Visit Singapore lists Marina Bay Countdown 2027 for 31 December 2026 to 1 January 2027 at Marina Bay. That is all that is official. There is no fireworks time, no line-up and no map yet.
Last year is the best guide to when the details land. URA announced the 2025 programme on 27 November 2025. That year's fireworks, called ELYSIUM, started at 11pm and ran about 30 minutes across four segments, and URA warned that crowd numbers would be regulated, areas closed when full and some MRT exits shut. Esplanade ran free concerts on the night. If 2026 follows the same pattern, expect details in late November. We will update this page when they post.
Countdown cruises with prices
Royal Albatross, departing Resorts World Sentosa (Sentosa Express to Resorts World from VivoCity, HarbourFront MRT). The operator calls it Asia's only luxury tall ship, and it has three options on 31 December 2026:
Sunset dinner cruise, 5pm to 7.30pm, $315++ an adult, $295++ a child (0 to 12), with a glass of champagne. Countdown cruise, 9.30pm to 12.30am, $415++ an adult, $395++ a child, with midnight fireworks from the water and an optional dockside after-party to 2am. Speedboat countdown, 11.30pm to 12.30am, $175++, then the after-party on the ship with a free-flow standard bar. The speedboat is Royal Albatross's lowest-priced option; the 9.30pm cruise is the one to book if you want dinner and the fireworks in one ticket.

· Seasonal Tastes gives 15% off its New Year's Eve buffet if you pay in full by 14 December 2026.
· Last year, URA said Marina Bay areas would close when they hit capacity and some MRT exits would shut. Get there early and take the MRT.
· 1 January 2027 is a Friday, so the long weekend runs 1 to 3 January.
