LAKE  MAGGIORE

N L M    Advance Information
Summer 2003


As a result of electrical problems,
"Major maintenance" took place throughout 2002
to the lake's only operational paddle steamer

resulting in her remaining in dock all year


PS Piemonte is now awaiting re-plating of at least 75 square metres of the hull, the date for completion of which is still unclear or how this will effect the proposed return to service for the Summer of 2003

No details of any sailings have yet been published,
but it is expected the paddle steamer will mainly operate private Charter Sailings as in previous years

Special public sailings are expected to include
Friday 15th August 2003
the annual Evening Cruise from Arona to Laveno Fireworks   (similar to 2001)


Watch this space for further information


In addition is was hoped regular Sunday lunch/afternoon cruises (introduced for the first time in 2001) from Arona to Stresa and the Borromee islands will be repeated
After all, why spend a lot of money only for the paddle steamer to remain tied-up at Arona "on standby" for most of the season ?


If YOU have any further information, please e-mail me
