Simplon
The most imposing steamboat in the fleet! With the same dimensions as the flagship LA SUISSE, this large steamboat will impress with its force and the responsiveness of its engine. It’s the first CGN steamboat in which the boiler is at the back of the boat and the engine at the front, which changes the silhouette of the boat due to the position of its chimney.
With an intimate and elegant ambiance, the boats of the CGN Belle Époque fleet are the ideal place to organize a gala or wedding meal.

Italie
A legendary boat! Renovated in 2016 and identical to its twin the VEVEY, the ITALIE is considered by many as “legendary” for the nearly 50 years that it has travelled the Le Bouveret - Geneva route between April and October, marking daily life for the residents with its whistle as it approached the landings.

Rhône
The RHÔNE started its career on the occasion of the Fête des Vignerons of 1927. It particularly stands out through the steam machine and its automated greasing mechanism. The RHÔNE is appreciated in summer for its largely open upper deck that is to be retained in its future general renovation.
