Steamboat Schiller


The iconic steamer

Built in 1906 and named after the famed German poet, PS Schiller is one of the most beloved steamboats in Switzerland. With its elegant appearance, tall funnel and bright red paddle wheels it has a particularly graceful appearance. The 1st Class salon on the main deck features Art Nouveau decorations and marvellous wood paneling.

This beautiful steamboat is a classic summer vessel and best suited for medium-sized festive events or relaxed receptions during the warm season.
