Why not combine a train and boat trip with some fine on-board dining? The many boats that continually traverse the transparent waters of Lake Biel, Lake Neuchâtel and Lake Murten offer stunning views of idyllic panoramas and gossamer horizons.

The “Neuchâtel” steamboat

Relive the “Belle Époque” era on board the “Neuchâtel”, the last remaining steamboat in the Three Lakes region, and marvel at the regular motion of its paddles and pistons. Recommissioned in 2014 after three years of renovation work, the boat – which dates from 1912 – now operates regular services again on Lakes Neuchâtel and Murten and is frequently used on the Two Lakes cruise between Murten and Neuchâtel.

Catering

The boats offer a varied and tempting choice of menus, snacks and drinks. Reservations are recommended for meals. Other dining options are available at the port of Biel/Bienne or en route at the stop on St. Peter's Island.
