Loved our overnight cruise on Milford Sound! Shared a quad cabin room and though small & cozy, was a perfect place to sleep & so good to wake up to a great view!! Food on the cruise was excellent & all the staff very helpful & informative! One of our highlights on our holiday I would definetly recomend a stay on the Fiordland Jewel !!

Best stay in Milford Sound!

10.0

Our stay on this luxury boat in Milford Sound was absolutely unforgettable—easily a 5-star experience! The highlight was being on the water after all the tours had left, giving us an incredible sense of peace and exclusivity. Waking up surrounded by majestic mountains, with the soft sounds of nature and the peaceful morning mist, was simply magical. The wildlife sightings added to the charm, making every moment feel special. The food was outstanding, with each meal beautifully prepared and delicious, and the service was impeccable—attentive yet unobtrusive, ensuring we had everything we needed. To top it off, the beds were incredibly comfortable, allowing us to rest and recharge in total luxury. This experience in Milford Sound exceeded all our expectations, and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect stay. Highly recommend!

Magical cruise

10.0

This overnight cruise on Milford Sound may have been the highlight of our fabulous 2 week trip to New Zealand. The staff were all so attentive and helpful. Meg was a delight to talk to and so helpful. She even hung our swimsuits to dry in the engine room. Jimmy brought the underwater sea life to life with an amazing video and narrative. He made sure to direct our attention and the ship to the most beautiful sights in the sound. We were blessed to see rare penguin, seals and a waterfall with a double rainbow. The wind changed direction suddenly and we all got sprayed by the waterfall. Super fun!!! And the staff was quick to grab us all towels. The food was delicious too! It was so nice to relax overnight and use the hot tub under the stars. Kayaking was fun and included in cist. Amazing adventure that I highly recommend!

Beautiful stay on the Fiordland. The only downside was that there were guests with children that they did not tend. It was disappointing because it really impacted the quality of the stay. I have no issue with children…just hard when they are allowed to run free and be very loud.
