A stylish, welcoming atmosphere awaits you aboard the MS Switzerland. The elegantly furnished cabins and public areas create a pleasant ambiance. The spacious panoramic lounge with bar and the restaurant lend the ship its special charm.

The spacious sun deck with ample seating invites you to relax and offers beautiful views of the passing landscape.

Embarkation from 16:00 PM, disembarkation at 9:00 AM

Minimum number of participants: 80 people, required 21 days prior to arrival

Bringing your own bicycle: Due to limited space on the sun deck, bringing your own bicycle is only possible upon request and subject to availability. We exclude all liability for loss, theft, or damage – this also applies to damage incurred during transport from the ship to shore and back.

Excursion program: Bookable exclusively on board. A brief description will be provided with your travel documents. Depending on the group composition, excursions may be offered bilingually in German and English.

Schedule and program changes are always possible. If, for example, a section of the route cannot be navigated due to low or high water levels or bad weather, the captain reserves the right to change the route for your safety (this is not grounds for a free cancellation). The same applies to lock and/or bridge repairs ordered by authorities and not announced in advance.

Other information: Please bear in mind that your riverboat is both your "holiday hotel" and a working vessel that moves using engine power and requires constant operation, including at night (sometimes involving lock and bridge passages). We recommend that particularly noise-sensitive guests bring earplugs. Lock passages are disruptive and unfortunately cannot be avoided.

Route profile: mostly on paved cycle paths and embankments or quiet country roads without any significant inclines, suitable for leisure cyclists.

Available on board (limited quantity): Bicycle helmet (UVEX I-VO) €45 each, mobile phone holder €10 each, power bank (10.000 mAh) €20 each

Rental bikes on board: subject to availability, bikes can also be rented on board by the day (7-speed unisex €15/day, 8-speed e-bike €35/day)
