New Year Party In Dubai Marina

Bring in the New Year aboard a traditionally decorated dhow as it cruises the waters of Dubai Marina, with the skyline lit up and fireworks marking the turn of the year. The evening runs for three hours, combining a sit-down buffet dinner with live entertainment and a midnight countdown on the water, making it a straightforward way to spend New Year's Eve without arranging a separate dinner and viewing point for the fireworks.

Cruising Dubai Marina after dark

Once onboard, settle into the air-conditioned lower deck or head up to the open-air upper deck for uninterrupted views as the dhow glides past the marina's yacht club and towers. Live music and entertainment run through the cruise, keeping the mood festive from boarding through to midnight, with the option to move between decks over the course of the evening as you like.

Dinner, dessert, and the midnight toast

An international buffet with vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes is served at the table, alongside fruit and a glass of champagne for the midnight toast. As the countdown begins, a New Year cake is cut and shared while the cruise continues along the marina waterfront, with the dhow positioned to give guests a clear view of the fireworks lighting up the skyline overhead.

The atmosphere builds through the evening as live entertainment keeps pace with the buffet service, so there is always something to watch between courses. By the time midnight arrives, most guests have settled onto whichever deck offers their preferred view of the marina and the fireworks display.

There is no hotel pickup for this cruise, so guests make their own way to the boarding point in Dubai Marina ahead of the reporting time. Rayna's team manages the booking and voucher for the evening, so any questions before the night can be directed straight to them rather than left unanswered until boarding.
