TSS Earnslaw - RealNZ Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Known as the "Princess on the Lake", the TSS Earnslaw steamship (TSSEarnslaw) was born in 1912 - a golden age in the history of steamships including the world-famous cruise ship "Titanic" . Today, as a coal-fired ferry, she has sailed for 100 years and is a fascinating sight on Lake Wakatipu, transporting you back in time and enjoying the gorgeous European style of the early 20th century. During the voyage, you can lean on the railings on the deck and overlook the beautiful lakes and mountains of Queenstown. You can also climb the watchtower to steal the superb steering skills of the captain. You can also sneak into the steam boiler room to understand the operation principle of the steam engine.

Booked at 17:00. Go to the pier in advance to change tickets, board, buffet, watch performances, free activities (estimated to be 10 minutes) and return to the ship. Very interested in people or children who come to New Zealand for the first time.
Take a steam boat, enjoy the lake and mountains, experience the foreign farmhouse, see how to pick wool, how to shepherd sheep, for the parent-child tour with children, the overall is good
Traveling in Queenstown, New Zealand, on a century-old steamship and watching the lakes and mountains of Lake Wakatip is a must-have task. The TSS Ernstlau steamship, launched in the same year as the Titanic in 1912, has the reputation of "Lake Lady". After more than 100 years of baptism, it has been in operation for a long time, and it is the largest and most luxurious cruise ship on Lake Wakatip, and the only coal-fired steam ship still sailing in the southern hemisphere. The lake is clear and lightning-shaped Lake Wakatip, which ranks in the top three for viewing among the many lakes in New Zealand. The steamboat sailing in the middle of the lake is surrounded by the lake and mountains of Lake Wakatip. The scenery is picturesque and refreshing. The TSS Ernstlau steamboat has a variety of itinerary combinations. It is recommended to take a steamboat tour of the lake + Walter Plateau Ranch for a half-day tour (including afternoon tea). The fare is RMB 567, and tickets can be booked on the Trip.com platform.
It is said that this is the only steamboat still operating in the southern hemisphere. There is a part of the interior that is open to everyone to visit. You can see the boatman working with your own eyes. There is an area on the bow to introduce the history of the ship. I went ashore and ate a buffet to watch the shearing of the sheep. It was very interesting. Anybody wants a sheepdog like this.
