Excellent way to see beautiful landscape with the simplicity of a boat ride. I highly recommend getting the first class tickets to enjoy the top deck which is also less crowded

I purchased a standard ticket which was good, was able to sit anywhere. I brought my own snacks on board. Toilets are very clean and there are also baby changing facilities. Staff were helpful and gave clear advice. I hopped off to visit Castle Chillon and walked to Villeneuve to catch a boat back to Lausanne. Unfortunately the boat returning to Lausanne had issues but the CGN staff was very helpful to advice how I could get back to Lausanne. The refund process was very quick and without any fuss. The staff that emailed me was very empathetic too.

it was a beautiful ride, we were lucky with the weather. i was intrigued that we were riding a paddle-/steamboat and we got the first class as it was less crowded and gave us excellent view. in the end it was a little bit expensive but kinda worth it even though we just sat there for 3h and took in the view of mountains, alps, cities, vineyards, paragliders etc.
