Day-trip pleasure cruises on Lake Geneva in Switzerland are very popular with many boats departing daily from major sights such as Genève, Lausanne, Montreux, Nyon, Evian, and Yvoire. These day-trip excursion cruises on Lac Léman are often fairly expensive but several special deals are available to bring prices down. All Swiss transportation passes are valid on Lake Geneva cruise boats while the Junior Card allows children to travel for free with parents.
CGN pleasure boats cruising on Lake Geneva between Switzerland and France have first class and second class sections. Second class is often a false economy for tourists as second class passengers do not have access to the open-top decks that offer the best views of Lake Geneva, vineyards, and the Alps.

Lausanne is an important departure port for boats cruising on Lake Geneva (Lac Léman) between Switzerland and France. Passenger ferry boat services connect Lausanne with the French cities Evian and Thonon-les-Bains. Pleasure boat cruises depart from Lausanne on day excursions to all parts of Lake Geneva including Genève, Nyon, Morges, Yvoire, Vevey, Montreux, Chateau de Chillon, and St Gingolph. Savings deals and cheaper offers are available to reduce ticket prices which are often far from cheap.
Dinner and lunch cruises are available (with fondue cruises popular in winter, autumn, and spring). Ferries, pleasure boats, and historic paddle steamers from Lausanne are operated by the Compagnie Générale de Navigation sur le Lac Léman (CGN). Lausanne is not only a popular departure point for boat cruises but also located where the Alpine backdrop over Lake Geneva is at its most beautiful.
