Cruise Milford NZ Small Boutique Cruise Experience

Highlights

  • See native New Zealand wildlife from viewing windows and open decks

  • Luxury lounge with ocean-facing sofas and snacks

  • Listen to live narration from the skipper

  • Multiple departures daily for flexible scheduling

Summary

Make your way to the visitor terminal in Milford Sound before your scheduled departure time to check in for your cruise. Board a spacious boat that only books to half capacity to allow for the best experience. Climb to an upper cabin with water-facing sofas, and help yourself to coffee, tea, and biscuits, while listening to live commentary from the skipper. Smaller than some cruise boats, the maneuverable vessel can get you even closer to the wildlife you may spot along the way, from New Zealand fur seals to the rare Fiordland crested penguin. Cruise all the way to the end of Milford Sound, where the fiord opens up onto the Tasman Sea, with expansive views throughout your time on the water. This cruise concludes at the original departure point.
