It's an amazing time. Every part of it was wonderful. Having a full ticket allowed me to enjoy my time without being concerned about lining up in different spots or carrying multiple paper tickets.

The catamaran departs every hour. This means you are very flexible in terms of time. The trip is entertaining.

Wrongly assumed the boat tour would have commentary. Also do not recommend doing this as night, although the lights were beautiful we could not see any of the other sights or mountains so was really a waste of money

I had Swiss travel pass and it was already included in my pass. Your company sold the cruise as if there was a different service and not covered in Swiss travel. I was very disappointed after noticing that I was frauded . Please refund my ticket.

LucerneCruises in Lucerne

Set Sail on Lucerne Waters

If Lucerne is on your radar, here’s what you need to know about lucerne cruises. River and bay cruises hand you skyline views without the footwork. Standard sailings last about an hour, but dinner or sunset options stretch the trip and add live commentary. Book a seat on the open deck if photos matter. Seasick? Grab a spot mid‑ship where the motion feels lighter. Plan the basics, then let curiosity lead the way. Remember to carry a reusable water bottle and keep an eye on the local weather forecast so you’re never caught off guard. Remember to carry a reusable water bottle and keep an eye on the local weather forecast so you’re never caught off guard.

Lucerne Cruises puts the city skyline on the water.

- Hop‑on river boats for flexible sightseeing
- Leisurely sunset sailings with cocktails
- Dinner cruises that mix live music and local dishes

Arrive 15 minutes early to claim a deck seat. Bring a light jacket; breezes drop the temperature at night.

Special events like fireworks nights sell out fast. Which sailing time excites you?
Bring a reusable bottle, wear comfortable shoes, and keep your camera ready. Local hosts love questions—ask about their favorite neighborhood spot.
Track weather updates and pack a light raincoat.
Keep sunscreen and a hat in your day pack.
