Overnight small-ship cruises on Milford Sound and the southern fiords aboard the Fiordland Jewel, a 24-metre catamaran taking twenty guests.
Fiordland Discovery runs small-ship cruises out of Milford Sound and further south, on a single purpose-built catamaran, the Fiordland Jewel. It is a family business - the boat was designed and built by owner-skipper Rob Swale, and the family has worked the far south for three generations.
The Fiordland Jewel
- 24-metre catamaran, twenty passengers overnight
- Nine ensuite cabins across three decks, heated and air-conditioned
- Remote operated vehicle for looking at what is under the boat
- Hot tub, kayaks and a tender
- Helipad
- Chef on board; cash bar
Trips
Milford Sound day cruises and overnights, plus longer expeditions: six nights through the northern fiords, six nights through the southern fiords, six nights to Stewart Island, and a nine-night Fiordland Grand Tour that links them.
The boat sleeps twenty in total, so departures are limited and dates are set well in advance - check what is running before you plan around it.
