Fiordland & Stewart Island
Small Ship Cruises & Expeditions
Fiordland and Stewart Island
Cruise Into a World Beyond Belief
New Zealand's fiords along with Fiordland National Park are a wild and remote combination of rugged mountain ranges, dense rain forest, solitary alpine lakes, sparkling rivers and splashing waterfalls, while being home to plethora of rare birds.
Further south within touching distance of the South Island's southern tip sits New Zealand's third-largest island, Stewart Island (Rakiura), which offers a glimpse into a simpler, slower lifestyle, in rhythm with the sea and the tides, attuned to the natural world of bush and beach.
