Tour Details

As the final hours of the year tick away, Reykjavík transforms into a vibrant tapestry of celebration, where the icy embrace of winter is warmed by the fiery spirit of New Year's Eve. Step aboard our welcoming vessel at the Old Harbour, where the anticipation is as palpable as the crisp sea breeze. With a glass of sparkling welcome drink in hand, you’ll set sail into the heart of Faxaflói Bay, the city’s skyline twinkling like a constellation against the dark night.

The air is electric with excitement as the clock edges closer to midnight. All around, the sky erupts in a dazzling display of fireworks, each burst a kaleidoscope of color that dances across the heavens. The people of Reykjavík, with their boundless enthusiasm, create a spontaneous symphony of light, launching an astonishing 500 tonnes of fireworks that illuminate the night in a breathtaking spectacle. The sound of laughter and music fills the air, mingling with the crackle and pop of fireworks, creating a sensory feast that captivates the soul.

Wrapped in cozy overalls, you can choose to brave the brisk night air on deck, feeling the gentle sway of the sea beneath your feet, or retreat to the warmth of the indoor saloon, where the panoramic windows offer a perfect view of the pyrotechnic extravaganza. As the countdown begins, voices unite in a chorus of anticipation, and when the clock strikes midnight, glasses are raised high, and cheers of "Happy New Year!" echo across the bay.

The celebration doesn’t end with the fireworks. As the boat gently makes its way back to the harbor, the lively atmosphere continues, with music, dancing, and the camaraderie of fellow revelers. Once ashore, the vibrant nightlife of downtown Reykjavík awaits, offering endless possibilities to continue the festivities.
