Overview

Sometimes there simply isn't enough time to spend an entire day on magnificent Lake Lucerne, but for those moments we are pleased to offer convenient short cruises. These still allow you to enjoy the best of the lake and get a feel for the fantastic mountain landscape in the heart of the Swiss Alps. We recommend the round-trip journey from Lucerne to Kehrsiten-Bürgenstock and back aboard our elegant catamaran. Just stay on the ship when it docks at the Kehrsiten-Bürgenstock pier, for the immediate return to Lucerne.
Snacks and drinks can be purchased at a vending machine on board.

This was not a ‘cruise’...

1.00This was not a ‘cruise’ but more a transport to and from another town nearby - no local information - just a silent ride to and back to your pickup point. All of this is included in a Swiss pass, which I had and so paid for something that I didn’t need to pay for. The marketing is misleading on this. Save yourself the dollars.
Beautiful Lake Lucerne

4.00The catamaran dock was easy to find. Boarding and departing the catamaran was quick and well organised. The hour went fast as there was so much to look at, even if it was overcast and the mountains were hidden. Very smooth experience.

3.00We booked a 1-hour catamaran cruise and we got a glorified tugboat. Workers said the catamaran was in for repairs. We weren't notified or given the option to cancel. We were disappointed that we didn't cruise on a catamaran, however the "tugboat" was sufficient to cruise on Lake Lucerne and take in all of the Lucerne beauty!

Not a Catamaran

3.00The cruise is lovely but it definitely wasn’t a catamaran and was just the standard ferry that travels back and forward across the lake. Feel the advertising was quite misleading.

5.00Great boat ride! Incredible sights and the perfect amount of time. I also get sea sick on boats and did not have that issue at all!
Great little cruise

5.00Traveled with friends on a day trip to Lucerne. The cruise was relaxing, scenic and comfortable at the end of our day and docked right next to the train station . There was no narration but we didn’t mind and I’m not sure one was needed. Refreshments and beer were sold on board. It’s also a commuter boat to a resort.
