First stop on the New Zealand part of the cruise was Fjordland. This was a magic day - the whole day was spent crusing in and out of diffferent Fjords.
At daybreak we entered Milford Sound. After leaving Milford Sound we cruised south and entered Thompson Sound and left via Doubtful Sound. We then cruised further south and entered Breaksea Sound and left via Dusky Sound.
This is one of the best ways to see the Fjords and we can heartily recommend a cruise that takes this route!
