A premium cruise like no other

Get away from the hustle and bustle of life for a premium cruise to Milford Sound. Your cruise starts with a warm welcome and a glass of Mumm champagne. Take your seat and enjoy uninterrupted views on the vessel’s spacious deck. With an expert nature guide on board, learn about the history and geology of the fjord. You can put your camera to good use as you can take pictures of the powerful and cascading Bowen Falls or the unique Lion Rock. Get a taste of fiordland cuisine as you munch on specially curated canapes made from local produce.

A peek into Milford’s wildlife

With experienced skippers on board, you will get to experience the cool spray of a waterfall as you move close to sheer rock faces. You may catch sight of some dolphins, the Fiordland crested penguins, or the New Zealand fur seal relaxing on a rock.
