Overview

A Lake Zurich cruise offers a delightful way to experience the natural beauty of Zurich and its surroundings, creating unforgettable moments on the water. With the Lake Zurich Navigation Company, you can enjoy cruises throughout the year on well-maintained steamboats, motor vessels, or even the smaller Limmat boats that venture into the river. The cruises range in duration, from shorter trips of 1.5 hours to more extended journeys of 3 to 4 hours, allowing passengers to sit back, relax, and soak in the ever-changing views of serene waters, rolling hills, and charming lakeside towns. These trips are perfect for travelers wanting to see Zurich from a unique perspective, away from the hustle and bustle. For a more tailored experience, there are Dream Boats that cater to different interests. You can indulge in a cozy Fondue Cruise, savoring delicious Swiss cheese while gliding over the water; enjoy a romantic Steamboat Dinner; or start the day in a leisurely fashion with the Late Riser’s Brunch, featuring a delightful breakfast spread on board. There’s something for everyone—whether you’re a foodie, a family looking for adventure, or a partygoer seeking a lively atmosphere. One of the most popular routes is the journey between Zurich and Rapperswil, a picturesque town known as the “City of Roses” thanks to its beautiful gardens and charming Old Town. This route spans 28 kilometers and provides spectacular views of the lakeside promenade, historical landmarks, and rose gardens. Excursion highlights include visiting Knie’s Kinderzoo for a family-friendly outing, exploring the hiking trails of Uetliberg Mountain, or treating yourself to Swiss chocolate at the Lindt & Sprüngli factory. Whether you’re looking for scenic relaxation or a unique dining experience, a Lake Zurich cruise promises an enchanting escape on the water, with breathtaking views and cherished memories.
