    OK... I have to admit I didn't do this, though when I left Auckland I had thought I might have. The TSS Earnslaw is a ninety something year old steamer that is an icon in Queenstown. She is a beautiful ship and if I went to Queenstown again I would definitely want to experience first hand what cruising aboard her is like. I think fares started at about NZ$37 when I was there.

    After a day of Jetboating, helicopter ride, white water rafting and parapenting, the cruise on board the TSS Earnslaw seems very sedate, very old fashioned, but very nice. The cruise takes three quarters of an hour across the Lake Wakatipu to Walter Peak High Country Sheep Station.

    The TSS Earnslaw is a well known icon of Queenstown and is known as the Lady of the Lake. This vintage steamship was built in 1912 and runs on coal and cruises along Lake Wakatipu. It is one of the oldest tourist attractions in Central Otago. The TSS Earnslaw once had Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip on board. The 1 hr 30mins cruise cost NZ$38 and you could catch it at the Real Journeys office at the Lakefront Drive.

    Relive the elegance of bygone days and enjoy magnificent scenery 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. The boat does lunchtime and dinner cruises. And during the daytime has longer cruises to Walter Peak (highcountry) Station where visitors can watch sheep-shearing demostrations, sheep-rounding and see Highland cattle.

    the TSS Earnlaw over 90 years young steamer, the real thing to have a cruise on Lake Wakatipu, like in the old days, when the first settlers used her as transport ship, now she is pure passenger orientated and everybody can enjoy a cruise for around $NZ40.- which is less then $US 28.-

    A pleasant way to spend a couple of hours on a warm summer's afternoon in Queenstown. Cruising Lake Wakitipu on the TSS Earnslaw. We did the trip to Walter Peak & back which was very enjoyable.

    I didn't actually board this vessel but saw it leave from Queenstown and managed to capture this shot. From our hotel, the boat looked tiny on the water but up close it is not. Just goes to show how large Lake Wakatipu is!!!
