Feast your way from Alpine pasture to Alpine pasture, glide across the lake in style, taste mountain cheese varieties or recharge your batteries amidst the jaw-dropping scenery.

There is no more stylish way to experience the sunset on Lake Constance: Gourmet cruises and other events are offered on the lavishly renovated Hohentwiel paddle steamship. NEW: First put into service in 1928, the MS Oesterreich was the first large-motor vessel on Lake Constance. Its luxurious, Art-Deco style appearance inspired passengers from the very beginning. Over the course of four years, it was completely restored and will now embark on its second maiden voyage in 2019. From “Sundowners” to “Mainau Insel Cruises” there are many thematic and round trips planned!
