The flagship
The stately steamboat Stadt Luzern is the flagship of our fleet. It is also the largest and most impressive passenger vessel on Lake Lucerne. With its maritime appearance and wide funnel, it mimics the great ocean liners of the early 20th century. Built in 1928 as the last paddle steamer for a Swiss lake and fitted with elegant Art Deco saloon, the vessel hosted Queen Elizabeth II on a state visit in 1980. This elegant ship is best suited for exclusive events from spring to autumn.

Until 2021, the steamer Stadt Luzern will complete a comprehensive overhaul at our own shipyard. The historic features of the vessel are being skillfully repaired and revived, including the splendid lounges and salons. The ship is also being fitted with a new steam boiler and once it returns to the lake, it will be designated as a protected historic monument.
