Get Ready for Fun on Your Atlantis Halloween Cruise Next Month
Here Are Your Party Themes!

It’s time to prepare for a spooky good time on our Halloween San Diego to Mexico Cruise.  This is the first of several emails you’ll receive to prepare you for your vacation with Atlantis and this is all about dressing up!  Look below for information on the party themes for next month’s Halloween extravaganza.

Our Party Themes
Koningsdam has a sensational pool deck that’s perfect for our parties in all types of weather. We can literally close the roof if it gets cold or windy and make sure everyone has fun in comfort.

As you’d expect on our Halloween cruise, we’re leaning into the spirit(s) a bit more than usual, but don’t panic.  Costumes are always optional and we want you to enjoy it all regardless of your desire to dress the part.  Being a spectator can be just as much fun!

Solid Gold Medalists The Olympics have passed, but their spirit lives on with a party about sport, sportsmen, and all the pageantry that make us watch every four years. Head out ready to compete or coach or arrive decked out in your favorite country’s ceremonial best. Or just be that fan who finally got a ticket to men’s gymnastics.
Ghost Ship As the clock strikes midnight on Halloween, our ship suddenly disappears into the night, shrouded in darkness and filled with creatures from beyond our world. Time stops, past & present merge, and nobody knows who’s alive or not as every manner of ghost, forgotten crew member, faded star, and terrifying standard cruise passenger roam the decks.

 

You’re invited to tour our haunted hull at your own risk to witness the transformation for yourself. Just be back on deck for a spirited costume parade and a full gathering of the LGBT (Lost, Ghostly, Bizarre, and Terrifying) community on the dance floor.
Heavenly White Our ship returns to the light when saints, angels, and other celestial creatures descend on the decks for an epic all-saints-night party of heavenly proportions.  Wear white – any way that suits you – for the party that brings everyone together in one simple color.
Dog Tag T-Dance The troops come home for Atlantis’ longest-running signature afternoon party. Show your creative strength at our first big outdoor party inspired by the joys of men in (small) uniforms. We’ll provide souvenir dog tags; you do the rest.
Day of the Disco Dead It’s gonna be one thriller of an afternoon filled with the demons of the dance floor that never stopped moving as we celebrate the music that never dies from the heyday of the Disco era.

Bring out the unnatural fabrics and fashions that continue to haunt us, with a little Halloween twist. Think long lost divas, dance floor zombies, DJs from hell, celebrity ghosts behaving badly, or that guy who never seems to go home.

Classic 70’s and early 80’s music will transport you to a time long before we were all born. Right?

Think Pink T-Dance Pink is in! You cannot escape it so let’s throw it into the silliest t-dance Atlantis has ever created. From Barbie butch to fluffy fantastic, throw on your favorite interpretation for a hot afternoon of frivolous dolled up fun.

 


So what’s next?  Watch your inbox for registration information late next week.

Thank you again for selecting Atlantis for your vacation.  We can’t wait to see you in San Diego for this spookily amazing experience!

Warm regards,
Rich, James, Ben, Marino, and the rest of team Atlantis!

Communications Timeline

About Three Weeks Before Departure
Register for your cruise with the instructions that we’ll provide by email. You’ll need to provide passport information and other details directly to our cruise lines to complete your registration. We typically send out this information by email about a month prior to sailing. If you’re booking within a month of departure, it might take a little longer for us to add you to the cruise line’s manifest.

Pre-Order Shore Excursions. We work closely with our cruise lines to create exciting shore excursions just for our guests. These optional tours are the best way to see these amazing places in the company of your friends onboard. Space is often limited, so booking in advance is the best way to plan!

Review our preliminary schedule including party themes. We try to keep our party themes simple enough that you don’t have to worry about them long in advance. You can create a sensational outfit, shop for something fun, or simply come as you are — either way you’ll fit right in and have a great time. Themes for your cruise will be sent by email and posted right here on the “Already Booked” page about 3 weeks prior to departure.

Two Weeks Before Departure
Read Our Cruise Vacation Guide with valuable information about your ship, the entertainment, our ports, packing advice, and so much more. We’ll notify you by email once this document is available for download.

The Last Days Before Departure
Check your email for any last-minute communications regarding boarding advice, weather updates, parties in our departure city, and other things that might come up.
