Description

Simplon

Belle Epoque - paddle steamboat

Along with the LA SUISSE the largest in the fleet, this great boat impresses by the power and responsiveness of its engine and is the favorite of many "aficionados" who often come from very far away for a cruise on it. It is the first CGN steamboat with the boiler at the rear and the engine at the front, which changes the boat’s silhouette due to the positioning of its smokestack.

After two partial renovations in 2005 and 2011, it will still need a last major renovation in 2022-2023. The lounge offers a fine example of neo-classical art with paneling in variegated maple.
