Picking a suitable destination to visit with your loved ones during this busy time of the year can be challenging. This article provides a brief insight on where to crash for this year’s New Year’s Eve.

Sydney Harbour, Sydney

New Year’s Eve in Sydney is as iconic as the city itself. Tens of thousands of celebrants gather in and around the Sydney Harbour where the greatest landmarks, the Opera House and Harbour Bridge are all lit up. These monuments or buildings pave the way for the night’s huge events, the fireworks at 9pm and midnight. Other than this, numerous festivals and celebrations are staged throughout the city, and the Sydney Harbour is a main crowd-pleaser during these times, because of the New Year’s Eve cruises that set sail from the harbour. The cruises during this time arguably put up the best views of the illuminating skies. The harbour offers a variety of vessels at affordable prices, including an Australian-built multi-million dollar catamaran with expansive outer decks, an authentic paddlewheeler with a wrap-around verandah, a glass boat with 360° view of the harbour and many more. These cruises take you on a voyage around the harbour with shimmering views of the Opera House, Harbour Bridge and many other attractions while you feast on the delicious dishes freshly prepared by the onboard chefs. Hop aboard the New Year’s Eve cruises in Sydney and get entertained while enjoying the drinks from the fully licensed bar onboard. Additionally, the cruises will be located in an exclusion zone, pre-designated by the NSW Maritime for the best views of the Sydney skyline during the fireworks. With a number of options to choose from, select wisely according to your liking and try to grab the tickets early to avail discounts.

Las Vegas, Nevada

The Las Vegas Strip is a popular destination during NYE and people from around the world flock to the capital city of Nevada to welcome the New Year in high spirits. There'll be no shortage of entertainment in Vegas and all the casinos and clubs will be hosting several parties.
