Description

Helvétie

Belle Epoque - Diesel-electric paddle boat

Laid up since 2002. Originally, it was the only Belle Epoque boat of CGN equipped with a three-cylinder steam engine. It was later replaced with a diesel-electric propulsion unit, purchased second hand from a laid-up Danube tugboat, which never gave full satisfaction.  The general renovation and return to service of this third great boat of the Belle Epoque fleet could take place in time for its 100th birthday in 2026.

The Captain's recommendation

"This proud great steamer with its regretted three-cylinder engine, laid up since 2002, must still wait before sailing again, we hope for its centenary in 2026. Meanwhile, we are working on it to make it accessible in the dock to its many admirers."
