Stadt Luzern, Historic paddle steamer on Lake Lucerne, Switzerland
The Stadt Luzern measures 63.5 meters in length and carries 1,200 passengers across Lake Lucerne through its system of paddle wheels and steam engine.
Built in 1928, the Stadt Luzern marks the final paddle steamer constructed for Swiss lakes and hosted Queen Elizabeth II during her 1980 state visit.
The paddle steamer features an Art Deco saloon from the 1920s and maintains its status as a class A Swiss cultural property of national significance.
Following a renovation of 13.3 million Swiss francs completed in 2021, the vessel offers regular cruises, private charters, and specialized dining experiences.
The Stadt Luzern operates with a three-cylinder Sulzer steam engine that powers two paddle wheels, reaching speeds of 29.8 kilometers per hour.
