Cruises

As you cruise the crystal clear waters of the spring-fed Opawa River, stunning views greet you on all sides – the beautiful Marlborough countryside, the Wither Hills and the vineyards.

On your cruise why not sample some of the produce from the vineyards: The River Queen is fully licensed and carries a selection of the finest local wines. If you prefer beer, we have the local boutique breweries represented on our drinks list as well as the more well-known national brands. Lunch or dinner is served on both of the decks, inside or outside, it’s your choice.
