This one-hour lake tour takes you round the arm of the lake on which Lucerne is located, the luzerner seebecken, and thanks to audio guides with headphones you get commentary on the landscapes and historic sites you're gliding past - in any one of 11 languages. The vessel you travel on is the Saphir, a brand new ship whose design is closely modelled on large, luxurious motor yachts. It has a sliding roof which is opened, weather permitting. You can get on at Schweizerhof quay or at Bahnhofquai. Snack bar on board.
