New Year is celebrated on the last day of the year in most parts of the world. People see the arrival of the New Year as an opportunity to realign their life. They reflect on the previous year’s experiences and try to resolve them and move on. They welcome the New Year with a positive outlook. Some people even make New Year resolutions and try to follow them throughout the year. The last day of the year is celebrated with high optimism and energy. Celebrations differ from region to region but the true gist of it is to spend some quality time with your friends and family. Everyone looks to enjoy this special occasion at a venue that fully embraces the festive spirits. If you're looking for great destinations to visit in Australia for NYE, here are a few options.

Sydney Harbour Cruises, Sydney

Sydney, a spectacular city built around its incredible harbour and beaches, has a distinct wow-factor few cities can match. This sun-soaked city is the capital of New South Wales, on the East coast of Australia. Housing many incredible architectural landmarks, gardens, national parks, museums, skyscrapers, scenic landscapes and many more, this luxurious city is also one of the most visited destinations in the world. Here you'll never run out of places to go or things to do. The harbour is one of the main destinations locals as well as tourists flock to during New Year’s Eve. All the festivities and celebrations that take place are mainly concentrated on the harbour. The famous Sydney fireworks are watched by more than a million people around the harbour. The harbour is where most of the action takes place and the Sydney NYE cruises are the best option to view these spectacles away from the busy crowd. Hop on a multi-million dollar catamaran with three expansive outer decks, an authentic paddlewheeler with wrap-around verandahs or a premium glass boat with floor-to-ceiling glass windows and experience NYE like never before. These cruises will take you around the harbour where you can see the lit up harbour precincts including the famous Opera House and Harbour Bridge. While you're at it, feast on a delicious dinner which can either be a deluxe seafood buffet or a seated and served menu (depending on the vessel you pick) and these are always cooked freshly by the onboard chefs. With premium drinks and beverages included, you can stroll through the cruises and its outer decks with a drink in your hand to truly enhance the festive spirits. Catch sight of the famous firework display from a truly breathtaking perspective. Additionally, these cruises will be located in a pre-designated special exclusion zone to offer you the best possible locations to witness the highly-anticipated fireworks. If you're looking for a night of entertainment, you can choose the vessel with a live band, DJ or a cabaret show. With modern interiors, scintillating views, food and drinks packages, entertainment and an impeccable service, the New Year cruises will surely guarantee you with an unforgettable NYE.

Yarra River Bank, Melbourne

The city of Melbourne is the capital of Victoria, in the South Eastern coast of Australia. Melbourne is considered to be one of the most liveable cities on the planet with its cultural diversity, bayside location and sophisticated lifestyle. On the night of New Year’s Eve, the skies covering Melbourne get lit up with colourful sparkles from the fireworks from several rising towers of the city. The Yarra River and other famous spots around the city will be packed with locals as well as with tourists to explore the variety of celebrations that take place. Before heading to the river banks to see the splendid firework display, you can visit the Yarra Park to be part of carnival celebrations. Melbourne is a great place to enjoy the NYE.
