Project Rising Star - Below the Decks Haunted Tour at The QE2 from 17 October to 2 November 2019.
For years, it's been locked away - hidden and forbidden. What happened below decks at the QE2?
What happened below decks?*
Not long after its launch in 1969, the QE2 was struggling to financially sustain operations.
The ship’s owners had many debates whether to scrap her or convert her entirely.
In 1972, an extensive refit was finally approved after a secretive group of investors unexpectedly pitched in funding.
However, this influential and shadowy group stipulated that one area of the ship be cordoned off and locked up for them, and only them, to use.
And for the decades that followed, no one was allowed in the space.
The only thing that came out was the occasion scream…
What was locked away? Why?
Only recently, with the ship docked in Dubai, was this space finally unlocked. In a decades-long scheme they codenamed Project Rising Star, a disturbing series of botched and failed human experiments were conducted.*
We open this space to the public this Halloween. From 17 October until 2 November 2019, experience it for yourself – if you can stomach it.
But beware of what – and who – was left behind…
The attraction is open most afternoons and evenings.
There are 3 “levels of terror” scheduled and admission is valid for entry any time during the time slot. Please note the immersive haunted experience lasts 30 minutes.
Level 1: A creepy exploration below the decks. Good for families, the faint of heart and those who scare easily (6+).
Level 2: A scary experience. Enter if you’re willing to risk losing a little sleep (12+).

* Is this Story Real?
The story blurs the lines of historic fact and fiction. It has been created for this experience. However, we may leave you guessing by the end whether it really is fiction…
