Cruise through the spectacular Marlborough Sounds, cross the wild beauty of Te-Moana-Raukawa Cook Strait, and arrive in Picton after a scenic three-and-a-half-hour journey. On board, you'll find cafés, lounges, a cinema, children's play areas, and plenty of space to relax and soak up the views.

We recommend booking well ahead, especially during summer, Easter, and school holidays. Choose a flexible fare if you can, because there's a good chance you'll want to extend your stay in our region once you discover everything Nelson Tasman has to offer.
