Cruise with the Portland Spirit, if you dare, for an evening of frightful fun, on the Boo! Cruise! Put on your most creative and/or scary costume and come on board for live music from Portland’s own Adventure Galley , dancing, costume contests and the only floating Halloween dance party in town.
Vessel and Company Information
The Portland Spirit is a 150′ yacht with three public decks, two of which are enclosed and climate controlled. We have seating for 340 guests on the two interior decks for a plated meal cruise and capacity for 450 guests for a reception. The Portland Spirit features delicious Northwest cuisine prepared to order in our on-board galley, several full service bars with a vast wine selection, grand pianos with live performers (don’t forget our singing wait staff), a ship-wide sound system, and a marble dance floor.
The vessels and crew of Portland Spirit River Cruise Dining and Columbia River Adventures form the premier fleet of dinner ships in the Northwest. They offer public lunch, brunch, dinner and sightseeing cruises as well as specialty cruises throughout the year. There are 5 boats in the fleet including the Portland Spirit, Willamette Star, Crystal Dolphin, Outrageous Jet Boat and Columbia Gorge Sternwheeler normally out of Cascade Locks, OR. Portland Spirit also operates two land venues; the Terrace on Thunder Island and Gorge Pavilion in Cascade Locks.
This sounds like fun, I’ve never been on one of their cruises and I’d love to try them out.
This looks amazing. I would love to attend.
I’ve never been on The Spirit and I would love to celebrate my first time at this event!!
Take to the sea! Should I win these tickets, I would very seriously consider dressing as Lucille Bluth and good-naturedly attempting to commandeer the Portland Spirit. What’s Halloween without a little mischief?
I have never been on a booze cruise, much less a Boo! Cruise so I would LOOOOOVE this!
I thu nk the Boo Cruise will be the best halloween experience in all of Portland! Please pick me! Thanks
My hubby & I are going to be Frankenstein & Bride of Frankenstein this year-a Boo Cruise would be a great way to celebrate! It would be amazing to win tickets.
Mrs Franenstien and I want to party and dance the monster mash in that boat.
I am still new to the area and have heard of the Spirit and would love to take a trip on it! I also love Halloween so the Boo! Cruise would be so much fun!
I have never been on a cruise or done anything special for Halloween, this sounds like a great time!
I would like to win tickets because i recently just lost 55 lbs and would like to celebrate my hard work on ny favorite holiday!
I would love to attend the Boo Cruise because it’s the perfect way to let out my inner Halloween monster while enjoying a view of this great city of ours!

This would be my first cruise, and its been a looong time since I dressed up for Halloween.
I’d love to go to this!
OMG, I would LUV to take a BIRTHDAY/HALLOWEEN cruise! I have been wanting to do the summer cruises for the last few years but never got around to it. It’s my 55th Birthday on the 23rd..it would be an AWESOME, EXCITING, UNUSUAL and FUN gift for my husband and I to cruise. Hey, I only turn 55 once! ;) PS – I’m a FUN gal and a BOO Cruise is better than a BOOZE cruise anyday!
This would ROCK!!!!!
I need some fun in my life and some boo’s.
I have always wanted to take a cruise on the Portland Spirit and Halloween is my FAVORITE!! holiday! Two great things that go great together, how can you go wrong? Sounds like an ghoulishly good time!
Oh my gosh I would be incredibly grateful to win these!!!!!
I may be old but i can boogie just as good as amy vampire
cruising, boozing, and boo!-ing, count me in!
I have never heard of this, but it sounds rad!
I didn’t want to give away any hints, but my costume this year would be the perfect thing to wear on a boat. In fact, it wouldn’t make sense for me to be anywhere but a boat.
I would love to win this, it sounds so fun!
My fiancé love getting dressed up for Halloween! We’ve never been on any cruises before and would love the opportunity! Our costumes will not disappoint! Pick us!!
Just moved to Portland. Sounds like a great Halloween party & great way to see the city with my boyfriend!! :)
Wow, sounds like a great time.
