New Year’s Eve in Sydney



The world is watching

The New Year’s Eve capital of the world awaits! While other parts of the world are still stuck in the past, Sydney is one of those very few major cities that gets to celebrate first! All eyes are on Sydney- and it never disappoints. With benchmarks high and over a million eyes transfixed, Sydney New Year’s Fireworks is quite the spectacle. Sydney sure knows how to party- especially when it’s a party of this scale and the entire planet’s invited!

Where can I see it from?

With visitors from all around Australia and from around the world, finding a spot to  relax and enjoy the fireworks isn’t a particularly easy task; you’d be lucky even if you’re able to find a comfortable spot to stand. If you don’t mind spending the last day of the year camping out at one of the vantage points, you can guarantee yourself a good spot. And we’re talking about camping out from noon on 31st of December, just to be clear. I’m definitely not up for that.

However, there is one other way- a New Year’s Eve Cruise in Sydney! Choose from tempting all-inclusive New Year’s Eve Cruise packages in Sydney and try to bag them at reduced prices while they’re at their early-bird rates! NYE cruises guarantee front-row access to the Sydney New Year fireworks and there are plenty of vessels you could choose from. Crowd favourites include Magistic New Year’s Eve cruise and the Sydney Showboat NYE cruise which offer delectable dining menus and a pretty comprehensive drinks packages to get that blood alcohol level spiking along with other exciting inclusions that ensure you’ll ring in 2020 in sophistication and style!

Humble Beginnings

Since its inception back in 1996, the Sydney New Year’s fireworks has, without a doubt, levelled up every single year. Designed by Syd Howard Fireworks, a ten-second pyrotechnic countdown with a comet shot off from buildings all the way from North Sydney upto AMP tower every second, ushered in 1997! While it was quite the spectacle at the time, its spectacular the rate to which it has evolved.

And Now..

The multi-tiered event, staged by the Sydney City Council, centred at the heart of the harbour now draws an audience of over 1.5 million eager participants from around the world and 1.1 billion reportedly watching the televised version.

A smaller firework display that happens at 9pm is ideal for families with kids. However, the pyrotechnic display that commences at the stroke of midnight is undoubtedly a true treat to the senses! The kaleidoscope of colours that brighten up the summer night skies reflecting off the cascading Sydney harbour waters. Mesmerising, to say the least. Starting the year off with a bang indeed- a firework display worth watching!

Stray away from the usual in ‘Straya this New Year’s Eve onboard a cruise! Don’t miss out celebrating in the harbour from your front-row seats that feels like the dress circle, to ring in 2020 in ultimate sophistication.

Make Time for those ‘Thank God It’s Friday’ Moments!

Whether you’re in Sydney or anywhere else in the world, the adage ‘All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy’ holds true for everybody! Who doesn’t need a break from the demands of work and the hectic routine of daily life? A little ‘me-time’ every now and then can work wonders on you, making you a more pleasant and productive person to be around! I speak from experience when I say, “If you find yourself losing focus, snapping at people, craving junk food and taking forever to get things done, you’ve definitely wound yourself into a tight spool that is just waiting to snap at the slightest trigger!” So why work yourself up into a frenzy that will eventually lead to a giant melt down at home or at work? If you can’t nip it in the bud, you have to do something about it before it’s too late. Planning a holiday may not always be practical; what you need is a quick-fix at timely intervals that helps you unwind and bring back a little magic to your life! And, in a city like Sydney,...

The Evolution of a Vivid Revolution in Sydney

Opera House in the Vivid Lights - Viewed from a Sydney harbour cruise What began as a smart light festival for energy efficiency in Sydney has turned into one of the most instagrammed events in the world today. Winter in Sydney was so bleak that it was said that you could streak naked through Circular Quay and there wouldn’t be a soul out there to gawk! But Vivid Sydney, a tourism NSW initiative , completely changed the face of May and June in Sydney. Forget streaking naked, today, you’d be battling crowds just to get hundred feet ahead. As summer faded into winter in 2009, the inaugural Vivid Lights Festival was launched in the hope of attracting creative minds to come up with greener ways to maximize energy efficiency and to bump up winter visitor numbers. It was originally meant to incorporate four festivals in one – a harbourside light festival, a music festival, a creative talk-fest and a fire & water show that recreated the explosion of a convict ship. ...
