Using the ferry to go to Evian or Vevey / Chillon, is it possible to get a discount with IR passes? And if so, is this only at the ticket office on the day and do the ferries ever fill up? We only have 4 hours in Lausanne and so have few departure options. many thanks if you can help!

All CGN ferries have a 50% pass discount:

You don't need to use a travel day.

You can buy tickets where you take the ferry. I doubt they ever fill up. There are no reservations, so I highly doubt that buying a ticket in advance will mean anything. AFAIK you just buy an open ticket valid on a certain route, just like for Swiss trains.


You do get 50% reduction. 

There's no need to buy the tickets in advance. They are even sold onboard (there's a purser's office) if you don't have much time.
