Dark Harbor will once again rise for Halloween at the Queen Mary

There are dark times ahead for the Queen Mary, and this is great news for the ship and fans of horror events.

After being canceled in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic, the ship’s widely popular Dark Harbor Halloween haunt event and festival is returning to the Queen Mary this year on select nights from Sept. 20 through Nov. 2.

According to ship officials, it will replace Shaqtoberfest, a Halloween event conjured up by former Los Angeles Lakers all-star Shaquille O’Neal that took place on the Queen Mary grounds in 2022-23.
