Tickets are available from today for New Years Eve special sailings to view the fireworks.
There are three sailings from the Marina, Al Ghubaiba and Dubai water Canal stations.
Boarding starts at 8:30 PM and the ferry leaves at 9 PM. It returns at 1:30 AM.
Prices are 300 dirhams for silver class and 450 dirhams for gold class.
Prices for children aged between two and 10 years old will be 50% of the adult price. Children under two travel free.
There will be no seating on the ferry.
You can book your tickets from the relevant marine station from today or you can phone the RTA on 800 9090 or mobile number 056-2190276 for more information.
Tickets for New Year usually sell out very very quickly so you are advised to get yours as soon as possible if you wish to travel on these special trips.
I have elderly parent. Do this year they have seats for ferry?
You can call one of the numbers shown in this year’s post for confirmation but I think it is unlikely.
Hi
Can you please suggeat if we can view fireworks if not then what can we see?
Regards
Yes you should be able to see the the fireworks but note that some people who went on this trip last year had some negative feedback so it may not be for everyone as you are sat on a boat for quite a few hours!
I want to book the ticket for new year eve
I have contacted the given mobile nr but he advise me to contact RTA on 8009090 unfortunately there was no option to book a ticket please help
Hi, in order to book the tickets you need to go to the departure point of your choice and buy the tickets from the ticket office there.
Can we bring a single folded seat as my parents are old and cannot stand for 5 hours
You will need to contact the RTA on 800 9090
Deeply unhappy with this trip .
Not a trip to repeat
can i see burj khalifa fireworks with this trip?
If you take the ferry that starts from Dubai water canal station you should be able to.
Are there any tickets left for the water bus instead of the ferry?
I was told the price for those tickets is 100AED per person
Water bus tickets are 125 dirhams. You will need to call the RTA on 800 9090 for availability.
I’ve called RTA and they have confirmed seating for 100 available on the ferry – I’d have thought the administrator for this site would have clarified the situation instead of leaving it to the customers!!
When I called and spoke to the RTA they specifically said no seating so that was the information I had.
I was on the Dubai marina trip on new years Eve and was extremelt disappointed . Far too drawn out for the firework show with not much value for miney. There were 6 of us so a v exoensive waste if a few hours on new years eve. ?
I have booked 2 tickets of AED 300 each for the new year eve ferry from Marina.
From 9 PM to 1.30 AM it is 4.5 hours.
Is there a washroom on board?
What shall we be doing from 9 PM to 12 before the fireworks?
Any meal or water/drinks included in the ticket?
Yes there is a washroom on board. There are usually refreshments to purchase on board but I am not sure if they are included in the ticket.
The time before is to take in the sights and cruise to the location where you can view the fireworks.
Hi..Is refreshments included in this ticket ?
Hi, I’m italian and i want to book 2 tickets for new year’s eve, how can i do it? we will arrive wednesday 28th of december. Can you help us? thank you.
Hi, unfortunately the tickets need to be bought from the marine station that you are departing from so unless you know somebody locally you might be out of luck as the tickets will likely be sold by 28 December.
What a pity.. Thank you so much.. when we will arrive in Dubai i will try to buy the tickets.. maybe we are lucky..
I just called at the number given above and the guy told me there are seats available on the ferry. You can sit. Not sure why things are contradicting between them.
What is meant by no seating in Ferry?
From 8.30 to 1.30, five hours do we need to stand?
I was advised that there is no seating. When the RTA hire out the ferry for parties and such like they take out the seats so that there is additional capacity and I imagine that is what they have done this time, so yes you may need to stand for the whole time.
Thanks for the prompt response. Can you please confirm that there is no seating? I am worried for my mother who is old and can’t stand for that long. Please confirm if there is any seating in Gold class or silver class?
Many thanks
The information I have is that there is no seating, you may wish to confirm with the RTA.
