A 2-hour cruise is just enough time to discover the beauty of Switzerland from aboard its shimmering waters. At the Vevey pier, you'll board a historic paddle steamer and depart towards the city of Montreux. As you sail upon Lake Geneva, you'll notice stunning views of the Swiss and French Alps envelop around you. You'll then see the famous Chillon Castle: one of Switzerland's most visited historic monuments.
Feel free to deboard here and explore the castle further on your own (note that entry into this attraction is not included in the price of your ticket and must be self-sponsored). Whenever you're done, reboard the paddle steamer and head back to the Vevey pier, the beginning of your tour. This boat has several departure timings during the day, so you needn't worry about time restrictions at the castle. You'll sail past the towns of Villeneuve, Le Bouveret, and St Gingolph on your way back, and have extensive views of the famous Lavaux vineyards on the shore.
