Geneva Cruises with history

Lake Geneva or Lake Léman in Switzerland is the second largest freshwater lake in Central Europe (after Lake Balaton). 60% of it comes under the jurisdiction of Switzerland (cantons of Vaud, Geneva and Valais) and 40% under France (Haute-Savoie). While you embark on a cozy evening on the Lake around a pot of cheese or Chinese fondue, just remember that around the Lake a lot of things happens. Empress Elisabeth of Austria was fatally stabbed in the heart while waiting for a ferry. Mary and Percy Shelley and Lord Byron holidayed by the lake and wrote ghost stories; one of which was the basis for the novel Frankenstein. Ashes of the British rock star Freddie Mercury are believed by many to be dispersed into the lake.
