Strung with festoon lights and glowing windows, the Wilhelm Tell paddle steamer sits moored on Lake Lucerne like a floating salon. Its striped funnel, timber decks, and broad paddle boxes read clearly in the night, heritage engineering repurposed as hospitality. Reflections tremble along the hull, while the lakeside promenade hums just beyondโ1990s Lucerne at its most quietly theatrical.
