An overnight cruise on the Milford Mariner is the ultimate dinner, bed and breakfast experience. Relax in the comfort and style of a cruise vessel as you tour the beautiful surrounds of the Milford Sound. With overnight stay on board, this is a must do experience for travellers new to the area.
Your journey begins as you depart from the Milford Sound wharf in the late afternoon and cruise the full length of Milford Sound to the Tasman Sea. Throughout the cruise you will be accompanied by a specialist nature guide, who will share fascinating information and will answer any questions. The cruise style is relaxed, allowing plenty of time to view the fiord’s spectacular waterfalls, rainforest, mountains and wildlife.
The Milford Mariner will then anchor in a sheltered cove, where you can join the nature guide and explore in the vessel’s tender craft (small boat) and kayaks. Or, if you prefer, you can simply relax on deck. As evening falls, enjoy a lavish carvery buffet in the dining saloon and relax in the company of fellow travellers. You may even care to indulge in some star-gazing before retiring to your private cabin.
