Spectacular Swiss travel experience! - Cruising on Lake Geneva in your old fashioned lake bateau was an amazing fun experience. The views from the boat were spectacular ! And arriving by bateau to Chillon Castle was a million dollar view! One comment: a return schedule posted on that board by the dock would have been helpful.

Great cruise with views along the shore & across the lake - The internet advised to book this trip early, however, you can hop on & off the boat at various stops, just check the CGN schedule. As you also get discount tickets when staying in the area, another reason to wait till you get to Switzerland. That said - I suspect it could be busy in the summer months. We got on at Vevey (paddle steamer Italie) & had 2 hour cruise along the shore to Montreux ( it stops before here & also at Montreux) Then Chateaux de Chillon before heading towards the other side of the lake. Another couple of stops then directly back across to Vevey. Very comfortable facilities. Worth the little extra for First class,as better seating & lounge.

I enjoyed the typical Swiss scenery. - Shortly after leaving Vevey, you can see the fork piercing Lake Geneva in front of the Alimentarium from the lake side. The slopes of the Lavaux region were also beautiful. I was able to spend a relaxing time in this Swiss resort. I really got a sense of the richness of Switzerland. Even if the finish line wasn't Château de Sion, it was a satisfying cruise.

A beautiful walk on the lake - Very pleasant little cruise with lunch in a magnificent 130 year old paddle steamer. From Vevey we pass Tour-de-Peilz, Clarens, Montreux, Territet, Chateau de Chillon, etc.

Hot and sweaty. Too many stops for unenthused kids - Booking was easy, however it was not made clear that there was a distinct 1st class/2nd class system in place and 2nd class didn’t even guarantee a seat on an overcrowded deck with no shade.
