Welcome the New Year at sea on a dinner cruise aboard a mega dhow (a large cruise vessel in the style of a traditional wooden boat) departing from Dubai Marina. On the elegant dhow, which holds 500 guests, enjoy an unlimited international buffet and drinks, with live performances and DJ music setting the mood. Sail past Ain Dubai at Bluewaters, Atlantis and the Burj Al Arab, and at midnight watch the New Year fireworks burst over the city skyline from the open sea. Choose your seating area from the main, middle or top deck or the VIP upper deck.
Board at Dubai Marina at 8:00 PM and set sail at 9:00 PM. Depending on your option, you use one area: air-conditioned seating on the main deck, the middle deck, the top deck or the VIP upper deck. The cruise lasts 5 to 6 hours depending on the option.
Enjoy an unlimited buffet of international and Asian dishes catered by a 5-star hotel. There are live cooking stations, plus soft drinks, premium alcoholic beverages and Prosecco sparkling wine. The VIP upper deck option includes champagne bottle service at your table.
While sailing, live performers entertain and a DJ keeps the music going, so you can dance along. Soak up the New Year's Eve atmosphere against the city skyline.
First head to Bluewaters to admire the giant Ain Dubai observation wheel and its light show. Then sail toward Atlantis and the Burj Al Arab, and at midnight watch the fireworks light up the night sky from the sea to welcome the New Year.
