The View You’ll Never Forget

Constellation Sydney NYE Cruise

Boats for Every Experience

Common sydney harbour nye cruise questions:, where does the nye cruise start.

Your Sydney Harbour wharf location will differ depending on your NYE boat cruise. Most bigger boats depart from King St Wharf in Darling Harbour, but some pick up from other wharves around Circular Quay or around the Rocks. Please read the cruise description and check your tickets for when to meet your boat and where.

What should I expect on an NYE cruise?

Departing from close to the city, you’ll get to see all the beautiful sights on Sydney Harbour. Your NYE cruises will head past the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge and find an incredible spot to view the 9pm and midnight NYE fireworks from Sydney Harbour.

Most NYE cruises will offer a food and drink package and entertainment like a DJ or band on the boat.

Make sure your camera is ready for that incredible photos, and let the countdown begin!

Will my NYE cruise enter the parade of lights?

On NYE, many boats take part in the parade of lights. These boats are lit up as they make their way around Sydney Harbour leading up to the countdown. When boats enter this parade of lights, they get special access to the exclusion zone.

Boat entries are not determined until two months before NYE. Please ask us if your preferred boat will likely participate in this New Year’s parade of lights for your cruise.

What happens on an NYE cruise in bad weather?

In bad weather, boats will still go out on the Harbour on NYE. Boat cruise cancellations don’t occur in rainy weather unless the weather is deemed unsafe. With many of the NYE cruises, these boats offer ample interior space, so the weather would not affect you.

For a complete list of cancellation policies, please read each boat cruise’s terms and conditions carefully.

What’s included in my NYE boat cruise?

The NYE cruise is the best way to experience the Sydney fireworks. The view from the water is incredible and a memory you’ll never forget. For each boat cruise, what comes included will be different. Most NYE boat cruises include food, drinks (beer, wine, sparkling, and soft drinks) and entertainment on the night. You’ll be in prime position to watch the 9 pm and midnight fireworks.

Please read the tour description carefully to ensure what to expect on the water.

Are there bathrooms on my NYE boat cruise?

The boat cruises will have a bathroom on board. Many of the bigger NYE cruise boats offer full bathrooms with stalls similar to a venue on land.

Please remember that these may be marine toilets for boats with bathrooms on board. Only put what comes out of you into the toilet. Ensure you read any instructions in the bathroom for properly operating the restroom or check with the crew on board.

What should I bring on my NYE cruise?

Your boat cruise will be on Sydney Harbour and will typically include all your food and drinks. Dress appropriately for the weather, and please take note of the NYE dress code for your boat cruise. Some boats do have a dress code you would be required to follow. For cooler evenings, make sure you have something warm. Bring comfortable shoes and heels are typically not allowed on the ship for safety reasons and to ensure they don’t damage the floor.

Each cruise is different, so read the what to bring section in the boat cruise description.

These are the best Sydney NYE cruises to book right now

Take to the Harbour for front row seats to the start of 2022

Maxim Boon

Update, December 23: In light of the surge of cases, many Sydney venues are cancelling NYE events. Call ahead of your visit to confirm if celebrations are taking place as planned.

In Sydney, ringing in the new year is a go-big-or-stay-home affair. But this year, the celebrations will be even bigger, we suspect. We’ve spent a quarter of the year indoors, and if you're anything like us, you've got some catching up to do when it comes to big nights out. So, why not spend your last hoorah of the year in the company of Sydney's greatest icons, the Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House, on a New Year's cruise?

We’ve curated a list of the best you can book right now to secure the well-earned fun you and your mates deserve. Most of the cruise experiences come inclusive of food and drink, so all you need to worry about is having a damn good time.

Starship Sydney

Behold Australia’s largest glass boat, Starship Sydney. Spend your whole NYE on board, indulging in an all-inclusive evening of canapes, cocktails, Australian beers and premium wines, and three entertainment levels, which includes two decks of DJs. Starship Sydney offers an excellent view of the midnight fireworks display, departing from King Street Wharf at 7.30pm and returning at 1am. Tickets are on sale now from $750 per person.   

