Join the week long party in beautiful Queenstown, New Zealand to celebrate the centenary of the iconic TSS Earnslaw. The largest and grandest steamship ever built in New Zealand is now one of the world's last surviving original coal-fired passenger steamships in operation.
Events include a first sailing re-enactment cruise with period costumes, woolshed party at Mt Nicholas Station, entertainment for the family and a variety of special cruises around Lake Wakatipu.
Down in the engine room everything remains as it was in 1912. Two triple expansion steam engines maintain her cruising speed and stokers still shovel coal into the boilers. The historical significance of this grand old steamship is recognised by a rare Heritage Protection Order.
So come join the festivities at the TSS Earnslaw Centenary Celebrations and be part of a once in a lifetime experience!
