The Crossing of the Damned Halloween Cruise

Ile de la Cite, Paris



Embark on a terrifying and immersive evening on the waters of the Seine with this Halloween cruise. Solve mystical puzzles and gather secret information to confront your fears.

Description

Embark on a terrifying and immersive evening, where the sinister tale of Alzébiel, the cursed witch, comes to life on the waters of the Seine. Get ready to face your worst nightmares in a haunting and eerie atmosphere aboard a haunted boat.

In 1319, on the Île de la Cité, Alzébiel, a feared witch, was burned alive for her diabolical deeds. As she perished, she cast a curse, vowing to return and torment Paris. Today, as you embark on a peaceful cruise, Alzébiel's vengeful spirit resurfaces, determined to open the gates of hell and sink the ship.

As night falls, damned souls rise from the depths, ready to haunt the passengers. Every shadow, every gust of wind, bears the witch’s mark. Specters roam the decks, sinister laughter echoes, and the air fills with ominous whispers.

Fortunately, Professor Dunoyer, a renowned occultist, is on board. Aware of the signs of Alzébiel's return, he is prepared to intervene. He reveals that the curse can be broken, but only if the passengers unite. To survive, you must gather secret information throughout the boat.

Together, you will uncover clues, solve mystical puzzles, and confront your fears. Only flawless cooperation can send Alzébiel and her minions back to hell.

This cruise is available on the 29 October, 30 October and 31 October 2026.