Harbourside Cruises

All aboard the Harbour Spirit, a luxury catamaran that you can hop on for NYE this year. Equipped with gorgeous contemporary interiors and two spacious decks, this 5.5 hour Sydney Harbour party cruise serves up epic views of the fireworks from inside and outside the boat. For $550 per person, enjoy bottomless beer, wine, and soft drink, constant service of appetisers and canapes, and non-stop party bangers on the dancefloor. Departs from Pyrmont at 7:15 pm and returns at 1 am.  

Yeah Buoy NYE Boat Party

A three-level boat party with 360-degree unobstructed views of the fireworks? We’re 1000% in. Departing from Port Jackson at 5.30pm, this 7.5hr all-inclusive cruise is the ultimate NYE treat. Live DJs all night, live entertainment, karaoke bar, a luxury seafood buffet, cocktail bar, grazing tables, drink service, and even casino table – you can’t really go wrong. Get your boogie on at Yeah Buoy. Tickets start from $600 per person.  

Showboat Art Deco New Year’s Eve Fireworks Cruise

If you’re looking for something a little fancier, look no further than this all-inclusive cruise on the luxurious Sydney Showboat II. Guests can expect to take up the Azure Deck, which is a private third-level area hosting only 60 people (max comfort guaranteed). A deluxe 5-course seated dinner will be served, with premium beverages available for the entire night, alongside a DJ and dancing—the way we all want to enter the new year, right? Tickets are $850 per person.

Fast Ferry Cruises

NYE doesn’t have to cost you an arm and a leg. Which, most of the time it does. If you want to jump on a New Year’s Eve cruise without spending more than a few hundred, choose Fast Ferry Cruises. Starting at $200 per person, these shorter 2.5hr cruises are BYO food and drinks and run for either the 9 pm or midnight fireworks, departing from Manly, Rose Bay, or Darling Harbour.  

Le Bleu 

If you’re an avid fan of electronic dance music and are ready to spend NYE with banging tunes and boogies, you can’t go past a ride on Le Bleu. The night features an exclusive DJ set from BINARY and Alvin Chan and the best possible views of the fireworks, which means you’ll be starting 2022 off with a big bang (and not just ‘cos of the fireworks). There’ll be a Belvedere Vodka on arrival, sushi platters to munch on during the night, and of course a glass of Moet Chandon champagne at midnight. Tickets are $500 plus a small booking fee.  

Bella Vista New Year’s Eve Cruise

Welcome in the new year aboard a luxury glass vessel with 3m high wraparound windows, giving you a prime position for the midnight fireworks. With spacious decks at the front and back and top of the boat, there’ll be plenty of room for all the activities on this all-inclusive 5.5hr cruise. Not to mention delicious canapes, a standing buffet menu and desserts, and a state of the art sound system to have you dancing into 2022. Tickets are $799 per person, but it’s all about the experience this NYE.   

Sydney 2000 Cruise

This NYE is all about making up for the lost time. And sometimes, doing that over a decadent dinner is the best way to do that. Cruise into 2022 onboard the Sydney 2000, a vessel that has been floating in the exclusion zone for over 20 years. This means it won’t be a problem getting an incredible view of the midnight fireworks. With prices starting at $799 per person, you can choose from three luxurious decks, each with all-inclusive food, premium drinks, and live entertainment. The cruise departs from King Street Wharf at 7.30pm and returns at 1am.

Rocket Cruise

Looking for a more affordable cruise option but want to stay on the boat for more than a couple of hours? Well then, Rocket Cruise has your NYE sorted. 5.5 hours of relaxed cruising, indoor and outdoor ferry seating, BYO drinks and picnic, and positioned in a viewing area outside of the exclusion zone for the fireworks display. All for $499 per person, departing from King Street Wharf at 7.30 pm and returning at 1 am.  

