Fleet disposition

All paddle steamers normally berth overnight at Luzern
Very occasionally one outstables at Flüelen or Brunnen in connection with special evening cruises

PS Unterwalden is now the only paddle steamer still able to lower her navigation bridge, masts and funnel to sail under the Acheregg road and railway bridge at Stansstad and therefore normally operates sailings 65-66 to and from Alpnachstad from late-May to early-September
