Steamboat Schiller

Classic paddle steamer on Lake Lucerne

The steamboat Schiller is one of the most impressive historic vessels on Lake Lucerne, admired for its timeless elegance. As a classic paddle steamer, it combines the tradition of steam navigation with a truly unique atmosphere and is one of the icons of the fleet.

The ship's centrepiece is its magnificent Art Nouveau saloon. Fine materials such as lemonwood, ebony and mother-of-pearl give the First Class saloon its distinctive character. The elegant ambience is complemented by the cosy Schiller lounge on the upper deck and an upper deck that can be partially enclosed with side wind protection, ensuring comfort even in changeable weather.
