A 2-hour cruise is just enough time to discover the beauty of Switzerland from aboard its shimmering waters. At the Vevey pier, you'll board a historic paddle steamer and depart towards the city of Montreux. As you sail upon Lake Geneva, you'll notice stunning views of the Swiss and French Alps envelop around you. You'll then see the famous Chillon Castle: one of Switzerland's most visited historic monuments.

Feel free to deboard here and explore the castle further on your own (note that entry into this attraction is not included in the price of your ticket and must be self-sponsored). Whenever you're done, reboard the paddle steamer and head back to the Vevey pier, the beginning of your tour. This boat has several departure timings during the day, so you needn't worry about time restrictions at the castle. You'll sail past the towns of Villeneuve, Le Bouveret, and St Gingolph on your way back, and have extensive views of the famous Lavaux vineyards on the shore.

Booking FAQs

Wheelchair access is usually possible but it depends on how busy the boat is and its size. Toilets for disabled people are available on all our boats except the "Col-Vert" and the "Général-Guisan".

There are up to 4 departures per day and your ticket is valid for any of the departure times. You can leave the boat at Chillon Castle for your visit. Your round-trip cruise will be 2 hours later when the boat returns to Chillon. Please check the timetable of the cruise to ensure there is another boat in the afternoon. Strong winds may cause delays or disruptions. You may eat onboard at lunchtime at your own expense, but booking in advance is mandatory. To enter French territory, Swiss citizens must have a valid identity document (ID card or passport). All others will need an ID card or passport with a valid visa if required. Dogs will not be permitted onboard. Dogs generally need a second-class half-fare ticket. They may also travel first class. However, small dogs (no more than 30 cm shoulder height), in a basket or similar, travel free of charge.
