Doubtful Sound
Overnight Cruises

Cruising amidst Doubtful Sound’s towering peaks and bush clad islands is awe-inspiring.

Doubtful Sound is an overwhelming place. You can feel the power of nature here. Feel the remoteness, the wildness — the peace...

There is plenty of time on your overnight cruise to enjoy the stunning views and discover the hidden arms of Doubtful Sound.  Fur seals and bottlenose dolphins are often seen, and at times, rare penguins can be observed.  There is also time for you to kayak around the shoreline, or go exploring in the tender craft with our nature guide.  As the shadows lengthen, we’ll drop anchor at a favourite mooring for the night.  After the day's activities, enjoy a delicious evening buffet meal in the spacious dining saloon. Cooked breakfast is available in the morning.

The Fiordland Navigator Real Journey’s purpose-built vessel for cruising in the fiords. The Fiordland Navigator offers spacious viewing decks, a comfortable dining room and observation lounge.  You have the choice of private cabins with ensuite bathrooms or shared bunk-style accommodation.
