About

The Zugersee Schiffahrt offers an unforgettable experience on Lake Zug, combining scenic cruises with charming stops at historic towns such as Cham, Rigi, Arth, and the town of Zug itself. Visitors board modern, well‑maintained vessels that cruise the lake at gentle rhythms, while onboard the crew provides charming service, regional cuisine, and a relaxed atmosphere. With a range of itineraries—from short daily round trips to extended tours—there’s something for families, couples, history enthusiasts, and solo travelers alike. The mix of natural beauty, cultural landmarks, and friendly hospitality makes it a must‑visit destination for anyone traveling through the Swiss midlands. The cruises run from 9:45 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. from Monday to Saturday and 9:45 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Sundays and holidays, across the summer months. The day‑ticket and single‑cruise fares provide flexible options at CHF 47 and CHF 43.20, respectively, while children 6–16 travel free with an adult. Enjoy the lakeside breeze, historic forts, and panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, all while savoring regional culinary delights prepared on board. Remember to reserve a seat at the ship’s restaurant if you wish to dine—online or by phone—during your cruise.
