A large ferry with the name 'Red Funnel' painted on the side is navigating through calm waters. The vessel is white with a red base, and there are people visible on the upper deck. The background shows an urban shoreline with buildings and a few cranes, under a clear sky.

I had a fantastic experience traveling on the Maheno, a true icon of New Zealand's maritime history. The service was excellent and the views stunning throughout the journey.

A ferry with a white body and colorful stripes sails on a calm, expansive ocean with clear skies. The vessel has multiple decks and appears to be carrying numerous passengers. The water is a light blue, reflecting the bright sunlight that creates a serene and peaceful atmosphere.
