Please note that exact departure, cruising and return times may be adjusted due to official New Year’s Eve harbour restrictions, maritime traffic and operational requirements. The vessel’s position will be determined by the designated exclusion zones and directions issued by maritime authorities. Specific views, locations and uninterrupted sightlines cannot be guaranteed.

Guests must arrive well before the nominated boarding time, as access to the Sydney CBD and Darling Harbour can be heavily restricted on New Year’s Eve. Late passengers cannot be accommodated once the vessel has departed.
