Choose the upper deck on the New Year Party in Dubai Creek, and you’ll be rewarded with open-air views, clear vantage points for fireworks and a more panoramic experience. Dubai Ticket Expert’s upper-deck option is priced higher (AED 799) but the tradeoff is worth it for the elevated views during the midnight spectacle.

The cruise packs in a lavish international buffet - soft drinks, a New Year cake & vibrant entertainment to keep spirits up until midnight. There’s also a fruit champagne toast for all guests - perfect for welcoming the new year in a festive as well as non-alcoholic way.

The dhow glides along the old creek all night, allowing you to admire the contrasting views of old and new, with modern skyscrapers glimmering next to traditional building forms. With the lights, the water and the fireworks - the upper deck delivers an unforgettable new year eve moment that's both romantic and cinematic.
