Dine, Stargaze, and Sleep in the Serenity of Fiordland
Enjoy a carvery buffet dinner freshly prepared by the onboard chef, then settle in for an evening of stargazing, storytelling, or quiet relaxation in your private cabin. The peaceful atmosphere and lack of light pollution make for unforgettable views of the night sky.
In the morning, start your day with a hearty breakfast before heading out to explore more of the fiord or, weather permitting, venturing into the Tasman Sea. This overnight cruise from Queenstown is the perfect way to fully immerse yourself in the natural wonder of Milford Sound.
