Sydney Harbour NYE Celebrations
You might be familiar with the venue I just mentioned—Sydney Harbour. This iconic harbour city plays host to this extravagant New Year celebration where tens of thousands of people gather for one of the best NYE festivities in the world. If you are looking for something like this, let me get you closer to making it happen.
The harbour is synonymous with cruising, and Sydney New Year’s Eve cruises are a rage with locals and tourists alike. From a premium glass boat to an authentic paddlewheeler with a live cabaret performance, and a family-friendly catamaran offering best-value cruise packages, there are unlimited NYE cruise options for you to choose from.
You can board a New Year’s cruise in Sydney offering six-hour cruises with an all-inclusive package comprising a freshly prepared deluxe dinner and premium Aussie drinks. This holistic experience lets you enjoy good times with friends and family, high-end restaurant-quality dining and treats you to unobstructed views of the stunning NYE fireworks display. A purely epic experience, right? Sydney New Year’s Eve cruises are not only about witnessing the best views of the NYE special fireworks but also about taking in the prime views of the illuminated harbour attractions including the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Opera House, Luna Park, and so on. What you need to keep in mind is the fact that all these cruises are in high demand, so it’s better to be an early bird and book your tickets in advance!
New Year Parties in Melbourne
Unlike London, New York, Paris, and Beijing that celebrate a white Christmas and New Year, Sydney and Melbourne bring in the New Year amidst sun, sand and surf — making them one of the most popular NYE destinations in the world.
There are many indoor as well as outdoor NYE parties in Melbourne. From discotheques to diners—it's all about choosing the perfect party venue. The Yarra River and Docklands is by far the most popular hub where thousands throng to enjoy the New Year’s Eve fireworks display, free music performances and other entertaining experiences.
You can check out Treasury Gardens near Parliament Station, Flagstaff Gardens near Flagstaff Station and King’s Domain near Flinders Street Station, to enjoy live DJ performances and fireworks displays at midnight. There are many themed NYE parties in the city including Masquerade parties, casual Bonfire parties, and even costume parties with casino and yesteryear themes. If flashy is not you, book your table at one of the many popular restaurants in Melbourne that offer special NYE dinners, with complimentary drinks, live shows and a dance floor to liven up this special evening.
If you are excited enough to celebrate the upcoming New Year’s Eve in Australia, book your tickets well in advance! Fabulous NYE festivities, brilliant fireworks displays, live music, dancing, and all things Aussie, await you!
