 On board the ship by grets 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. Leave a Comment

 TSS Earnslaw on Lake Wakatipu. by worldkiwi 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.

Steaming across the lake in the Steamship Earnslaw has to be a very unique and worthwhile activity while staying in Queenstown. It's always great to get out onto the lake, but nothing can beat a steamship journey. This is one of the few passenger carrying steamships, and more especially being coal fired, still operating. You can choose different options from barbeque lunch to horseriding, and general relaxing, when you visit Walter Peak Station across the lake. There is plenty of time to mooch around and explore the ship, view the engine room and stoker, and visit the bridge. Earnslaw has a fine cafe and bar available as well. Adult $42 Child $15 1 October 2008 prices will be Adult $45 Child $20 Leave a Comment

 TSS Earnslaw, Queenstown, NZ by ATXtraveler If you are enamored with the sea-faring lifestyle and enjoy peaceful and sometimes romantic cruises, then I would recommend the TSS Earnslaw for a sunset cruise on Lake Wakatipu in Queenstown. The ship leaves from downtown and heads out on a mini cruise to nowhere most days, but the most popular is the evening cruise that is the last to watch the sun go down. Several sources quote that this ship is the last to be operated as a coal fired ship in the Southern Hemisphere, so you better take the opportunity while it still exists! You can complete this cruise by itself or it can be combined with the Walter Peak High Country Farm visit. There are refreshments on board the ship, however they are at an additional charge. As of 2008, the prices are $42NZD for adults and sail times are noon, 2pm and 4pm. There are concessions for seniors, students, and children. Leave a Comment

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. Leave a Comment

 TSS Earnslaw by TomorrowsAngel 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.

This old steamer or the TSS Earnslaw is affectionately known as the “Lady of the Lake” and has been transporting goods to remote settlements and conveying passengers on the beautiful Lake Wakatipu since 1912. Its a great experience and a magic way to see the beautiful scenery. This steamship is the only coal fired passenger carrying vessel still operating in the southern hemisphere. It leaves on a variety of regular cruises from the wharf right in downtown Queenstown. The evening cruise with great wine & food is a very pleasant way to round off your day. Alternatively take the cruise over to the working sheep station at Walter Peak. Leave a Comment

by AllyPally 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!!! Leave a Comment
