Welcome the new year aboard the Queen Mary in Long Beach, California, with live entertainment featuring Sir Mix-A-Lot and Los Chicos Del 512, a Selena tribute band. Other entertainment includes dueling pianos and country music, dancing, and casino gambling spread over multiple decks and ballrooms of the ship.

The party starts at 8 p.m. New Year’s Eve and ends at 1 a.m. New Year’s Day. The fireworks show, among the best in southern California, begins at midnight.

Buy tickets for the party.

If you want to spend the night on ship, rooms are still available, according to an email I received from the Queen Mary today. Make hotel and dining reservations.

The Queen Mary is docked at 1126 Queens Highway in Long Beach. Parking is available at the ship for a fee. For more information, visit the Queen Mary’s website or call (877) 342-0738.
