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.
Cruising beautiful Lake Wakatipu aboard Queenstown’s iconic steamship - the TSS Earnslaw is undoubtedly one of Queenstown’s must-do activities.
Like stepping into a postcard, you’ll be spellbound by the magic and grandeur of the “Lady of the Lake” as she showcases the best of Queenstown’s stunning scenic beauty.
Take in the breath-taking alpine views from the unique TSS Earnslaw as the leisurely 90 minute cruise takes you across the lake to picturesque Walter Peak High Country Farm and back again.
While underway you can visit the engine room, watch the stokers in action, view the collection of historical photos in the onboard mini museum or sing-along with the ship's pianist. Wine, beer, beverages and snacks can be purchased from the onboard Promenade Cafe and Bar.
Launched in 1912, the TSS Earnslaw has wowed many thousands of tourists, including many illustrious guests such as Queen Elizabeth and President Bill Clinton to name just a few.
With something for everyone you will be sure to love this breath-taking trip on Queenstown’s own iconic steamship - it’s truly an experience not to be missed.

喜欢机械的人员可能会更喜欢,但和米佛峡湾比起来,这趟行程的景观就逊色很多
My experience on the TSS Earnslaw was serene, calming, peaceful and tranquil. Beautiful scenery. I enjoyed the music too. Thank you MW
Such a great experience, only did the boat trip across the lake and that was fantastic. Kids loved seeing the engine room and great sites across the shoreline as we sailed.
Thoroughly enjoyed our trip with the kids on the TTS Earnslaw. Next time we would love to do the farm tour & BBQ dinner option. We checked out the steam engine viewing platform & mini museum at the front of the ship - we didn’t know this existed until this time around, as we spent most of the journey out on the front of the ship last time. Take a jacket as it can get quite breezy on the lake.

悠閒的下午時光
船員服務態度都很好,船上空間都能走走晃晃,還有一位鋼琴師演奏,十分愜意,但如果是買到的時段有很多跟團的人,就會覺得擁擠與吵雜,天氣好外面的湖景非常好拍,也能清楚看到蒸氣船內部營運結構,非常適合對機械有興趣的人
