4.00It was a very nice ship, we didn't know it was a regular trip stopping in many places, and you can visit it and wait a coupñe of hour for the next ship

5.00Beautiful few hours on board very cool paddle boat. Easy to find dock. Get there on time, it leaves promptly. It makes a few stops, goes by breathtaking scenery. Crew is very pleasant and professional. Just get the second class, first isn’t worth it. Excellent value! We toured winery we had viewed the day before from boat since it looked so pretty in Lavaux area.

5.00We hopped on and off the boat at Vevey. We upgraded to first class which was worth the extra. Discount it’s our local card. The deck had deckchairs and cushions outside, and was a really lovely way to while away 3 hours. the sun shone and the boat cruised gently across the lake. Getting on and off at the stops looked easy and would be happy to recommend. Food and drink available and the staff came round to ask if we wanted anything.
Horrible holiday tour, we will never buy tickets on this boat again.

1.00Every year we take this option for the holidays. This time we decided to change the distance and take a boat not from Geneva but from Lausanne. We bought tickets with a lunch menu and, as every year, we arrived in Lausanne in a festive atmosphere to continue our day on January 1. Much to our disappointment, we were led into a hall with tables as in a canteen, explaining that there was no room for us downstairs, where it was decorated for the holidays. The atmosphere was already ruined. I wanted to get up and leave. They brought us a festive dish without decoration or color, to take to the street bistro where we serve something better. In addition, the fish was undercooked. The service also improves it, saving the waiters from waiting for some time for the order and the passengers themselves from clearing the tables. When we sat at the table, there were a lot of food products of all kinds, fries, etc. It seems that the conveyor belt in the factory changes without stopping and there is no time to remove it. Terrible experience, we will of course never take up this option again. I was just waiting for this tour to end.
A great Adventure...

5.00Those who are in the Lac Leman region should not hesitate to visit the cities by CGN ships (cgn.ch). In the first class (recommended), restaurant with good food and wine options, normal prices from Switzerland. You can, for example, go to Chilon Castle, passing through the Lavaux vineyards, enjoying a local wine. There are various schedules and itineraries available.
Take the tour but forget the “first class” ticket

2.00We booked 2 first class tickets at a cost of around €150 which should include a greeter but didn’t. Made our own way upstairs and left to our own devices. I know it says no food or drinks but for that price I would expect a complimentary glass of champagne at the very least. Tour was great but to be honest you would see just as much on the level below for a fraction of the price. To sum up, take the tour but just buy a normal ticket 😉
