What to expect

Milford Sound cruise on the Pride of Milford

You travel the length of Milford Sound on the Pride of Milford, with time to settle into the Captain's VIP Lounge and move between indoor and outdoor areas. The experience combines reserved spaces, inclusive dining, and freedom to explore the rest of the vessel.

Features

• Your Milford Sound cruise on the Pride of Milford is anchored by priority boarding, so you can access the ship ahead of general passengers and get comfortable in the Captain's VIP Lounge from the outset.

• Inside the Captain's VIP Lounge on the Pride of Milford, you are hosted in the only fully private cabin on any Milford Sound cruise, with a dedicated host available throughout the cruise to assist with seating, service, and any questions.

• An inclusive Captain's VIP menu offers a range of hot and cold dishes, paired with a freshly prepared picnic lunch and a selection of beverages, so your food and drinks are taken care of while you focus on the scenery.

• You can step outside to a private outdoor viewing area reserved for the Captain's VIP Lounge, while still having full access to all other areas of the vessel if you want to change vantage points during the cruise.

Small-group transport from Te Anau

Your journey begins and ends in Te Anau, using a vehicle set up specifically for a limited number of guests. The transport component connects smoothly with your cruise check-in and return.

Features

• Travel between Te Anau and Milford Sound in a Mercedes Sprinter, with small-group transport capped at a maximum of 12 guests so you share the vehicle with only a limited number of fellow travelers.

• The round-trip journey in the Mercedes Sprinter is included as part of your Captain's VIP Lounge experience, so you do not need to arrange separate transport to or from the Pride of Milford departure point.
