Como, Lugano & Bellagio: Private Boat Cruise from Milan

About this experience

About Como, Lugano & Bellagio: Private Boat Cruise from Milan This is a full-day private boat cruise departing from Milan that takes in three distinct destinations: the Swiss city of Lugano, the lakeside village of Cadenabbia, and the celebrated promontory of Bellagio on Lake Como. Running approximately 11 hours, the itinerary crosses the Italian-Swiss border, giving passengers a direct comparison of two cultures shaped by the same Alpine lake geography. The starting point is Piazza IV Novembre in central Milan. Lugano sits on the northern shore of its own lake, surrounded by Monte San Salvatore and Monte Brè, and has long served as a financial and cultural crossroads between Switzerland and Italy. From there, the route moves to Cadenabbia on the western shore of Lake Como before a boat cruise delivers passengers to Bellagio, positioned at the fork where the two southern arms of the lake divide. What to expect The day begins with a coach transfer from Milan to Lugano, where free time allows for a walk through the old town and the chance to sample Swiss chocolate at local shops. The group then travels to Cadenabbia before boarding the private boat for the crossing to Bellagio, which offers 360-degree views across the water to the surrounding mountains. Free time in Bellagio is included for lunch at your own expense, before the return leg to Tremezzo and then back to Milan. Audio headsets are provided for groups of more than ten participants, and each person receives a small bottled water. Tickets cover the private boat cruise, audio equipment where applicable, and the full guided itinerary. Lake Como Day Trips from Milan and getting there The tour departs from Piazza IV Novembre in Milan, a central square adjacent to Milano Centrale railway station, making it straightforward to reach by train, metro, or taxi from anywhere in the city. For other ways to spend time on and around the lake, the Lake Como Day Trips from Milan page lists further excursions and departure options. Note that this tour is not suitable for wheelchair users.
