A cruise on Lake Wakatipu aboard the iconic steamship the TSS Earnslaw is a fantastic way to experience Queenstown’s famed scenic beauty. The leisurely 90 minute cruise across the lake showcases some of Queenstown’s spectacular alpine scenery, while offering guests plenty of time to explore a piece of Queenstown’s living history, the 100 year old TSS Earnslaw.

Guests can visit the engine room and see it’s giant steam engines at work, view the collection of historical photos in the mini museum, check out the bridge or join a sing along with the pianist. There is also the opportunity to enjoy a wine, beer or cafe style food at the on-board Promenade Cafe and Bar.

Cruises depart regularly throughout the day. Guests can choose to do a cruise, or a cruise combined with a visit to the Walter Peak High Country Farm for a guided farm tour, horse trek, barbecue lunch or evening dining.
