It’s a simple ferry boat. Two decks, no outside seating. Easy ride great for a snooze.

Really enjoyed Evian. Suggest you make it clear on ticket that Lausanne to Evian and back is included. We were a bit nervous about that.
The guide for the tour was excellent. The circuit for the tour was also well designed to cover the key highlights of St Malo.
We took a day trip from Lausanne to Evian and back. It was free with our Swiss Travel pass. There are multiple sailings per day. We left at 11 am, had a wander round the town, a delicious lunch and a ride in the funiculaire and were in plenty of time to catch the 2:45 return sailing. A very laidback trip on a nice day.
We were staying in Evian and wanted to reach the UNESCO/vineyard sites across the lake--very worthwhile!. This ferry was an easy and pleasant way to get across. Yes, swiss pricing but very pretty journey. Bring your jacket as it can get cold on the lake! Ticket office was very helpful too. We ended up taking the boat to Cully instead of the train...was a very pretty way to get there. Highly recommend!
Tuesday 21 April 2026: the cgn cancels the boats Évian lausanne due to strong wind! Reality of the terrain: big sun and 15km/h max wind! A shame! Who are we kidding?
Service at a discount for 1 year that mocks users. Late last minute cancellations to the detriment of users. Misallocated schedules not commensurate with needs. Race cancellations are increasing much more regularly compared to previous years. It is legitimate to ask whether this is not voluntary to save on shopping. With such a subscription price the customer is entitled to expect better, at least as well as in the past.
We took the trip from Lausanne to Évian-les-Bains. We had a fantastic boat trip over Lake Geneva. It became an unforgettable trip to beautiful Évian in the summer heat. A nice day trip, and take this trip again.
Very pleasant time, the staff is friendly and accommodating. We arrived two hours before the meeting, they picked us up without problem.
Very welcoming staff. Nevertheless the very rude Security Service no hello or goodbye. Concerns about ego probably ..
I've been traveling with the CGN for years and I have no reproach to do, if I removed a star it's for one thing: their new boat!... It's excruciatingly ugly and inhospitable. It looks like a soulless blockhouse, there are almost no exteriors, it is almost worrying, like a warship. It's a shame, I hope I hardly ever have it to make the crossing.
Beautiful scenery- stay in second class- modern boat with restaurant (so with reservations)-bar and places to sunbath - There is no need to stay in first class because the view and accommodation do not change - only a staircase Suitable baths and views without guides or directions - transportation to different cities and villages -
Despite 1st class tickets, there is no control except when the controller passes by. Area completely occupied by 2nd class tickets. Morality pay less and enjoy the 1 and without worries. In addition, twice we reserved a table for 2 and each time we had our place stolen. Morality don't reserve anything and sit down, you will have priority. Regrettable and unnecessary to pay more for calm and comfort. In this regard, first class is more than modest regarding seats. Disappointing
Very friendly, welcoming staff etc. On the other hand, the fact that the company only focuses on money is felt enormously, many passengers have a price that borders on prestige ones and that there are no catering or drinks on board is totally deplorable. Fortunately the team on board had nothing to do with it and they were friendly. Bad management :(
Le Lausanne boat to avoid. No comfort no outside seat No difference between 1st and 2nd class. The CGN reserves the right to change the boat at the last moment without possibility of reimbursement!
The morning boat was perfectly adapted for people with reduced mobility (dedicated location). The staff were welcoming and caring. The crossing was therefore very pleasant. In the evening it was unfortunately rush hour with many people returning from work and the boat did not have a dedicated berth. The staff was overwhelmed and did not know or could not care about the comfort of two people with reduced mobility stuck among the crowd. This should no longer exist in the 21st century.
This is a very pleasant crossing from Lausanne to Evian lasting 35 minutes. You can buy your ticket either at the ticket counter on the dock or in the boat. The controllers are nice and friendly. It takes about 35 CHF per adult for a round trip and about 15-20 CHF for a child.
Popłynięcia do Evian jest obowiązkowe. Widoki nie do zapomnienia. W obie strony podróż przebiegła bezproblemowo. W drodze powrotnej pogorszyła się pogoda ale podstawiono statek z dużą ilością miejsc w kabinie.
Ideal for crossing to the beautiful also and cheaper French coast. Very nice ride with views of the whole lake, especially on a clear day. 35 minutes from Lausanne to Evian. Of course, a little expensive (36 chf round trip per person). Perhaps they should have more space for those of us who like to feel the wind on our faces during the trip because almost all the places are Covered. The boat, at least ours, a little old. I've seen some much prettier ones. But the best is the result of having crossed, essential if you are traveling in Lausanne.
