Gallia

The Gallia extends 62.85 meters in length and accommodates 900 passengers while navigating the waters of Lake Lucerne with its paddle wheel system.

The vessel belongs to a collection of paddle steamers constructed between 1901 and 1928, marking the early development of water transportation in central Switzerland.

The Schiffahrtsgesellschaft des Vierwaldstattersees manages this Class A Swiss cultural property, maintaining traditional maritime practices on Lake Lucerne throughout the seasons.

The steamer connects major destinations including Weggis, Vitznau, Brunnen, and Fluelen, with links to mountain railways and local transportation networks.

During the annual steamer parade, the Gallia performs synchronized formations with other operational paddle steamers across Lake Lucerne.
