Travel to Geneva for a tour through the historic and picturesque heart of Geneva’s Old Town. Discover the Cathedral, the Town Hall and the hidden lanes and flower-filled squares of this impulsive city.
In the afternoon, enjoy a circular lake cruise on the biggest lake in Switzerland, Lake Geneva. Nestled amidst the Alps, this is a true inland sea. Relax and watch the magnificent landscapes glide by.
From the rolling hillsides of La Côte to the climbing vineyards of Lavaux, from the steep cliffs of the French Chablais to the luminous banks of Haute-Savoie, the fleet of the Compagnie Générale de Navigation is at your disposal.

In Chamonix you will be greeted by majestic mountain peaks, lush green forests, wonderful wooden chalets and the magnificent Mont Blanc Glacier.
Relax and enjoy lunch or coffee and cake while absorbing the mountaineering history of this famous village.
Today you visit the city of Fribourg. Nestled in the heart of Switzerland, Fribourg has something for everyone.

In the afternoon you have some free time to explore the city on your own.
Today you travel on to the well-known medieval town of Gruyères, at the foot of the Alps. You will be enchanted by the charm and picturesque architecture of this medieval town, which has given its name to the area and to its delicious cheese.
