On my recent all too short stay in Zurich I was determined to take a cruise on the lake. If your time is limited, as mine was, One of the easiest ways to spend part of it is to take the short round trip. Longer cruises are considerably longer, but this cruise allows you to see the lower portion of the lake, including several communities fairly close up as the boat pulls in to quite a few to pick up and drop off passengers. I arrived in Zurich about 8:30 am, on an overnight flight from the US. Of course I was jet-lagged and knew that if I walked all around the city I'd be exhausted. Especially if you have to wait for your hotel room to be cleaned you've got to do something, and this is a very short tram ride from the rail station, or a not very long and lovely walk along the lake, passing major attractions as you go. I was actually lucky and my room WAS ready, but rather than take what could have become an all too long nap, I decided to stick with my plan, so I walked down the the lake - beautifull lakefront, filled with swans, with great views of the distant mountains on a fairly clear day, as my title indicates. I wanted to get on the boat, sit down and observe others on the boat as well as the villages (suburbs?) that I'd be passing, but more importantly I wanted to breathe in the sea air in hope of refreshment after the long stuffy flight.My plan worked perfectly! I'll admit that towards the end of the cruise I began to feel quite sleepy, but it was easy to shake off with a few deep breaths. One way to fight jet-lag and have a good time while doing it.Even more important to me was the hope that I would glimpse the distant mountains. One of my very best memories of my first trip to Zurich was when I reached the lakeside - as noted it is very pretty in itself but the distant mountains knocked me out. I theorized that on the boat I could get a bit closer to the mountains, and my theory was nearly shot as while the sun was out there were a lot of clouds, and clouds tend to wrap themselves along mountains, thus obscuring the view. But at about two thirds of the way up the lake, there they were, some engulfed in clouds, but many clearly visible. For me my day was made. Admission: I did not eat on this cruise, though of course I could have. When I selected the topics offered by TripAdvisor I chose this, though I could not see the whole title. so the review is about the cruise itself, not the food - sorry if you expected something else, but I warned you in my title.
We had some time to spend and thought a tour of the lake would work out for us. The day we went was a stunning hot clear day. A perfect day to be on the water.Tickets are very reasonable and the times were impeccable Swiss works. There were lots of seats up top as well in the lower closed in section of the boat. While we did not eat on the boat we did have reasonable prices beverages. Both soft drinks and alcoholic drinks are available.As we thought this was a Tour we really did very little research on this boat ride. This is basically a commuter boat that also carries curious tourists. The guide handed out and available on shore was very informative about each stop.The boat was captained expertly with no bumps or sudden moves.This is a perfect way to spend a couple of hours on a sunny day in Zurich.
Lunch on the boat as you call at villages on both sides of Lake Zurich was a very pleasurable way to spend 2.5 hours; the meal was excellent but the Swiss white wine (50 cl) is to be avoided! The town of Rapperswill, at the end of the Lake, is worth a visit - to the castle, and I suggest returning to Zurich by double-decker train. Completely silent and on time! It takes half an hour.
10.- lunch ship. it was brethrening hot today. the ship is great, good seating, great view and very quiet ride.Service unfortunately very inattentive, is very happy to run.Essen was ok. 33.- for egli knusperli and 4 salt potatoes does not fit completely in the note price performance.But great ride, sometimes something else
