Full description

This is the entry New Year cruise from Dubai Marina. Guests board at 9 pm and the cruise runs from 10 pm to 1 am, long enough to see the midnight celebration from the water.

The cruise includes a 4-star international buffet, live Tanoura dance and a belly dance show. The route offers views towards Burj Al Arab, Atlantis, JBR and the Palm, subject to weather and the official fireworks.

It is the most affordable of the Marina New Year options and a good choice for guests who want a shorter evening with traditional entertainment rather than a long yacht party.

Ask our team about the drinks policy, age rules and dress code for this tier when booking. Bookings are non-refundable.

What to expect on the evening: check in at the Marina from 9 pm, find your seat and enjoy the buffet while the vessel sails out between the towers. The Tanoura dancer and belly dance performance run during the cruise, and as midnight approaches the crew moves guests to the best viewing positions. Expect crowds around the Marina and Palm areas on New Year's Eve. Dress smartly, arrive on time and keep your booking confirmation handy. As with all our New Year's Eve cruises, bookings are non-refundable, so confirm the date and group size before paying.

Because the Marina is busy that night, allow extra time for traffic and parking, or use a taxi or the metro and tram. Keep warm layers handy, as the breeze on deck can feel cool after dark, and bring a phone or camera for the fireworks.
