TSS Earnslaw Cruises

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.

Relive the elegance of bygone days with a cruise aboard the vintage steamship TSS Earnslaw, one of the last remaining coal fired passenger carrying vessels operating in the southern hemisphere. 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 cruise a board the TSS Earnslaw. 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 Fo'c'sle Gallery and join a sing-along with the ship's pianist.
