Overview

This overnight boat cruise on the Fiordland Jewel carries up to 22 passengers in nine climate-controlled cabins, each with an ensuite bathroom and sea views. Guests can choose between king twin or super king double cabins, with accommodation for two people per cabin. The cruise lasts about 17 and a half hours and includes two separate cruises of Milford Sound. After boarding at Milford Sound Terminal in the afternoon, passengers will enjoy a three-course dinner prepared by the on-board chef, followed by an underwater film showing sea life captured by the vessel's Remote Operating Vehicle. A cooked and continental breakfast is served the next morning. The cruise offers kayaking and tender boat excursions for closer exploration of the surroundings. Weather permitting, guests can use the hot tub on the top deck after dinner. The crew shares information about the local wildlife and the natural environment throughout the cruise. The boat returns to Milford Sound Terminal the following morning. Optional van transfers are available from Te Anau or Queenstown for groups of up to eight people, and private charters can be arranged.
