Cruise Port Transfers in Zurich, priced up front

Zurich has no seaport. The boats on Lake Zurich are day excursions, not ocean cruises, and the nearest river-cruise embarkation is in Basel, about an hour away. Guests joining Mediterranean sailings travel to Genoa or Venice, several hours south. We plan those long runs with realistic timings and fixed fares, and we say clearly when a leg needs an overnight stop on the way.

Business district

Working days in Zurich

Our chauffeurs work daily around Paradeplatz and the Zurich banking district, with regular runs to Bahnhofstrasse, the Hallenstadion, Lake Zurich.

The World Economic Forum week turns the Zurich–Davos corridor into a controlled route with police checkpoints; we book Davos transfers weeks ahead with accredited vehicles.

Corporate travel in Zurich

Rhine cruises from Basel

Rhine cruises start from the Basel quays at Kleinhueningen, about an hour from Zurich by motorway. We time the pickup to your check-in window and take you from Zurich Airport or a hotel directly to the gangway. At the end of the cruise we reverse the trip to the airport, with margin for a late docking, which is common after a week on the river. The Kleinhueningen quays are in the northern harbour area, so the last few minutes of the drive run through an industrial zone before the river opens up.

Genoa and the Italian ports

Genoa is the closest major sea port that Zurich guests use, reached via the Gotthard route and Milan, and the drive is long. Venice and Savona are alternatives. We plan overnight stops where required, with a hotel in Lugano or Como breaking the journey, and we agree the boarding deadline with you before suggesting a departure time. Ports in northern Italy also have security checks that can take time, so we aim for an early arrival.

Boats on Lake Zurich

For guests who want a day on the water, boats leave from Buerkliplatz and the Bellevue area and call at villages along both shores. We drop you at the pier and collect you at the end, or at one of the lakeside villages. It is a gentle half day that suits a long layover or a quiet Sunday. Stops at the Fraumuenster or the Lindenhof are possible between pier trips if your layover is long.

Stays before and after sailing

Many guests spend a night in Zurich before or after a cruise. We coordinate flights, hotel transfers and the long road leg to the port, and can arrange for luggage to travel with you in the SUV so that the final leg is light. Tell us your itinerary and the desk plans the legs on either side. Luggage can be sent ahead with a courier if you prefer, but the SUV usually has room for everything.

FAQ

Cruise Port Transfers in Zurich — questions

Does Zurich have a cruise port?

No. Zurich has no sea port, so river cruises start in Basel and ocean cruises in Italian ports such as Genoa. We drive you to whichever one your ticket names.

How far is Basel from Zurich?

About an hour by road, depending on traffic on the A3 and A2. We time the pickup to your cruise line's check-in window and fix the fare in advance.

Can you drive me all the way to Genoa?

Yes, as a long-distance transfer with a fixed fare and planned breaks. Most guests prefer an overnight stop on the way, which we can help organise.

Can you take me to a boat on Lake Zurich?

Yes. We drop you at Buerkliplatz or another pier and can collect you at the end of the trip, at the same point or at a different village.
