Highlights
Classic cruises
Relax on a round trip on the lake and enjoy the spectacular scenery of Central Switzerland. See the historic sites along the bay of Lucerne or sail all the way to Flüelen and experience some of the most breathtaking panoramas anywhere in the Alps. The regular schedule of boats and lake steamers can take you to the Transport Museum, Mount Rigi, Mount Pilatus, Stanserhorn, the Glass Factory, Klewenalp and Seelisberg.
Culinary cruises
Enjoy brunch on one of the lovely ships during the springtime or a spectacular summer lunch on the open deck. During autumn, exquisite wines are served to match the seasonal cuisine, while in the winter there are cosy late afternoon cruises with coffee and cake. These cruises should be pre-booked.
Panorama Yacht 'Saphir'
Tour the magnificent bay of Lake Lucerne in the elegant ambience of an exclusive yacht. Sit back and relax on the custom-designed deck furniture, while the ship gently glides over the water. There is also an upper roof deck and a professional audio guide, providing interesting information about the passing points of interest and scenic highlights. Cruise lasts 1 hour.
Directions
The main boat station is located just opposite Lucerne train station, with several piers. All tickets can be purchased locally.
In the other resorts, the boat stations are easy to spot on the lakeshore with their large blue signs.
