New Year's Eve Fireworks Yacht Cruise aboard the Amelia Rose

Ring in the New Year from the water with panoramic views of the fireworks and a glass of Champagne in hand.


This New Year's Eve fireworks yacht cruise offers a distinctive vantage point to watch the celebrations unfold across the city skyline and surrounding towns. Departing from the harbor aboard the Amelia Rose, guests enjoy three panoramic decks and the possibility of witnessing the Northern Lights on a clear night. A complimentary glass of Champagne at midnight makes this a genuinely memorable way to welcome the New Year.

The Amelia Rose is a well-appointed yacht with three open panoramic decks designed to give every guest an unobstructed view of the coastal fireworks displays. Being out on the water removes the crowds and noise of the city while keeping the spectacle front and center. The cruise returns approximately half an hour after midnight, giving guests time to enjoy the atmosphere before heading ashore.

On clear evenings, the skies above the harbor offer the rare prospect of spotting the Northern Lights alongside the fireworks. The combination of natural phenomena and man-made celebration makes this cruise unlike a standard New Year's Eve event. Layers of warm clothing are recommended for the open decks.

The vessel's layout ensures that guests at every deck level have a clear sightline to the coastline and the fireworks overhead. Staff will distribute Champagne as midnight approaches so no one misses the toast. The relaxed pace of the cruise allows guests to move between decks throughout the evening.

Board the Amelia Rose, a purpose-fitted yacht with three panoramic viewing decks for unobstructed sightlines in every direction.

Watch the world-famous New Year's Eve fireworks from the sea, covering both the city skyline and surrounding coastal towns simultaneously.

Receive a complimentary glass of Champagne as midnight approaches and raise a toast to the New Year with fellow passengers.

On clear evenings, the open water position of the yacht provides an exceptional opportunity to observe the Northern Lights.

Enjoy unrestricted coastal panoramas from multiple deck levels throughout the 2.5-hour cruise.
