Description

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.

Paid for a Tour which was free to others with passes.

The boat tour did not have any commentary or information during the cruise. The Catamaran is very nice. BUT people should know that this tour is covered FREE with a Swiss Rail Pass or by hotels in the area who provide a free pass for buses, cruises. So we paid for a tour with Viator which was free with our passes. Viator should warn you when booking. Very disappointed.

Operator response

It is wonderful to hear that you enjoyed your cruise. As stated in the program description, this cruise is a scenic round trip designed to let guests enjoy the beautiful views and does not include commentary via loudspeaker or similar announcements. Starting next summer, we will once again offer our Panorama Cruise with an audio guide. We would be delighted to welcome you on board again for that experience. That is correct, this cruise is included free of charge with the Swiss Travel Pass. However, hotels do not provide complimentary tickets. As a Swiss Travel Pass holder, we recommend checking directly with the respective providers to see whether other excursions or services are included or available at a reduced rate with the Swiss Travel Pass. Please contact Viator Customer Care and provide them with a copy of your Swiss Travel Pass. They will then get in touch with us so that we can review whether a refund can be issued.

My husband and I were traveling for our honeymoon and this 1 hour cruise on Lake Lucerne was very nice. It gave us a great opportunity to see more of the lake and the surrounding areas. Staff was polite and nice. Great for different weather. They have an inside and outside area.

Nice boat tour on the lake… exactly as described… Get on the boat, ride around the lake, get off the boat. For people who don’t want to do a more adventuresome experience around Lake Lucerne, this was perfect.

Lovely cruise on a nice boat!

It’s the perfect amount of time to be on a boat, cruising around, looking at the gorgeous SWISS Alps and charming Lucerne scenery while in comfortable seats.

No commentary

Boat was very nice and ride was smooth. No commentary of sites on the water during the 1hr. It would have been nice to know some history and sites we saw.

The local host was knowledgeable and helpful during our visit. The cost was less than excursions provided by the cruise line.
