We take you further and get you closer than the larger vessels. Our smaller size means we can navigate through narrow waterways, shallow bays and areas that the bigger ships just can’t go... Sail through the stunning Marlborough Sounds, famous Abel Tasman, majestic Fiordland, pristine Stewart Island, and picturesque Banks Peninsula in New Zealand. Experience the incredible beauty and peace of small group cruising, where every moment is an opportunity to enjoy the landscapes, wildlife, water activities, and charm of this amazing country.

At Affinity Cruises, we have a wide range of cruises that suit everyone. Whether you want excitement or just relaxation in a beautiful place, our cruises have it all. Affinity Cruises will take you to five stunning destinations in New Zealand from November to August.
Explore Marlborough Sounds, a beautiful place with stunning scenery. Take your time to enjoy the secluded bays where clear waters meet green forests. If you enjoy hiking, there are many trails to immerse yourself in the natural beauty. Discover the rich heritage and diverse wildlife as you explore further. Whether you like kayaking, fishing, swimming, or simply relaxing, Marlborough Sounds has something for everyone.
Next, we'll visit Banks Peninsula, a stunning part of the South Island. It was formed by two volcanoes and has a one-of-a-kind landscape. While sailing around the peninsula, you'll see wonderful bays and rocky cliffs. Make sure to bring your camera to capture the breathtaking sights and the wildlife you'll come across. Also, discover the history of the first residents and the Maori people.
Visit the breathtaking Stewart Island in New Zealand, a perfect destination for nature lovers. Take delightful walks and be amazed by the stunning views at every turn. Don't miss the famous Ulva Island Bird Sanctuary, home to a variety of bird species. Fishing enthusiasts will love the crystal-clear waters and thrilling fishing opportunities. Explore the island's rich history and keep an eye out for rare kiwis. Stewart Island is truly a magical place to discover.
Lastly, explore the breathtaking Fiordland, famous for its stunning natural beauty. Photographers will discover countless chances to capture magnificent scenery, including waterfalls and hidden spots in the untouched wilderness. Every moment in Fiordland provides unmatched views and a deep connection with nature. As night falls, the starry skies will leave you amazed by the vastness of the universe. The wildlife is incredible too, and you might see some whales as we sail through the fiords. We'll also try to catch crayfish, groppers, and blue cod, just be careful not to let a mollymawk steal your catch.
