What awaits you on the cruise

The boat trip on Lake Thun is a classic, timeless supporting programme. Your group will experience the region from the water, with uninterrupted views of the Bernese Alps, historic castles and charming lakeside towns.

On board, there is room for conversation, dialogue and relaxation. Depending on the route, the cruise is suitable as a connecting prelude, as a break between programme items or as an atmospheric conclusion to an event day.

What makes this supporting programme so special:

  • Can be organised all year round
  • Panoramic views of the lake and mountains
  • Peaceful experience without physical demands
  • Easy to plan and organise
  • Can be combined very well with land programmes

Why and how it suits a business event

An extra trip with BLS Schifffahrt deliberately transfers your event to the water. The movement of the ship, the panorama and the open horizon create an atmosphere that facilitates dialogue and stimulates new ideas. At the same time, the organisational framework remains clear and can be reliably planned.

Particularly suitable for:

  • Company and team events with a focus on networking
  • Customer events with a strong regional focus
  • Programme points between seminar parts
  • Groups with different age structures
  • Events that can be safely organised all year round

Whether as an integrated supporting programme or as a stand-alone event. A boat trip can be easily integrated into existing event concepts and provides a calm, effective accent.
