Witness the world’s most spectacular pyrotechnic competition from the center of the river. Escape the 50,000+ crowds on land for a front-row, unobstructed view of the fireworks reflecting off the water.
As the city goes dark, we set sail to secure the best coordinates for the show. From our open-air decks, you’ll feel the boom and see the sky ignite in a 360-degree panoramic display, with the official musical score synced to our high-fidelity onboard sound system. Enjoy a drink from our fully licensed bar as you experience the capital's premier summer event in total comfort.
