Step aboard the historic steamship Gallia, Europe’s fastest steamship, and experience “Legends of Lake Lucerne” – a 5-hour cruise through Swiss history, nature, and storytelling. With just 65 guests, this exclusive journey combines panoramic views, fine dining, and storytelling in an intimate setting.

Enjoy a five-course menu made with regional ingredients, paired with selected wines and champagne. Thanks to our “flying service,” you can savour three courses wherever you enjoy the view most.

Tales like William Tell and the Rütli Oath come to life as Casimir Friedrich Knörr – founder of steamboat navigation on Lake Lucerne – guides you through a world of vision and myth.

Explore the Gallia behind the scenes, speak with the crew or the captain, and discover the ship’s blend of tradition and innovation – including its solar-assisted steam engine.

Stunning Alpine views, warm service, and captivating stories make this cruise more than a journey – it’s a legend you become part of.

    After a warm welcome we were taken on a journey through the stories and legends of Central Switzerland. Entertaining, exciting, with a lot of humor, great Service and excellent culinary experiences, this unique day will be remembered. Must sees: Lake Lucerne exclusive and the trip belongs on every bucket list. Thanks to the great team aboard DS Galia!

    What a wonderful day, with the Legends of Lucerne. A big praise to all who are involved and who had the courage to create such a unique and high-quality product. The food was great cinema, as was the honourable Mr Knörr, who leads the journey in a varied, pointed and very entertaining way. All staff - Service, nautical, kitchen - were excellent, warm and competent. Time has flown by on this beautifully maintained ship. We enjoyed it extremely much and strongly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to treat themselves to something special or give away. Thank you for this great day!