Aussie Magic New Year’s Eve Cruise

Step into the new year in style on board Aussie Magic, a stylish 26-metre catamaran with a super spacious outdoor entertaining deck. Catch jaw-dropping views of the midnight fireworks after enjoying a night of cocktail style dining—canapes, buffet, free-flowing drinks, which are all included in the $650 per person price. But for 5.5 hours of cruising around the harbour with your nearest and dearest, it’s a big treat yourself kind of night every Sydneysider should experience at least once. Aussie Magic departs from Star City Casino Wharf at 7.30pm and returns around 1am.  

My Way New Year’s Eve Cruise

Leave 2021 behind your way. The newly refurbished My Way vessel is ready for NYE, and so are we. Revel under the sparkling city lights as the sun goes down and enjoy a picturesque vista of the midnight fireworks from inside the exclusion zone, all the while enjoying the all-inclusive perks of a good NYE cruise: chef’s selection of canapes, buffet menu, music, and more. The two dining rooms are fully air-conditioned too, so the humidity won’t be a problem at all. There’s limited seating aboard My Way – with only 100 seats – so you’ll want to get in quick to secure a spot on a less-crowded cruise.

Tall Ship Dinner Cruise

Most NYE cruises around Sydney are on modernised boats. But why not take a step on the traditional sailing boat side this New Year’s? Choose between three tall ships for an unforgettable dinner cruise on the harbour, all offering front-row views of the fireworks. Dine on fresh seafood, gourmet barbecue, and more, accompanied by bottomless wine, beer, soft drinks, and live music during the 5.5-hour cruise. Prices start at $550 per person, which is a great deal for an all-inclusive NYE cruise.

Vagabond Spirit NYE

Jump aboard one of the newer vessels in Sydney Harbour to celebrate the new year in all-inclusive style. The MV Vagabond Spirit will surely get you into the party mood, with party streamers and party hats handed out and an all-night DJ and light show across two levels. In the food department, dig into a gorgeous menu, which includes tempting appetisers, a seafood buffet and carvery, and decadent desserts freshly cooked on board. There’ll also be an open bar, with premium brand drinks, including spirits. The large observation deck offers 360-degree views of Sydney Harbour, so it’s a perfect spot to watch the fireworks. At $725 per person for six hours of cruising fun, Vagabond Spirit NYE is the ultimate way to ring in the new year.  

Glass Island

Add a sprinkle of glamour to your New Year’s Eve with a night on the glorious Glass Island cruise. Prices start at $565.95 and include a 3-hour beverage package of beer, wine, cider, sparkling and soft drinks, canapes, gourmet food stations, and a glass of Moet Chandon at midnight while watching the spectacular fireworks display. Glass Island will take you one of the best spots in the harbour too, departing from King Street Wharf at 8.50pm sharp and returning at 12.30am.  

Waratah New Year’s Eve Cruise

Fancy to spend your NYE on the beautiful heritage boat, Waratah? This 1902 steam tug will not only have you feeling like you’ve just stepped back in time and offers epic viewing of both the 9pm and midnight firework displays. It’s BYO dinner, snacks, and beverages on Waratah, so at least you’ll be able to bring your favourites goodies on board. Waratah will depart from Pyrmont at 7pm and return around 1am.  

Magistic Cruises 

This whopping 7.25-hour cruise includes everything you could possibly need to tick off your NYE cruise bucket list—gourmet seafood buffet (including fresh king prawns), premium beer, wine, and spirits, DJ and dancing on board, fireworks views from inside the exclusion zone. You can’t go wrong. You can check also out the delicious food menu on the Magistic Cruises website .   

Starship Aqua

Celebrate the New Year’s Eve festivities on the two-level glass boat, Starship Aqua, which boasts pristine views at each glance. This 6-hour cruise has all-inclusive canapes and food stalls, Australian beers and premium wines, non-allocated seating, and of course a DJ throwing down non-stop tunes to get you moving throughout the night. Prices start at $650 per person and the cruise will depart from King Street Wharf at 7.30 pm and returns at 1am.

