Unique Three Lakes Cruise

This region has a huge amount to offer visitors yet is relatively unknown for most UK visitors. Quieter than some other regions but with some very pretty lakeside scenery and historic towns, the 3 Lakes area will be a delight to discover. You’ll cruise on Lake Neuchâtel – Switzerland’s largest lake - Lake Biel and Lake Murten, each connected by canals. With two nights on board, you will see some glorious scenery and have plenty of opportunities to explore the villages and countryside around the lakes. 

With the smell of fresh coffee in the air, a hearty breakfast is served in the Captain’s Lounge or outside on the sun deck. Drinks and snacks are served throughout the day and are included in the price. On one evening, guests disembark to dine in a carefully selected restaurant serving quality local dishes and wines. This is a real treat, dining alongside the locals and having a flavour of authentic Switzerland. On the other evening, a delicious meal known as the Captain's Dinner is brought on board for you to enjoy on the Attila. After dinner, guests can relax and enjoy a nightcap from the honesty bar. 

The Attila has a platform from which you can swim freely and experience being not only on the lake but in the lake! You could also try stand up paddle boarding on the calm waters. Or you may prefer to simply relax on board with a drink and soak up the sun amid the wonderful scenery.

Included in the price are a couple of pre-arranged tours. During your leisure time ashore there's also plenty of time to visit picturesque towns and historic places of interest. You may also enjoy the option of hiring bikes and cycling along the lake shore, or exploring St. Peter's Island on an hour's walk.
