Overview

Sometimes there simply isn't enough time to spend an entire day on magnificent Lake Lucerne, but for those moments we are pleased to offer convenient short cruises. These still allow you to enjoy the best of the lake and get a feel for the fantastic mountain landscape in the heart of the Swiss Alps. We recommend the round-trip journey from Lucerne to Kehrsiten-Bürgenstock and back aboard our elegant catamaran. Just stay on the ship when it docks at the Kehrsiten-Bürgenstock pier, for the immediate return to Lucerne. Snacks and drinks can be purchased at a vending machine on board.

What's included

  • WiFi on board
  • 1-hour catamaran cruise
  • Drinks and snacks (available for purchase onboard)
  • NO Audioguide or guide

    Good investment

    A great way to see Lake Lucern in a smooth ride. Place for everyone to sit , some space to stand in the open area for photo shots. Runs precisely on time!

    Lucerne’s best

    Our guide was very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and energetic. She took the time to communicate with everyone in the group. This tour is definitely worthy your time and money.

    GO! But NOT this way.

    Pro tip at the end… Don’t get fooled! This is a veiled repackaging of a standard Swiss public transport stop at standard rates from Luzern pier 3 to Kehrsiten-Bürgenstock and back. This is why they say “no tour guide.” Route BAT 3602 leaves pier 3 at 7 min past the hour (at least pm hours when I went). Check times yourself. Just get on and pay on board when they check for tickets. If you have a Swiss Travel pass, you pay nothing extra. Tip for FANTASTIC 1 hr sunset cruise: Board within 1 hr of sunset, 30 min before would be best. Get in line at pier 3 (early for your pick of seat). NO ticket needed (pay on board). Facing the front, I recommend you sit at the upper back left corner (back right if departing within 15 min of sunset or soon after sunset). The city was super busy Saturday night on a beautiful day, in mid September, but hardly anyone on this trip. Enjoy!

    Don’t bother this is not a sunset cruise. It’s a charter with no amenities.

    This was horrible. It was not a sense of cruise. It was a shuttle service back-and-forth to a different port of the lake. Couldn’t even get a glass of wine or a glass of champagne for sunset.

    Boat Trip was nice!

    Not a guided tour. A lovely trip around the lake on a beautiful boat! Only takes an hour. Nice transport to the Stoos train!
