Vevey 2-Hour Riviera Cruise

Vevey sits right at the edge of the Lavaux vineyards on Lac Léman, in Switzerland, and this two-hour CGN cruise boards there instead of Montreux. It runs the same Riviera shoreline toward Château de Chillon and back, a circular trip from a quieter pier.

The Riviera from the Vevey pier

From Vevey the boat heads along the Riviera front toward Montreux and Château de Chillon, then circles back. Off one side the Lavaux terraces climb the slope in stone-walled rows; off the other the Alps rise across the lake. Vevey itself is the gateway to the Lavaux vineyards, so you start closer to the wine country than the Montreux departures do. The route and the two-hour length match the Montreux loop; only the boarding point changes.

Timing, who it suits and passes

Sailings follow the CGN seasonal timetable, concentrated from late April to mid-October, with a reduced winter service. At about CHF 38 it fits travellers staying on the Vevey or Lavaux side who would rather not backtrack to Montreux, and it carries a 4.4 rating across 133 reviews on the listing. The smaller review base simply reflects the quieter pier.

The boat passes Château de Chillon; entry to the castle is a separate ticket, not part of the fare. On CGN's scheduled line sailings the Swiss Travel Pass covers the ride. See live dates and prices →
