Vevey, Historical paddle steamer in Ouchy, Switzerland

The Vevey, a passenger vessel operating on Lake Geneva, carries visitors between Swiss and French ports along the northern shore of the lake.

The vessel forms part of the Steam Boats of CGN fleet on Lake Geneva, designated as a class B Swiss cultural property of regional significance.

Passengers can board the Vevey at multiple stops between Lausanne and Geneva, with services running according to seasonal schedules from spring through autumn.
