While PS Waimarie is out braving the rain, the resident wildlife are having a ducking good time. 🦆🦆🦆
If there's rain on the horizon, don't let that stop you from enjoying a cruise with us, more often than not the Awa is just as beautiful with the rain tapping away as it is with the sun out.

the Waimarie Gin
About last night!
It was fillied with music, local flavor and something extra special!
Let us introduce you to the newest drop on the block - The Waimarie Gin🍸🍸
Developed in collaboration with our friends Papaiti Gin, this Gin has been perfectly crafted to honor a journey 125 years in the making & to celebrate 25 years of PS Waimarie in her restored era...
$10 from each bottle goes directly back into supporting the ongoing maintenance of our old girl. Each bottle tells a story - from smooth botanicals to the rivers rich heritage and, each sip brings you closer to the spirit of the Waimarie, full of timeless charm and local pride.
You can get your hot little hands on a bottle through the @papaitigin website and know that each drink you have is helping to preserve a peice of Whanganui's oldest heritage.
Keep an eye out for Good Bones Distilling next good thing to! HINT- There's a clue in the video 😅

Mānawatia a Matariki - Happy Māori New Year 🌠
Puanga is the star Rigel, part of the Orion constellation. Puanga features in the sky just prior to Matariki and is seen as a precursor to Matariki for the tribes that can’t see Matariki in the East. For Whanganui and Taranaki tribes, Puanga is the significant star to celebrate Puanga (our New Year).
It's our time of reflection while looking to our future...

What a ride! We decided to crank things up for our last trip of the season by testing a steam train whistle instead of our usual one. Talk about a blast from the past!🚂📣
P.S. apologies for the confusion folks - were pretty sure some of our community thought they'd woken up in the 1800s!
Thanks to everyone who joined us, and see yall next season ✌️
