The Vevey Boat: The Best Spot to See Santa Flying Over Montreux

During the holidays, the Montreux Christmas Market draws visitors from all over the world who come to admire its must-see spectacle: Santa Claus soaring through the air in his sleigh. But did you know there’s a secret spot, far from the crowds on the waterfront, where you can experience this enchanting moment up close and personal?  

An Enchanting Getaway Aboard the Belle Époque Boat “Vevey”

For this unique occasion, the CGN is adorning one of its finest vessels, the “Vevey,” with its most dazzling festive decorations. This historic landmark of Switzerland’s naval heritage offers an elegant and intimate setting for a winter getaway on Lake Geneva. On board, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming: the heated panoramic lounges allow you to admire the illuminated shores of the Vaud Riviera while enjoying a gourmet and festive experience.  

Why Experience "Santa's Flight" From the Lake?

As it glides across the calm waters of Lake Geneva at the exact moment of the flight, the boat offers a completely unique panoramic view:
  • An unobstructed view: Watch the sleigh soar through the night sky without any visual obstructions.
  • A magical panorama: enjoy the view of the thousands of lights at the Montreux market and the snow-capped peaks of the Alps.
  • Exclusive comfort: away from the crowds, enjoy the show in peace, with a drink in hand.
A truly enchanting getaway that will delight families in search of magic as well as those who love unique and unusual experiences.
