2020 Fireworks are going ahead

The NSW Government has confirmed Sydney’s New Year’s Eve fireworks will go ahead! The Lord Mayor is also encouraging people to watch this year’s display in a Covid-Safe environment. The vast majority of Sydneysiders will be watching from home on the television and only a limited number of tickets are available on cruises.

Our revised New Year’s Eve cruises have now been released with contactless check-in, cashless terminals, social distancing and a full range of Covid-Safe initiatives. Join us as the eyes of the world turn to Sydney Harbour on New Years Eve. There was never a better year to farewell and a new year more desired. Make sure your 2020 New Year’s Eve is memorable!

Frequently Asked Questions

Getting a good view?

Our New Year’s Eve Sydney Harbour Cruises comply with COVID-19 social distancing requirements, which means passenger numbers are greatly reduced. All of our boats have plenty of outside viewing deck space, which allows you to look up and around to see the fireworks.

Pickup and Dropoff?

Give some consideration to where you will board and disembark the vessel, New Year’s Eve is a busy night generally and will look very different in 2020 with strict access to the city centre.

If you are staying in the city, choose our Darling Harbour departure.
If you are from the northern beaches, choose our Manly departure.

Food and Drink?

This BYO New Year’s Eve Sydney Harbour Cruise allows you to bring your own food and drink.

All of our vessels have an onboard bar at which sparkling wine, red & white wine, a selection of beers, soft drinks and bottled water are available to purchase, however all licensed venues have restrictions on how much we can supply you, which means we (or any other venue) cannot server you to intoxication.
