Captain’s VIP Lounge

The Captain's VIP Lounge is your private retreat aboard the Nature Cruise — a place to slow down and take in Milford Sound at your own pace. Choose a seat inside the indoor lounge, or step out onto the outdoor viewing deck, the only one of its kind on the Sound, for an uninterrupted look at the cliffs, waterfalls and wildlife.

The VIP Experience

Food and drinks are all included throughout your time in the lounge, with a thoughtfully prepared menu served by your dedicated host. From canapés to seasonal plates, you'll be looked after from the moment you step aboard — free to relax, take in the scenery, and let the day unfold.
