Cook Strait is one of the most dangerous stretches of water in the world and a voyage on a Cook Strait ferry can often be a gut churning experience but this is part of the allure of these voyages, especially with overseas tourists who love to capture towering seas and heaving decks on Tik Tok videos to show how exciting a trip to New Zealand can be!!
OVERNIGHT SAILINGS
For over 80 years the overnight Wellington to Lyttelton ferry, or Steamer Express Service as the Union Steam Ship Company called it, was a vital link in New Zealand’s transport network and the ships that provided the service became symbols of certainty and stability. Their captains were household names. It is said that Wellingtonians and those in Lyttelton set their watches by the ships’ regular arrivals and departures (except when the company held up ships so politicians could get home to their electorates.)
