Many of our ships have been purposefully built for year-round operations. As we run public transportation services 365 days a year in addition to our seasonal leisure cruises, our ships are ideally suited for operations in all kinds of conditions. You will find our winter boats to be warmly heated and very hospitable when it is cold outside.
Because several of our steamboats were built as traditional summer ships, they only operate during the warm time of the year from spring to autumn. The exception are the steamers "Uri" and "Unterwalden", which have been retrofitted for winter services and feature enclosed panoramic restaurants on the upper deck. These vessels then are also used for our festive winter steam program during the holidays of late December and early January.
