Santa Claus Cruise
Ho ho ho, Santa Claus is coming to the ship! Because the donkey cannot carry all the presents by himself this year, he will sail across Lake Zurich together with his helper Schmutzli on Saturday, 6 December.
Join Santa on the short lake cruise with the following departure times from Zürich Bürkliplatz: 1:30 p.m. (route 35) and 3:00 p.m. (route 44).
On board every child will have the chance to recite a St. Nicholas poem and Santa will reward each one with a little suprise. It’s a magical Swiss tradition that makes children’s eyes light up with joy.
Reserve your table today by calling 044 487 13 13. A minimum consumption applies – the perfect opportunity to enjoy seasonal delights such as wild berry crème brûlée, almond buns, homemade ginger tea, or hot chocolate along with desserts or afternoon tea.
The cruise stops at several stations – an ideal cosy winter trip for the entire family!
Tickets can be purchased from all ZVV sales points (including ticket machines) and on board.
Required ZVV ticket: Single ticket 110 + 140 + 150, day ticket 110 + 140, day ticket 110 + 150 or Zurich Card. GA travelcard, GA travelcard for young adults and Children’s Co-travelcard are valid.
