Cruises in Dusky Sound, New Zealand

New Zealand's largest fjord is the picturesque Dusky Sound. Discovered by Europeans in 1770 by Captain Cook, it is today a major tourist destination in New Zealand. No overland roads go to Dusky Sound, so the only way to explore this vast wilderness is to cruise in by boat or fly in by air and land on the ocean. Several cruise lines make regular visits to the wide fjords of Dusky Sound.
  1. Real Journeys: Fiordland National Park

    • Multi-day cruises to explore Fiordland National Park are available from Real Journeys Cruises. These cruises are offered in the winter, when winds are calm, and last from five to seven days. On Real Journeys Discovery Cruises you will be accompanied by a trained naturalist, which offers guests the opportunity to get an in-depth understanding of the natural processes, plants and animals that inhabit the sounds of Fiordland National Park. The Dusky Sound Discovery Cruise lasts five days and includes the Doubtful and Breaksea Sounds as well. Cruises to Dusky Sound are limited to 34 passengers, so advance reservations are suggested.
