Here are seven ways to ring in the new year in Savannah Georgia. 

A New Year's Eve celebration you won't forget

1 – A Dinner Cruise

A very family-friendly option for New Year’s Eve is a dinner cruise on the Savannah River. Savannah Riverboat Cruises has a three-hour Dinner Cruise that leaves at 5pm. Enjoy a buffet dinner and live music and get back in time for bedtime!

The three-hour floating New Year's celebration starts at 9:30pm rings in the new year on the water and returns at 12:30am. Enjoy live entertainment, hors d'oeuvres, and a cash bar as you watch fireworks light up the city sky.