Client Testimonials

“ Marie Khoury “ We recently had our Annual Law Cruise with All Occasions and I could not recommend them more for a uni social! The Bella Vista vessel in particular was the perfect space for dancing and mingling with our 600 guests. Jacqui (event coordinator) was so helpful, patient and communicative throughout the entire planning process and we will most certainly reach out for future events. We heard only glowing feedback from our guests and the night could not have gone better! Thanks again Jacqui and team! ”
“ Anne Wilson “ We very much enjoyed our Vivid Cruise. Nice and warm inside, plenty of room to move inside and outside. Food was good. Lights and sights were great. Staff werefriendly and helpful. I would sail with All Occasion Cruises again. ”
“ Stephen Welsh “ I have cruised with AOC on two occasions now. Once on their New Year's Eve cruise, the other on a Vivid cruise. I thoroughly enjoyed both occasions. Their staff are courteous and attentive, and the food lovely. AOC has provided what they promised. I highly recommend them! ”
“ St Ives Preschool “ I went on an 2023 Australia Day lunch cruise on Bella Vista. The food was plentiful and very good quality. The staff were courteous and only too happy to help if I had a question. This cruise was very good value for the money. ”

Best places to celebrate New Year 2022 in Moscow

Photo by  Daniil Silantev  on  Unsplash

  • Festive fairs : browse handmade souvenirs and national handicrafts, sip mulled wine and nibble waffles and blini, and admire the sparkling New Year’s decorations at dozens of fairs and markets dotted around Moscow
  • The lap of luxury: if elite celebrations are more your thing, then Moscow does not disappoint. See in the New Year in style at the capital’s 5* hotels and restaurants, with festive programmes, caviar and lobster buffets, and champagne that doesn’t stop flowing…
  • Family friendly fun: Russian New Year is a holiday for all the family. Will your kids enjoy a sumptuous banquet with Ded Moroz, chocolate tasting on Europe’s highest observation deck, or miraculous ice skating performances by Olympic champion figure skaters?
  • Outdoor entertainment: if you’re more of an adventurous type, then New Year’s in Moscow has got you covered – ice rinks and ice slides are the best way to enjoy the wintery wonderland!

New Year’s in Moscow

Celebrating New Year’s is all about the fizz, the fun and the glamour, the city lights shining and the champagne flowing. So, where better place could there possibly be to celebrate this momentous event, than in the biggest city in Europe – Moscow? Bigger is better when it comes to New Year’s, and Moscow doesn’t need to be told twice. For Russians, it is the most important holiday in the calendar – this joyous day is like Christmas and New Year’s all rolled into one. Unlike in Europe and the U.S., where New Year marks the end of the festive period, in Russia the 31 st December is just the beginning and kicks off the holidays that fill those first cold weeks of January. Now is the moment for Russians to really let their hair down and party – will you join them?

Festive fairs

Journey to christmas.

Moscow’s largest celebration is the ‘Journey to Christmas’, with festive events held for several weeks from December to January all over the city. There are fun events for all ages and interests – kids’ shows for the little ones, music for Moscow’s young people, ice rinks and slides for the adventurous ones, markets for foodies, the list goes on… Each of the 27 festival sites around Moscow has a different theme based on Christmas and New Year’s traditions from around the world. Some of the highlights of 2021/22’s Journey to Christmas include:

  • Merchant Christmas at Revolution Square: one of the richest and brightest celebrations in the capital. The theme of this year is medieval Moscow merchants and boyars, so you can expect lots of red, gold and furs, and traditional Russian-style pavilions and decorations peddling festive foods and fun, located in the very heart of Moscow. 
  • Christmas Masquerade Ball on Tverskaya Square: have your masks at the ready (yes, those ones too…) to visit the Christmas Masquerade Ball in front of the Moscow City Hall on Tverskaya Square. Decorated with illuminated archways, fir trees, nutcrackers, masquerade masks, and a homely centrepiece with a fireplace and candles, this is sure to warm the heart of anyone who visits!
  • Scandinavian Christmas on Novy Arbat: get some holiday hygge on the Novy Arbat, where four festivals merge into one on this sweeping street. Here you’ll find a mini forest of decorated Christmas trees, cute, Scandi-style pavilions, and a beautiful carousel at the centre.

