A different way to see out the old year. The fireworks over Reykjavik were spectacular. Wear warm clothes as it got cold on the boat. Staff were pleasant and welcoming with a glass of fizz at midnight.

Fun fun fun!
Wonderful New Year’s Eve excursion! So much fun, we saw northern lights! Lots of room to move around.

Very poor Cruise
There is no place to observe the new year's fireworks without standing outside in the wind and freezing cold. There was very little space to stand or sit inside the boat Highly recommend avoiding this activity.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're surprised to hear this, as our New Year's Eve cruise has received positive reviews for its atmosphere and experience. While seating may be limited due to the nature of the cruise, we strive to create a memorable celebration for all our guests. We regret that your experience didn’t meet your expectations but believe this review may not fully reflect the quality and effort we put into this special event.

This tour was a great experience. Short ride to see all of Reykjavik skyline and the fireworks. Great view.

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
New Year's Eve Reykjavík Cruise: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does New Year's Eve Reykjavík Cruise cost?
+
Prices start at $91 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Reykjavik usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does New Year's Eve Reykjavík Cruise take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Reykjavik is not rushed.
Is New Year's Eve Reykjavík Cruise worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.8/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Reykjavik, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule New Year's Eve Reykjavík Cruise?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is New Year's Eve Reykjavík Cruise suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book New Year's Eve Reykjavík Cruise?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Reykjavik can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Reykjavik and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does New Year's Eve Reykjavík Cruise start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Reykjavik within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Reykjavik?
+
On Outty we rank every Reykjavik experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Reykjavik Food Walk - Local Foodie Adventure in Iceland, Small-Group Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon with Ticket & Kerid Crater, Reykjavík Small group Walking Tour - by CityWalk. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Reykjavik?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Reykjavik?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
