Experience more... spend 9-nights aboard the Fiordland Jewel
With 1.2 million hectares of UNESCO World Heritage-listed National Park to be explored, our 9-night Grand Tour provides the full Fiordland experience. Relax aboard the Fiordland Jewel and take in the incredible coastlines and fiords of Te Wahipounamu as we delve deep into this unique landscape, journeying from Milford Sound to Doubtful and Dusky Sounds plus Chalky and Preservation Inlets, visiting inlets, basins, beaches and islands along the way.
The plan is to visit all 14 fiords carved by glaciers some 20,000 years ago. Each day will bring new, breathtaking views, from cascading waterfalls and deep coves to wildlife and bird watching. The enriching experiences available over our journey include short wilderness walks and opportunities to take to the water aboard one of our kayaks, or even pull in a feed of fresh fish.
Sleep easy in one of our nine climate-controlled cabins, all of which have sea views and private ensuites. Meals are prepared to an exceptional standard by our on-board chef. On a clear night, relax in the top-deck hot tub and experience the night sky unblemished by light pollution.
- Viewing incredible wildlife - keep an eye out for bottlenose dolphins and fur seals, on rare occasions we may encounter whales
- Spot birds such as the rare and captivating Fiordland crested penguin, New Zealand falcons, white-faced herons, white herons, cattle egrets, a variety of shags and the common black-backed gull. On our short sea passages we frequently see Albatross including the Royal Albatross which has the longest wingspan in the world.
- Short walks in Dusky Sound, Chalky and Preservation Inlets
- Some fishing to catch a feed, if you wish to do so
- Kayaking and tender boat excursions
- Stargazing on clear evenings as the unpolluted sky is full of stars and our top deck is the perfect viewing platform, perhaps one night you will be able to do this whilst relaxing in our top-deck hot tub!
