New Year Canal Cruise Dubai

Overview

The cruise carries around 135 passengers — 75 on the upper deck and 60 on the lower deck. Boarding is at Al Jaddaf Waterfront, near the Versace Hotel area. It is an evening cruise that continues into the early morning of New Year's Day.

While cruising through Dubai you will witness the spectacular fireworks display, including the famous Burj Khalifa fireworks and the lights of the city.
