary Mary lurks in the Queen Mary’s first-class swimming pool.
Returning with a twist, Feast will take guests through the back kitchen of the ship to face the terrifying Butcher, followed by a chilling journey into the Engine Room.
Infirmary is another new maze where guests will encounter a sadistic surgeon and his eerie accomplice, Graceful Gale, in a macabre medical nightmare.
A twisted carnival awaits inside Big Top Terror, where the Ringmaster traps visitors in a deadly labyrinth filled with cursed objects and horrifying jack o’lanterns.
Fans of the infamous stateroom B340 won’t want to miss Breakout, where they can follow in the footsteps of notorious murderer Samuel the Savage as he escapes prison.
The spirits of Dark Harbor won’t be confined to just the mazes—guests can learn about the real ghost stories of the Queen Mary while grabbing a drink at the Spirits Bar.
For an extra eerie experience, Lady Mabel will host a spine-tingling séance called The Summoning of Samuel, where participants can connect with a vengeful ghost.
With its mix of classic haunts, new thrills, and spooky surprises, Dark Harbor promises to be an unforgettable Halloween experience in Long Beach this fall.
