About Lucerne Boat Trip

A guide for your day on the lake

Lucerne Boat Trip is an independent guide for everyone planning time on the water in Lucerne. Here you will find how the cruises differ, what tickets and travel passes cover, how the timetable changes through the year, how to reach Pilatus and Rigi by boat, where to eat on board, when a private boat makes sense, how to plan a day trip from Zurich, what the lake itself is like, and how the public boats link the villages.

The site is available in English and five additional languages. It is written first in English.

How we research

Every number on our pages comes from a source that we link to at the bottom of the page: mostly the Lake Lucerne Navigation Company, Lucerne Tourism, the Pilatus and Rigi railways, the Swiss Travel System and the Swiss federal offices, with climate data from MeteoSwiss. Information on tours, that is duration, languages, inclusions, and starting prices, is taken from the offers on GetYourGuide.

A clear view of the Alps cannot be ordered, and timetables, ships and mountain railways change with the season. Listings also differ in what they include, a guide or a meal above all. That is why we tell you plainly what a listing states and what it leaves open.

How we make money

Lucerne Boat Trip is funded through the GetYourGuide affiliate program. When you book through one of our links, we receive a commission; your price remains the same. There are no advertising banners here, and we do not sell your data.
