What you can expect

Leave the buzz of Queenstown behind and soak in the alpine surroundings that this region is so famous for with a scenic cruise aboard an authentic, vintage steam vessel.

As the only coal-fired passenger-carrying ship left in the Southern Hemisphere, the TSS Earnslaw is packed with history and legacy. Leaving the shores of Queenstown, you will head south for the remote corners of beautiful Lake Wakatipu. Sit back, relax, and admire the dramatic landscapes of snow-capped peaks, verdant hillsides, and rugged cliffs.

Having been built over 100 years ago and launched in the same year as the Titanic in 1912, the vessel you're riding is a valuable piece of history. Visit the on-board museum for an insight into its past and to see the working engines in action in the steam room.

As you're serenaded by the ship's pianist feel yourself transported back in time on a delightful cruise across Queenstown's famous lake.
