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." The boat is stroller accessible.

Dogs are accepted on the boat. They 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. 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. Strong winds can cause delays or disruptions. You can leave the boat at Chillon castle to make a visit. You can then continue your round trip 2 hours later when the boat returns to Chillon. Please check the timetable to make sure you have another boat in the afternoon. At lunchtime, it is possible to eat onboard. It is mandatory to book your table in advance.
