Big Halloween Half-Term Fun for Little Monsters

Creepy Cruises have been created especially for families looking for something different to do together during October Half Term. 

Rather than anything genuinely frightening, expect a playful Halloween atmosphere that younger children can enjoy. 

There are spooky stories to hear, activities to complete, scenery to spot and plenty happening onboard as the Vintage Hauntsman makes its way along the river. 

And for grown-ups? You get to enjoy a cruise through the Norfolk Broads while somebody else provides the half-term entertainment for 90 minutes. Terrifyingly civilised.

About Vintage Hauntsman

For Halloween, our popular Vintage Broadsman takes on an altogether spookier identity. 

Welcome aboard the Vintage Hauntsman… 

The boat is transformed with Halloween decorations and ghostly touches to create a fun and atmospheric setting for your family adventure. 

With comfortable indoor accommodation and outdoor viewing areas, there is plenty of opportunity to enjoy both the Halloween activities onboard and the changing Norfolk Broads scenery outside. 

Our crew will be on hand throughout the cruise to make sure little monsters and their grown-ups have an enjoyable trip.

 

Tricks, Treats & Spooky Fun For the Children  

Young passengers are at the heart of Creepy Cruises. 

Children can enjoy a trick-or-treat activity pack during the journey while listening out for the skipper’s spooky stories and ghostly tales of the Broads. 

Fancy dress is encouraged, so this is an excellent opportunity for children to give their Halloween costume an extra outing during half term. 

Creepy Cruises are particularly suited to families with children up to approximately 8 years old, with entertainment designed to be fun and atmospheric rather than frightening. 

 

For the Grown-Ups 

Creepy Cruises are designed to be an experience that adults can enjoy alongside the children. 

Settle in and take in the autumn scenery as you cruise through the Norfolk Broads while our crew takes care of the Halloween entertainment. 

With indoor seating and outdoor viewing areas, there is plenty of opportunity to enjoy the river and capture a few photographs of your elaborately costumed offspring before the witch’s hat inevitably falls in the water.
