Interlaken and Lake Cruise

[Kirsty]

Hi!! I have read in a few places that there is a short cruise on the lakes at Interlaken that is free with a eurail pass. I was wondering if this would use up a day though, or is it really just free.

Thanks for everyone's advice and questions. This website is great!!! ;D

Nope, it shouldn't use up a day.

We used it to do a lake cruise somewhere in Switzerland, can't remember where though and it didn't use up a day. You just had to show your pass.

Generally, free bonuses require the use of travel day, discount bonuses don't.

While this is true if you are using your pass as transportation by boat, I'm pretty positive that we did not use a day for this cruise. I don't think it's considered transportation, as you end up where you started.

I checked my travel journal and it was the same lake cruise we took as well.

I will check into this for you, Kristy.
