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.

Wonderful cruise, exceptional service - My 3rd season as a Horizon member. I love the Italie!!! And the service crew is exceptional. I had a wonderful cruise and lunch last week. Franck and Sophie were so professional...The service in the dining room is 1st class!!! Thank you!

Best experience - The beautiful boat, good lunch and excellent service! Thank you thé thé professional service staff; Frank, Sophie!

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.

Boat full Vevey to drink!!! Bar closed - Excellent clean punctual boats nice but no one at the bar for 2 hours cruise ... answer on the fly we are not enough we take care of the first classes ... CQFD 30 degrees not enough to drink Switzerland if lesson giver with in addition the hotel school at the foot of the boats with 40,000 border ... does not serve in its mythical boats .,, for lack of personnel ...surprising especially when we know the Awards .., I was disappointed cruise RIVIERA Montreux st gin golf Vevey back

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.