Moscow’s most famous festive fair takes place on Red Square. The GUM Fair, organised by the famed department store, is the perfect place to bathe in festive cheer and stock up on New Year’s and Christmas treats with a backdrop of the Kremlin and St Basil’s Cathedral. Here you can find national souvenirs such as decorated felt boots, knitted mittens, Orenburg and Pavlovo Posad shawls and other artistic folk crafts, and warm up from the cold with mulled wine, aromatic sbiten (a honey drink), Russian pancakes, fried Bavarian sausages, Viennese waffles, hot chestnuts and other delights.

The lap of luxury

City of crystals at quadrum, four seasons hotel.

The Four Seasons is one of Moscow’s most opulent hotels, and it organises New Year’s parties to match. At this year’s party, the City of Crystals, guests will celebrate like imperial aristocrats: the program includes ballet, singing and magic performances, traditional Russian plays, an impressive raffle, and DJ sets so you can dance the night away – all with a view of the snow-covered Moscow Kremlin unfolding below. The entertainment will be accompanied by a gastronomic journey of luxury delicacies from across the world – from tuna tataki with truffle ponzu to Kamchatka crab salad with sturgeon caviar. And of course, the champagne will be flowing all night long!

Contact the Four Seasons for New Year’s prices.

Royal Night at the Baltschug Kempinski Hotel

See in the New Year in style at the Kempinski’s Royal Night parties in the Baltschug Grill & Café Kranzler, Panoramic Moskva, and the Library Room.

  • A buffet dinner, French champagne and Russian vodka awaits guests in the Baltschug Grill & Café Kranzler. Also on the menu is a DJ set and festive show programme. 
  • The Panoramic Moskva ballroom is a truly opulent setting for your celebration, offering sweeping views over the Kremlin, Red Square and St Basil’s Cathedral. Guests will enjoy a gala dinner of Russian and European cuisine to a background of festive live music, and can enjoy the magic of Red Square’s fireworks from the comfort of the ballroom.
  • Kempinski’s New Year’s gala in their signature Library Room is something a little more special. Guests can enjoy the gourmet buffet and sip free-flowing champagne, vodka and whisky while dancing the night away to a private DJ. Best of all – the Library Room spills out onto a panoramic terrace, offering the ultimate picture-postcard views over Red Square and the Kremlin.

All these New Year’s packages include a complimentary overnight stay on 31 st December and late check out at 3pm. Baltschug Grill package costs 49,500 roubles per person; Panoramic Moskva package 78,000 per person (also includes a Royal Festive Breakfast with Prosecco from 8am to 1pm on 1 st January); Library Room package 96,000 roubles per person (also includes Royal Festive Breakfast).

Festive bonanza at Turandot

Moscow’s elite restaurant, Turandot, is famous for its extravagant celebrations over the festive period. And this year’s certainly don’t disappoint!

The theme of Turandot’s New Year’s party is the gloss, glamour and fun of the 1970s disco! Legendary New York nightclub Studio 54 meets Moscow party vibes, with live music from Sergey Lazarev and Christina Orbakaite, a cocktail-and-disco-glam dress code and a 6-course chef’s menu. Ticket prices are not for the faint of heart, ranging from 55,000 – 199,000 roubles per person, but this truly will be a New Year’s like no other in one of Moscow’s most fashionable restaurants.

If you’re more of an early bird than a night owl, then Turandot’s Christmas Brunch has you covered. It is held from the 7 th -9 th January to celebrate Old Russian Christmas. Pan-European and Asian cuisine and an open bar await you, with dishes including traditional Russian salads and pancakes with crab, champagne sauce and caviar, and you’ll dine in the spectacular Florentine Courtyard, surrounded by unique palace interiors decorated in chinoiserie style. Brunch costs 6,950 roubles including alcohol per adult, 2,450 roubles for kids up to 12 years old.

New Year’s at the Metropol Hotel

One of the most historic hotels in Moscow invites you to its illustrious New Year’s celebration, which promises a fully immersive experience of light, sound, music and dancing. A live band and DJ set will keep the party going, and a ballet performance and magic show will ensure that the excitement doesn’t stop even for a moment. With a festive menu designed by chef Andrei Shmakov and unlimited alcoholic drinks, guests can eat and drink to their hearts content. Little guests are looked after, too, with a kids’ entertainment program.

