Boat trip Lake Lucerne and Lake Zug

Enjoy a boat trip on Lake Lucerne and take excursions with the fleet to Bürgenstock, Rigi or Lucerne.

Boat trip Lake Lucerne and Lake Zug

Surrounded by many of Switzerland's most famous excursion mountains, Lake Lucerne is one of the most diverse lakes in the country. Its shape and breathtaking surroundings are somewhat reminiscent of a fjord landscape.

The lake owes its name to the four "forest sites" bordering it, the three original cantons of Uri, Schwyz and Unterwalden and the canton of Lucerne, which surround the lake area.

One of the highlights of the region is undoubtedly a cruise on one of the four historic paddle steamers or one of the 15 elegant saloon motor ships.

Many of the most important and beautiful destinations and mountain railways in Central Switzerland can be reached comfortably and with a view by boat. These include the Rigi, the Pilatus, the Bürgenstock or the Klewenalp.

MANU inclusive service

In Central Switzerland, all MANU guests enjoy free travel on the scheduled boats of the Swiss shipping lines on Lake Lucerne and Lake Zug for 6 and 13 days respectively. The boats run regularly on both lakes and can be used flexibly for excursions of all kinds.

The surrounding mountain landscape with Rigi, Pilatus, Titlis, Klewenalp and many more is particularly impressive. Let yourself drift and savour this unique panorama.
