Q&As

There's not really a cost effective option for a family of 5 on the Milford Mariner as you would have to book the family room that sleeps 1 adult and 3 kids and then a sole occupancy room for the 2nd adult. This would end up costing $1808 ($425 for the adult in the family room, 3 x $213 for the kids, and $744 for the adult in the sole occupancy room). The more cost effective option would be to book on board the Milford Wanderer which is run by the same company and offers the same experience as the Mariner without the private ensuite bathrooms. The Wanderer offers quad share rooms so you could book 1 quad share room for the 3 kids and 1 adult and the 2nd adult could sleep in another quad share room that they will share with up to 3 other travellers. The cost for this would be $1069 ($305 for each adult and $153 for each child). Or you could book a private twin room for 1 adult and 1 child ($355 + $178 = $533) and then a quad share room for 1 adult and 2 children ($305 + 2 x $153 + you have to pay for the 4th bed at kids rates of $153 = $764), which makes the total cost = $1297.
