The Lakeland Queen is a genuine stern wheel driven paddle steamer designed with the famous Mississippi River Cruisers in mind. We gladly welcome you on board for a scenic cruise, complimented with an international range of mouth-watering cuisine and a fine selection of beverages. 

The ship has two decks, with full onboard catering and bar facilities. This stylishly refurbished and recently extended Grand Ol' Lady can cater for up to 250 guests for a seated breakfast, lunch or dinner, or 300 guests for a cocktail style function. A touch of 'old world' ambience makes cruising with the Lakeland Queen relaxing by day and romantic by night.

The Lakeland Queen is also the venue of choice for special events, conventions and incentive groups. We can cater for weddings, birthday parties, corporate meetings, seminars, luncheons and social events. Read more.

We are also proud to offer you a fantastic range of combination packages in conjunction with another great New Zealand icon, the Agrodome. Read more.
