A cruise-like experience in Switzerland – peaceful, stylish, and close by

The Attila is no ordinary ship and no traditional hotel. It is a floating boutique hotel for people who value relaxation, nature, indulgence, and a personal atmosphere. Instead of a long journey, large crowds, and loud entertainment, you’ll enjoy a short, high-quality cruise in the Three Lakes Region.

You’ll cruise across Lake Murten, Lake Neuchâtel, and Lake Biel, spend the night in your own cabin, and enjoy the scenery right from the water. On board, you’ll find a stylish Captain’s Lounge, a spacious upper deck, regional wines, fine specialties, and a crew that takes personal care of you.

VERSATILE OFFER

    MS Jura – the adventure ship and its connection to the world of Attila

    Most guests on the Attila have crossed a special ship on their journey across the three lakes: the MS Jura. Formerly a modern passenger ship, it has now been offering trips with overnight accommodation for almost 30 years. Most of the guests are school classes, institutions for the disabled, various themed camps or private individuals. As the MS Jura project is not self-supporting, sponsors and patrons are always very welcome! We met the skipper David Weber and talked to him about the project.
