The steam boat, the views and the atmosphere, everything was fantastic thank you.

When you've explored Geneva enough on land, it's time to hit the waters and drink in views of the city from a new perspective. Your cruise begins from the Pierres du Niton, where you will cruise towards the Pointe à la Bise. Gaze out at Geneva’s famous Jet d’Eau here, an iconic fountain the city is known for! You'll also get views of the Mont-Blanc Mountains, the surrounding Alps, and world-renowned landmarks like the United Nations office. You'll find elegantly manicured gardens lining the lake shores, and stunning flora and fauna enveloping you! This scenic sightseeing cruise promises an idyllic setting, and is an absolute must for first-timers in Geneva!

You may download an app with relevant information about the cruise at the cashier's desk (a free WiFi zone) for additional context during the cruise!
