Nestled in deep valley cuts, Lake Lucerne lies before you. Gentle river meadows rise up, wild rocks soar towards the sky. Tonight you will leave Lucerne before the old year ends. On board a ship, you will spend an unforgettable New Year's Eve night on the lake. With an elegant five-course dinner, entertaining live music, and midnight champagne. Corks pop towards the sky, but you'll have to do without colorful fireworks tonight. The Swiss are just different. But this certainly won't dampen the mood. Because they know how to celebrate anyway. You won't return until the new year, perhaps as a lucky winner of great prizes. In the evening, your final highlight of the trip will be. Every year on the first evening of the new year, the Lucerne sky is illuminated by thousands of colorful fireworks. A spectacle like no other. All of Lucerne is on its feet. The atmosphere is grand.
