NEW YEAR'S EVE SYDNEY – Blogs, News & Updates

With a footfall of over a million people from around the world, Sydney Harbour is one of the most popular locations to ring in the New Year. For uninterrupted views of the annual fireworks extravaganza, pre-booking your NYE plans is the wisest option. Sydney Harbour being at the heart of all festivities, attracts swarms of crowds eager to catch a glimpse of the fireworks display. Bypass the congested shore-fronts and enjoy a premium location on board a New Year’s Eve cruise in Sydney. In 2021, however, there will be strict restrictions in place due to the pandemic. You can still opt for a New Year’ Eve cruise as it offers a guaranteed safe space for celebration.

The best places to view New Year’s Eve fireworks on Sydney Harbour may be too crowded for you to enjoy the sights. Go on a Sydney Harbour New Year’s Eve cruise and get the best of both worlds: enjoy the sights and indulge in a delicious meal while you’re at it, on cruises that are a minimum of 6 hours long! Every year, the fireworks explode off the arches of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, its catwalk and the roadway. The Opera House, the nearby city buildings and up to seven barges evenly divided on each side of the bridge also contribute to the marvellous pyrotechnics. The fireworks are usually synchronised to a soundtrack of popular music from different ages.

Summers in Sydney differ from everywhere else… Do you know the reason? Sydney summers bring with it Christmas & New Year celebrations. Offering all the more to anticipate for all Sydneysiders, summers in the Southern hemisphere tell a different story of sun, sea and sand in stark contrast to that of snow and snowmen all around the globe.
