A warm welcome
The newest large motor vessel of the Lake Lucerne Navigation Company (SGV AG) will enter
public service in May 2017 and immediately redefine quality in Swiss passenger shipping. With
its elegant appearance, spacious decks and innovative design features, the unique event boat
will function as an attraction in its own right. We
hope that you might consider it the ideal venue
for your exclusive function and think that this
brochure will provide you with appropriate inspiration.
An extraordinary ship
With five different decks and countless clever
surprises, our “Super Yacht” will keep passengers engaged and entertained. Among the
signature features are the two interior dining
salons with a glass dome, the Nautilus Cabin
below deck with live underwater views, the
aqua terrace with lake water footbath or the
stylish Compass Lounge on the panoramic sun
deck.
With a capacity of 400 banquet seats, it will
be possible to host large events in a truly
amazing environment. The ship will be fitted
with the latest audio-visual broadcasting
equipment to enable successful conferences,
concerts, seminars, product presentations
or weddings. This will allow you to host your
guests in fine style.
Amidst the spectacular setting of the Swiss
Alps, MS 2017 will help you create memorable
moments.

to the spacious design of our new flagship, it will
be possible to accommodate up to 200 seated
guests in one single salon.
Each of the five decks has its own look and feel and the
clever overall design allows a lot space variation, so as to
customize the setting for every different type of event. For
instance the main deck and upper deck, with their impressive gallery, are well suited for traditional banquets or other
events with a culinary theme. Popular formats like live show
cooking or Flying Dinners will be sure to excite your party.
The open decks offer the ideal combination of panoramic
viewing terraces as well as sun-sheltered seating areas. Your
guests will enjoy nipping on their drinks there, while making
informal conversation. The fantastic views will only add to
the positive vibe.

The main deck is the largest space on the
ship. The main deck salon offers 164 banquets
seats in its standard set-up and may be variably enlarged to 200.
Should you require additional capacity, the
front lounge is also available and offers another 24 banquet seats. This is ideal for accommodating smaller sub-groups.
When the gallery is open on the main deck,
the centrally located podium is slightly elevated by about 20 cm. This therefore is the ideal
spot for speakers or presenters to address
their audience. Should you wish to combine
an aperitif or a banquet with an audio-visual
presentation, we are able to supply all of the
required electronic equipment.

From the upper deck you may enjoy
sweeping views of the Swiss Alps and the
wonderful panorama that Lake Lucerne has
to offer. Comfortable deck furniture, stylish
decor and modern amenities make this an
attractive place to linger. When the gallery is
open, all banquet guests in the upper deck
salon have a fine view down onto the main
deck. The atrium-like design creates a superb sense of grandeur.
Should your event require extra capacity, the
gallery can easily be closed, allowing you to
accommodate up to 196 seated guests on
the upper deck. Let our experienced catering
team wine and dine you there.

Sun Deck
100 seats
Invite your guests for a refreshing drink at
the trendy bar and feel as if you would be
cruising on a Super Yacht along the Côte
d'Azur. The elevated position of the sun deck
provides excellent sightlines and there are
many reclining seats that allow everyone to
kick back and truly relax. Of the roughly 100
seats available, a third are sheltered from
the elements. The sun deck is ideally suited
for an aperitif with welcome drinks or any
type of informal gathering. A fantastic feature is also the Compass Lounge. It offers a
total of eight plush seats and always aligns
itself to the north.
Invite everyone for a welcome drink on the
sun deck and let them enjoy the splendid
views from the top. 4 Continue with a
delicious dinner on the upper deck, where our
catering team will treat you to culinary delights. 3 During the cruise there is much to
see and do. A visit to the Nautilus Cabin 1
on the lower deck will provide unusual underwater views, while the elevated panorama
deck 5 is ideal for taking photos. After dinner you can stage the entertainment component of your event on the spacious main deck 2 . Everyone will be sure to leave the ship in
great spirits!

The perfect place for presentations,
seminars and exhibitions
During the past few centuries, Lake Lucerne has inspired many
famous writers, poets and artists, including Friedrich Schiller and
Mark Twain. The stunning natural scenery will also create the
ideal stage for your event and is bound to provide inspiration for
all of your participants. Should you plan on hosting a staff seminar, company retreat or teambuilding exercise, we have all of the
relevant audio-visual equipment onboard. Let everyone refocus
by getting away from the daily grind and instead refreshing and
revitalizing in the heart of the Alps.
Thanks to our fully fitted ship, you can
easily and effectively communicate with large
audiences.
Wireless microphones and lots of loud speakers all over the boat will help you convey a
clear and crisp message.
The ultra-modern presentation beamers on
both the main deck and upper deck will allow
you to project presentations or film footage.
Thanks to the latest technical standards, they
can achieve an impressive projected image
size of 2.3 x 1.3 (16:9). For particularly large
functions it is possible to install additional
presentation screens around the ship. We
also can provide flipcharts, pinn walls or a
facilitator’s toolbox.
Concerts
No matter who’s playing, the combination
of Lake Lucerne’s mythical landscape and
live music is unbeatable! Classical or contemporary, the melodies and mountains are
bound to form a beautiful blend. Entertain
everyone and enliven the scene.
Technical aspects
The ship has been built with concert requirements in mind and therefore is already fully
wired. All that is needed is the sound control
equipment, which our partner auvisio can
provide.
Concert seating
A variety of different seating arrangements
are available for musical performances.
Please consult the three charts below to find
the one that suits you best.
Main deck with the stage in the middle, 166 seats
Main deck with the stage to the rear, 171 seats
Upper deck with the gallery closed and the stage to the rear, 189 seats

Elegant extras
It's showtime
Why not add that certain “wow” effect to
your event by selecting additional entertainment options. Would you like to have Swiss
alphorns aboard, a live Jazz band or a good
DJ? Or would you prefer a magician, a comedian or a private fireworks display? We have a
large list of local performers and can help you
put together the perfect show elements. Additionally, our captain can narrate the cruise
for you with geographic information about
the lake and region.
Decoration
Our full range service includes the provision
of onboard decor and our fully trained florist
as well as a local team of professional decorators will be delighted to implement your
stylish vision. Let us create a truly enchanting environment for you.
Individual branding
Make our ship your ship! We will be glad to
advise you on best possible branding opportunities and attractive display areas for your
company logo or corporate banners. It is also

should you be planning a product presentation or a service launch.
