It’s one of the best ways to see Queenstown’s surrounding landscape – a cruise across Lake Wakatipu aboard the iconic century-old coal fired steamship, the TSS Earnslaw.
On peut se contenter de le voir de l'extérieur ...,
Jean Jacques, Yes, you can view the TSS Earnslaw from the Wharf, but a cruise on this vintage steamship is a must-do for a lot of visitors to Queenstown. Booking a cruise will give you beautiful vistas of Lake Wakatipu and Walter Peak on the other side of the lake; allow you to visit the engine room and an opportunity to learn about the history of this iconic 104 year old "Lady of the Lake".

This is a must do if in queenstown The scenery is amazing and the history Of the boat & how its made is some real New Zealand history well worth the trip
A quaint way to sight-see the lake and surrounding mountains. Staff are lovely and the cafe on board means you don't go hungry or thirsty. Seating at a premium but we were happy to wander around the boat, checking out the engine room, seeing the sights and then grabbing a coffee. We will do again but this time take in the BBQ meal. Better done in the light hours for the sights. Dress warm, the lake breeze is cold even on a warm day.
We took the 90 minutes cruise from Queenstown on a beautiful Friday. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery and pleasant ride while the kids enjoyed watching the steam engine. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

Croisière agréable. Un petit retour dans le temps à bord de ce beau bateau à vapeur.
