Sail through Fiordland National Park on a Milford Sound cruise with Celebrity Cruises. See Mitre Peak, cascading waterfalls, and the fjords of Doubtful Sound and Dusky Sound in New Zealand’s South Island. Few places feel as untouched and cinematic as Fiordland National Park. As your Celebrity cruise sails through this remote corner of New Zealand’s South Island, towering cliffs, cascading waterfalls, and mist-covered peaks create scenery that feels almost unreal. The journey through Milford Sound is the highlight. One of its most iconic sights is Mitre Peak, soaring nearly 5,600 feet above the fjord, one of New Zealand’s most recognizable landmarks. As the ship glides deeper into the sound, waterfalls pour down sheer rock faces, especially after rainfall, when hundreds of temporary falls appear across the cliffs. Watch the water and shoreline for fur seals, bottlenose dolphins, and the rare Fiordland crested penguin. Beyond Milford Sound, the ship passes through Doubtful Sound, wide and framed by dense rainforest, and Dusky Sound, remote and largely untouched. Each offers a completely different atmosphere; onboard, thoughtfully designed spaces and outward-facing staterooms keep you connected to the scenery as it slowly shifts around you.
