Lake Cruises - TSS Earnslaw Steamship
Description
Affectionately known as the 'Lady of the Lake', the TSS Earnslaw has a special place in the hearts of Queenstown people. She has been transporting goods to remote settlements and conveying passengers on beautiful Lake Wakatipu since 1912. What better way to view the magnificent scenery than by taking a cruiseon board the TSS Earnslaw vintage steamship.
Step aboard, watch the stokers fuelling the fireboxes and hear the sound of the steam engines working as the TSS Earnslaw takes you on a nostalgic cruise of beautiful Lake Wakatipu. Every cruise allows you plenty of time to explore the TSS Earnslaw's decks and bridge, view the engine room and historic displays in the Gallery and join a sing-along with the ship's pianist.
Cruises depart regularly throughout the day. You have the choice of a cruise by itself, or it can be combined with a visit to Walter Peak High Country Farm for a guided farm visit, horse trek, barbecue lunch or evening buffet dining.