Tickets start from 55,000 roubles. The night kicks off with a welcome reception at 8:30pm, and the New Year’s celebration begins at 10pm.

Family friendly fun

Panorama360.

Some might say that if you’ve seen one New Year’s celebration, you’ve seen them all – festive trees, singing and dancing, Olivier Salad... If you’re one of these people, then look no further than Panorama360 in Moscow City. Located on the 89 th floor of the Federation Tower, Panorama360 is a place of hyperbole – Europe’s highest observation deck, ice cream and chocolate shop, and now, Europe’s highest New Year’s celebration! Your kids will be in heaven with Panorama360’s New Year’s programme, involving interactive science, magic and light shows, TikTok making with Panorama360’s polar bear mascot, unlimited chocolate and ice cream tasting, festive gifts, and of course access to the observation deck with an unparalleled view over Moscow.

Kids’ New Year at Baltschug Kempinski Hotel

For parents who want to see in the New Year in style, but want an equally exciting experience for their little ones, Kempinski delivers. At the centre of their Kids’ New Year celebrations is Ded Moroz, and his team of professional actors will help make the evening a truly special one. Kids can look forward to dancing around the New Year’s tree, sweet treats and gifts, and a festive menu.

The Snow Queen at Turandot

There’s something at Turandot for all the family – on 5th January, the restaurant will host a New Year's fairy tale "The Snow Queen". The opulent Silver Hall will be transformed into the castle of the Snow Queen, serving a multi-cuisine brunch of more than 20 dishes crafted by Turandot’s chef, Dmitry Eremeev. Festive entertainment includes masterclasses and a disco, and the festivities end with sweet treats from Ded Moroz and Snegurochka.

Magical ice performances

What do you get if you cross Russian ballet, classical music, folklore and wintery weather? Magical New Year’s performances on ice, that’s what! Highlights of the New Year’s repertoire in Moscow include:

  • The Nutcracker at the VTB Arena Park: enter the magical kingdom of Christmas with a magnificent ice production based on Tchaikovsky’s classic ballet. 
  • The Snow Queen at Luzhniki: Hans Christian Anderson’s festive fairy tale is brought to life in this New Year’s extravaganza, where the main roles are performed by Russian Olympic champion figure skaters.
  • Swan Lake at Megasport Palace of Sport: another of Tchaikovsky’s famous ballets is transformed into an ice show merging figure skating, classical choreography and acrobatics.

Outdoor entertainment

Fantastic fireworks.

Holding glorious firework displays on holidays has been a Russian tradition since the times of Peter the Great – New Year without fireworks is like New Year without a tree or Olivier Salad! There are locations all over the city where Muscovites can enjoy the beautiful show, but the main firework display begins at midnight on Bolshoy Zamoskvorechy Bridge next to Red Square. Those lucky enough to be in nearby parks, squares and streets will experience 50,000 fireworks released into the sky, a dazzling display welcoming 2022. As this is the most magnificent display in the country, the surrounding streets are packed. Many Muscovites choose to watch the display on television, or head to smaller, but no less wondrous displays elsewhere in the city:

  • Hermitage Garden
  • VDNKh Michurinsky Garden
  • Bauman Garden
  • Izmailovsky Park
  • Sokolniki Park
  • On the Moskva River, opposite Luzhniki Stadium
  • Victory (Pobedy) Park on Poklonnaya Gora

Ice skating and slides

As part of the Journey to Christmas festival, there are 18 ice rinks spread across Moscow where you can skate for free! Aside from these, Moscow’s famous parks make the most of the frozen temperatures to open ice rinks. They include Gorky Park, Izmailovsky Park, Sokolniki Park and Babushkinsky Park. If you prefer a more adrenaline-filled activity, then you’re in luck – ice slides are hugely popular in Russia, and the best ones can be found on Red Square, in the Hermitage Garden, VDNKh, Luzhniki, Bauman Garden, Sokolniki Park and Izmailovsky Park.
