Location

Take a classic cruise through Queenstown’s most iconic scenery. Aboard a locally owned vessel with history and heart, you’ll glide across Lake Wakatipu with uninterrupted 360-degree views — from the towering Remarkables to tucked-away bays, lakeside homes, and the charm of the town itself.

This is Queenstown at a gentler pace. With warm commentary, small groups, and no rush, Million Dollar Cruise is all about good views, good company, and the kind of relaxed experience you’ll quietly treasure.

This isn’t just a boat ride — it’s a warm, hosted experience that consistently surprises and delights.

Million Dollar Cruise stands out by doing the simple things really well. Guests aren’t crammed in or rushed — instead, they’re welcomed with humour, local insight, and care. It’s the kind of experience that guests genuinely remember and talk about long after.

An easy addition to any itinerary, with daily departures from central Queenstown.

Note

In winter, the 4pm will be our Twilight Cruise where you can toast the View with a Local Drop. On board, you’ll find everything you need to stay cosy. The interior is heated, with plush blankets available to keep things toasty, and our licensed bar is fully stocked with hot drinks, local Central Otago wines, craft beers, and a little bubbly if the mood strikes. Whether you're celebrating something special or just want to treat yourself, it's the perfect way to mark the moment.