The spirit cruises are so much fun. Love being on the water. Great times during holidays!!
Pick me pick me!
We got married on the Portland Spirit and would love this opportunity to enjoy it again and all the wonderful memories it holds for us!
This would be such a nice surprise gift. My man and I never get out because we just work, work, work. We have never been on the Portland Spirit and this would be such a treat! Thank you in advance for tickets ( :
Sound like so much fun
I’ve always wanted to go on the spirit. Now that I’m 21 i can! Plus I’m dressing up like a sailor ;)
booooooooo
I’ve been on one river cruise and it was fantastic. Would love to experience the Boo Cruise and party ’til the ghouls come home.
Oh man, my husband and I have been wanting to get out on the Spirit together so badly!!! We would love to get this opportunity, especially since we haven’t had a date in a long time with two little ones to take care of. I hope we win!
My partner and I are new to Portland! This would be a fun way to meet new friends and see Portland from a different angle.;)We want to see what a Portland Halloween has got!
Spooky water……Oh no
A river cruise was one of our first dates, and two years and a thousand miles later, I’d love to re-visit that with my boyfriend. Not to mention I LOVE Hallowe’en!
This sounds great! I’ve lived in Portland eight years and still haven’t done the Spirit Cruise. I hope to join this killer event! Aloha.
I would love for my Husband and I to be able to go to this. I am new to PDX/Oregon and would love to experience everything I can. This sounds like so much fun!
Whoo hoo!!!! :)
I NEED a Halloween cruise!
Never been on a cruise for Halloween and we have no Halloween plans yet. Would be great to go on this cruise!!!
I want to win, because I want to be like “I’m on a boat…at Halloween”.
I need to take my girl out on a super cruise!
Because it’s my Birthday weekend and I love Halloween!!!!!!!!!!
Saturday Oct 26th is my 24th Birthday!!! I am driving down to Portland all the way from Bellingham, WA to see friends and have a good time but do not have any set plans. Winning a cruise would be just splendid and I have a pretty awesome homemade Halloween costume that I would love to show off. Pick me, pick me! Please :)
The last time I was on the portland spirit was after my 8th grade graduation. It’s necessary that I go to redeem myself so the spirit doesn’t remember the extremely awkward, acne prone teenager that I was. The portland spirit needs to get to know the now cool, crafty, best costume creator the northwest has ever known, me!
Ohh what an awesome event please pick me, me and my lady have never been aboard the spirit so a dance event would be spectacular. Pleeeaase!!!
Would love to take my visiting friends!
I have never done anything for Halloween ever. @ 45 years old I’d love to have my first halloween to be aboard the Portland spirit!
Boo cruise, booze cruise. Been interested in trying one of these for a while. Give me the chance!!
Me and the husband have two kids and NEED to get out on a date! We have never been on the portland cruise and would love for this to be the first!
Need something fun to do for Halloween, and this sounds awesome!
If I win these, my date and I will have the best costumes on the boat!
My feelings about the Boo! Cruise could best be summed up in a haiku:
Bow to stern scary
Dancing bootys in costume
Screw the Corn Maze. Cheers!
Would love to celebrate on the Portland Spirit!
I’ve been looking for a good costume party, and nothing beats Halloween on the water!
Halloween is my Anniversay! Husband & I have been looking for a new & exciting way to celebrate this year. Boo Cruise would be perfect!
What could be better than a costume party on a boat?!
Party on a boat? How awesome will that be?l?
My parents are visiting and it is hilarious watching them dance.
I would love to attend this event. I just moved to Vancouver, and I have not yet been to Portland or on a boat! It would be an unforgettable 1st time, to celebrate with the man I love, on our favorite holiday, in our dream city! :) <3
Um, so I have this Idea where I’m in a costume on the Spirit and they play “I’m on a boat” see, now that’s Pure Gold right there, folks! lol. Any who, I’d love me some tickets! :) You guys rock!
My boyfriend and I just moved to Portland, and would love to see what this city is all about! Also I’ve never been on a party boat!
