Description

Celebrate the Icelandic New Year countdown in the best way possible with a lively boat tour in Reykjavik. Enjoy fireworks from the water, a glass of champagne at midnight, and the chance to spot the northern lights on this unforgettable 2-hour evening cruise.

This unique New Year’s Eve experience is perfect for anyone looking to celebrate in style, away from the crowded streets. You’ll have front-row seats to Reykjavik’s biggest celebration, with fireworks bursting across the sky and the calm waters of the bay beneath you. It’s an experience few get to enjoy, turning your holiday into a memory you’ll talk about for years to come.

On this special New Year celebration, you’ll hop aboard the Sailor, a traditional Icelandic-style whale-watching boat transformed into the perfect celebration venue. Departing from Reykjavik’s Old Harbor at 22:30, this special night on the water offers breathtaking views of the city skyline and the dazzling fireworks that light up the midnight sky.

From the moment you step on board, you’ll be welcomed into a warm and festive atmosphere. The Sailor is known for its charm and comfort, featuring three spacious panoramic decks that allow you to enjoy sweeping views in every direction. 

As the yacht sails away from the harbor, you’ll cruise along Reykjavik’s coastline and out into Faxafloi Bay. As midnight approaches, you’ll be handed a complimentary glass of champagne to toast the New Year. Gather with fellow passengers on deck as the clock strikes twelve and the capital’s skyline comes alive with color and sound. 

On this Reykjavik boat tour, you’ll have uninterrupted views of the fireworks that burst above the city and surrounding towns. Your expert crew will ensure you’re in the best position to take in the show, complete with blankets to keep you warm.

There is no official city fireworks display in Reykjavik on New Year’s Eve. Instead, the entire community comes together to light up the sky in a spectacular, collective celebration. Families and friends set off their own fireworks, creating a dazzling show that begins even before the clock strikes midnight. 

If the skies are clear, you may also have the rare chance to see the northern lights dancing overhead, creating a magical mix of natural and man-made wonders. Imagine raising your eyes from the sparkling city lights to catch the glow of green auroras across the winter sky, an experience you’ll never forget on this extraordinary boat tour in Reykjavik.

The boat will stay on the water for about half an hour after midnight, giving you plenty of time to savor the moment before returning to shore.

This New Year’s Eve cruise is the perfect choice for travelers seeking something different. Enjoy a festive atmosphere, unbeatable views, and a truly Icelandic way to celebrate the arrival of a brand-new year. Check availability now by choosing a date.

Good to know

After the boat tour, you can continue the celebration in Reykjavik. Many pubs and bars in the city center stay open well past midnight, so it’s easy to keep the party going into the early morning hours.

The northern lights are a natural phenomenon, and sightings are never guaranteed. If the skies are clear, you may be treated to their glow, making your New Year’s Eve on the water even more special.
