Welcome the New Year from the waters of Sydney Harbour on a special two-hour cruise timed around Sydney’s world-famous midnight fireworks display.

Departing from Sydney Aquarium Wharf at approximately 10:45pm, this cruise is designed for international visitors, interstate travellers, hotel guests and locals looking for a straightforward and memorable way to experience New Year’s Eve on the harbour.

After boarding at Darling Harbour, the vessel will cruise toward its designated New Year’s Eve viewing area. Enjoy the atmosphere aboard as midnight approaches, then celebrate the arrival of the New Year while the fireworks illuminate the city and harbour.

The vessel will return to Sydney Aquarium Wharf after the display, with the final return time confirmed closer to the event.

Please note that Sydney Harbour operates under strict maritime controls on New Year’s Eve. Exact departure times, cruising routes, viewing positions and return times may change according to official exclusion zones, vessel traffic and directions from maritime authorities.

While every reasonable effort will be made to obtain a suitable viewing position, a specific location, landmark backdrop or uninterrupted view of every part of the display cannot be guaranteed.

Guests must plan their journey carefully. Road closures, pedestrian control zones, public transport changes and large crowds may significantly affect access to Darling Harbour. Guests should arrive well before the advised check-in time. The vessel cannot delay departure or return for late passengers.
