Lights of the city shimmer on the surface of the Danube, festive sounds drift from the Old Town streets, and the air is filled with the winter atmosphere of the year’s final days. During this unique time, we bring you the New Year’s Eve Sightseeing Cruise on the Danube – a short 45-minute cruise that blends the magic of year-end celebrations with an unforgettable view of evening Bratislava from the river. And what could be better than starting your New Year’s Eve with a view of the illuminated city from the deck of a boat?

Discover the most beautiful parts of Bratislava directly from the Danube. During the cruise, you can enjoy views of the historic city center, the illuminated riverside, and the majestic Bratislava Castle. The boat then passes under the SNP Bridge – iconic for its asymmetrical construction – and continues up to the Lanfranconi Bridge, where it turns back. The final part of the cruise offers an impressive panoramic view in the section between the Old Bridge and the Apollo Bridge.

Experience New Year’s Eve in a different way – on the deck of a heated boat, surrounded by the lights of a city preparing to welcome the new year. Before or after your New Year’s Eve plans, you can warm up with a cup of hot punch or a glass of mulled wine and enjoy a quiet moment amid the festive bustle. Refreshments are available directly on board.
