New Zealand's Ferries
Interislander offers daily ferry services across Cook Strait, linking New Zealand's North and South
Islands.
The three conventional ferries – Kaitaki, Arahura and Aratere – take 3 hours to cruise around the
lower North Island coastline and experience the peaceful Marlborough Sounds - a truly breathtaking
entrance to the South Island.
All our vessels carry passengers and vehicles. Travel in comfort and style as you savour one of the
world's most scenic ferry journeys.
Once on board enjoy a movie, a drink in the bar or anything from a snack to a three course
meal. For families there is a nursery and children's play area and at
the information centre you can exchange your foreign currency.
Cruising time is approximately 3 hours.
'Welcome Aboard'
Welcome to Strait Shipping's Bluebridge 'inter-island' passenger service between
Wellington and Picton. At Bluebridge our intention is to offer you a choice on the Cook Strait.
Strait Shipping was founded in May 1992 with the aim of providing an alternative Cook
Strait ferry service for freight. This aim has not changed, only expanded. We may never
be the biggest shipping service in New Zealand, but we will always strive to be the
best. By aiming for the highest standards of customer service, efficiency, effectiveness,
and environmental and social responsibility, we want to ensure that customers have a
choice, and that they will choose us.
Travelling time is 3 hours 20 minutes.
Note: we can book almost anything in New Zealand so if you don't see
what you want please
and we'll arrange exactly what you need. This site is growing daily.
