Sydney's New Year's Eve midnight fireworks are going ahead but with the prime vantage spots on the foreshore only available to NSW frontline workers. Only residents and those with confirmed bookings at hospitality venues, will be allowed into Circular Quay, North Sydney and the City. Captain Cook Cruises has released a strictly limited number of New Year’s Eve cruises for 2020 with tickets on sale now.

The Sydney 2000 is the largest vessel in the Captain Cook Cruises fleet with three restaurant decks offering live music, food, drinks and Veuve Clicquot Champagne at midnight from $699 per person. The Ocean Deck’s newly refurbished lounge-bar with canapés and drinks is a great option for those who enjoy a relaxed atmosphere. Move up the decks and the menu, wines and views become more indulgent, culminating in a 5-course dinner, superior wines, spirits, liqueurs and magnificent views from the Sky Deck.

Captain Cook Cruises also has tickets available onboard John Cadman 2 and Captain Cook 3 from $599 per person. Both cruises include a premium 4-course menu, open bar of still and sparkling wine, local and imported beers and live music. Spacious interiors, huge picture windows and extensive outdoor decks are features of both vessels to see the fireworks in all their colourful glory.

For those looking for a more casual celebration, pack a picnic, bring your own drinks and see in the New Year on a Rocket Ferry. These catamaran ferries are also a fabulous way to celebrate the start of 2021 from only $299 per person.

All vessels depart from Darling Harbour, King St Wharf 1 and return approximately 1:00am. The premium vessels Sydney 2000, John Cadman 2 and Captain Cook 3 board at 8:00pm and depart at 8:30pm. Casual Rocket Ferries board at 9:00pm and depart at 9:30pm.
