New event experiences on Lake Lucerne

D05_MS2017-56Get business partners on boardThe main deck is the largest of all five decks of the MS Diamant and is suitable for presentations, seminars, exhibitions and dinners. The salon can accommodate up to 200 banquet guests, and another room for a maximum of 24 people is available in the bow. With the gallery open, the podium in the center of the salon is slightly elevated, allowing for speeches or lectures.Presentations for a larger audience can be acoustically transmitted to the upper deck, which offers up to 196 banquet seats. In addition, the beamers in the two decks can be linked together. For concerts, SGV organizes the necessary sound system, and existing event cabling simplifies installation. Alphorn players, DJs, jazz musicians, magicians, comedians and caricaturists can also be booked as on-board entertainment, or fireworks can be organized. Route explanations around the lake are provided by the skipper on request. All additional services are available for an additional charge.Gastronomie Vierwaldstättersee is responsible for catering on board, serving, among other things, specially brewed beer. Special gastro events such as standing flying services or food stations with life cooking are also possible on the main and upper decks.In fine weather, the more than 100 outdoor seats at the stern and on the sun deck offer space for aperitifs or sun-downers. A special feature of the sundeck is the eight-seat Compass Lounge, which always faces north while cruising. For experiences very close to the water, the seawater foot bath in the stern and the Nautilus room in the hull with underwater views are suitable.Flexible boardingThe motor vessel Diamant is SGV's current customer magnet. "Until now, about a third of all extra trips took place on the catamaran Cirrus, this will probably change somewhat this year due to the new introduction of the MS Diamant," says Martina Kumli, Marketing Manager Shipping at SGV. She emphasizes that the interests and requests are very diverse and so are the wishes. In addition to numerous package offers such as the winter or summer trip on the catamaran or the winter offers on the steamship Uri, there is the possibility to tailor the program. The numerous ship stations around Lake Lucerne offer flexible embarkation and disembarkation points, and thanks to a standing ship rental at a jetty, guests can arrive and depart individually. If desired, boat trips can be combined with excursions - for example to a mountain on Lake Viewaldstättersee - or social programs such as a pirate raid.
