Hi Subhayan,

Yes, the Swiss Travel Pass is valid for boat trips on Lake Thun and Lake Brienz. You can check the Swiss Travel Pass validity and download the validity map here: http://www.myswissalps.com/swisstravelpass/validity

No reservations are required except if you are planning on taking a special or packaged cruise with dinners and entertainment. You can plan your boat trips using the SBB timetable (use the advance option to view only boat connections). Alternatively, you can download the printed timetable from the official website. You can find the link here: http://www.myswissalps.com/boatlakebrienz/gettingthere (please click on information from other websites).

In general, normal boats and special cruises leave from the same terminals.

Hope this helps in your trip planning. Let us know if you need more information.

Regards,

Anna
