Crossing Lake Geneva
It’s a simple ferry boat. Two decks, no outside seating. Easy ride great for a snooze.

Really enjoyed Evian....
Really enjoyed Evian. Suggest you make it clear on ticket that Lausanne to Evian and back is included. We were a bit nervous about that.

Dissatisfaction
Tuesday 21 April 2026: the cgn cancels the boats Évian lausanne due to strong wind! Reality of the terrain: big sun and 15km/h max wind! A shame! Who are we kidding?

unsatisfactory service
Service at a discount for 1 year that mocks users. Late last minute cancellations to the detriment of users. Misallocated schedules not commensurate with needs. Race cancellations are increasing much more regularly compared to previous years. It is legitimate to ask whether this is not voluntary to save on shopping. With such a subscription price the customer is entitled to expect better, at least as well as in the past.

Fantastic boat trip
We took the trip from Lausanne to Évian-les-Bains. We had a fantastic boat trip over Lake Geneva. It became an unforgettable trip to beautiful Évian in the summer heat. A nice day trip, and take this trip again.
