悠閒的下午時光
船員服務態度都很好，船上空間都能走走晃晃，還有一位鋼琴師演奏，十分愜意，但如果是買到的時段有很多跟團的人，就會覺得擁擠與吵雜，天氣好外面的湖景非常好拍，也能清楚看到蒸氣船內部營運結構，非常適合對機械有興趣的人

TSS Earnslaw steamboat- A must do in Queenstown
A wonderful sailing trip on the historical TSS Earnslaw across Lake Wakatipu, with the option to view the steam engines below deck or to sit close to the piano and listen to the songstress. I highly recommend this historic sailing experience.

TSS Earnslaw Cruise
We took the 90 minutes cruise from Queenstown on a beautiful Friday. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery and pleasant ride while the kids enjoyed watching the steam engine. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

如果计划去米佛峡湾建议不安排此项目
喜欢机械的人员可能会更喜欢，但和米佛峡湾比起来，这趟行程的景观就逊色很多
