Brisbane River New Year's Eve cruises 2026
Being on the water puts you right in front of the fireworks launched along the river. Brisbane NYE cruises either catch the early show and return before 10pm, or head out in the evening and stay on the river for midnight. The river is closed to traffic around the launch sites during the displays, so return times depend on when it reopens.

Booking tips
- Check whether the cruise covers the early show, midnight or both.
- Compare departure points: South Bank, New Farm, Hamilton and the City Botanic Gardens.
- Midnight cruises can return well after 12:30am, so plan your trip home.
- Most NYE cruises are 18+. MV Lady Brisbane is one of the few with child tickets.
