Cruise Details
Every year, the Reykjavik New Year’s Eve Cruise at Sea sets sail from the shores of Reykjavik. Guests are welcomed aboard the Visitor Centre at the Old Harbour, where they receive a complimentary drink. As the vessel departs, it glides into the bay, heading towards the best viewing spot for the fireworks.
Stunning Fireworks Show
While there is no official fireworks show, Reykjavik’s residents create a fantastic spectacle. Around 200,000 people set off nearly 500 tonnes of fireworks from 11 PM until midnight in the greater Reykjavik area. This collective effort transforms the sky into a dazzling display of light and sound.
