5.00We took the trip from Lausanne to Évian-les-Bains. We had a fantastic boat trip over Lake Geneva. It became an unforgettable trip to beautiful Évian in the summer heat. A nice day trip, and take this trip again.
A good time on Lake Geneva

4.00I've been traveling with the CGN for years and I have no reproach to do, if I removed a star it's for one thing: their new boat!... It's excruciatingly ugly and inhospitable. It looks like a soulless blockhouse, there are almost no exteriors, it is almost worrying, like a warship. It's a shame, I hope I hardly ever have it to make the crossing.
Great Tour

5.00The guide for the tour was excellent. The circuit for the tour was also well designed to cover the key highlights of St Malo.
Visit the cities near Lausanne by boat - this should be the name of the tour - there are no guides or directions

4.00Beautiful scenery- stay in second class- modern boat with restaurant (so with reservations)-bar and places to sunbath - There is no need to stay in first class because the view and accommodation do not change - only a staircase Suitable baths and views without guides or directions - transportation to different cities and villages -
Leisurely day out

5.00We took a day trip from Lausanne to Evian and back. It was free with our Swiss Travel pass. There are multiple sailings per day. We left at 11 am, had a wander round the town, a delicious lunch and a ride in the funiculaire and were in plenty of time to catch the 2:45 return sailing. A very laidback trip on a nice day.
Disappointment and lack of seriousness

1.00Despite 1st class tickets, there is no control except when the controller passes by. Area completely occupied by 2nd class tickets. Morality pay less and enjoy the 1 and without worries. In addition, twice we reserved a table for 2 and each time we had our place stolen. Morality don't reserve anything and sit down, you will have priority. Regrettable and unnecessary to pay more for calm and comfort. In this regard, first class is more than modest regarding seats. Disappointing
No food or drink?!?! We are in Switzerland where...!?!

3.00Very friendly, welcoming staff etc. On the other hand, the fact that the company only focuses on money is felt enormously, many passengers have a price that borders on prestige ones and that there are no catering or drinks on board is totally deplorable. Fortunately the team on board had nothing to do with it and they were friendly. Bad management :(
Boat the Lausanne!!!! Scam

1.00Le Lausanne boat to avoid. No comfort no outside seat No difference between 1st and 2nd class. The CGN reserves the right to change the boat at the last moment without possibility of reimbursement!
