At a Glance

• Departure: Daily at 12:00, all year round
• Duration: Approx. 1h45m
• Meal: The chef's seasonal three-course lunch (meat or vegetarian option), one soft drink, and one coffee or tea
• Boarding: E-ticket, simply show it on board
• Pass discount: Discounted fare with the Swiss Travel Pass (STP)
• Changes and refunds: Free date change or full refund if your chosen date is fully booked; tickets are non-refundable and non-exchangeable once issued

• A proper lunch: Three courses of seasonal ingredients from the chef. This is no quick bite, but a lunch you can settle into and enjoy.
• Views with every bite: During the "golden 20 minutes" after departure and before return, the boat glides through the open Lucerne Bay. On a clear, calm day, you might spot Mt. Pilatus mirrored in the emerald water. Fair warning: you may forget to pick up your fork.
• Just the right timing: The boat leaves at 12:00, so after lunch on the lake you still have the whole afternoon to explore Lucerne.
• Photo tip: Wander out to the rear deck between courses. It has the widest view, so you can fit the mountains, the lake and the boat's wake into one frame.
