Great Cruising Experience! - The boat’s smaller than those of other cruise companies, so it’s less crowded and everyone gets plenty of space to take in the views. The free hot drinks are a nice bonus too.

Fjord Cruise - Great experience! You do need a physical boarding pass to get on the ship so make sure to allow time to stop into the check in desk. We got to see a lot of beautiful scenery as well as dolphins right next to the boat, some seals and a beautiful rainbow over the water!! 2 hours is the perfect time for a cruise. The crew was very kind and helped make the experience wonderful! It was nice to be on a smaller ship since it can get crowded with too many people. I do think our group was smaller due to some closures on the highway to get to Milford Sounds but was worth it nonetheless. Thanks!

Awe inspiring - I had been once about 10 years back, the scenery had not changed, still a spectacular sight, the scale is so hard to fit into one picture on phones/cameras!!

Would completely recommend - Weather was terrible but support was always there keeping us up to date on access during the snow. The trip itself was amazing and staff friendly and enthusiastic. It was very cold so we really appreciated the constant availability of hot drinks (including oat milk)!!
