Lake trips are sold as boats, cruises and mountain combinations. These are the ones that genuinely differ, and what to check before booking.
An hour on a modern hybrid catamaran from central Lucerne, with Rigi and the Bürgenstock in view.
Boat from Lucerne to Vitznau — historic steamers in summer — then the rack railway up Rigi.
Bus and panorama gondola up Pilatus, down the world's steepest cogwheel railway to Alpnachstad, and back to Lucerne across the lake.
A lunchtime first-class sailing to Vitznau or Küssnacht and back, with a set vegetarian or non-vegetarian menu.
A panoramic hour on the lake from the Schweizerhofquai pier, with seats on the open deck or in the onboard restaurant.
Across the lake by catamaran, then the funicular up to the Bürgenstock resort and the Hammetschwand lift, the highest free-standing outdoor lift in Europe.
