Queenstown is located along Queenstown Bay, an inlet of Lake Wakatipu. The S-shaped lake stretches for 50 miles, qualifying as New Zealand’s longest. A scenic way to appreciate its grand beauty is aboard the TSS Earnslaw. The steamship was commissioned by New Zealand Railways, designed by Hugh McRae and launched in 1912. Affectionately called the Lady of the Lake, the vintage vessel provides 90 minute sightseeing cruises offered by Real Journeys.
