Travel agency on Lake Zurich · Cruises with a casino on board · 18+

From the lake to the sea.

If you grew up by a lake you know what water does to an evening. Lago al Mare plans cruises for guests from Switzerland: coastlines and sea days by day, good food in the evening – and, for those who like it, a seat in the casino on board afterwards. We take care of ship, cabin, rail travel and the price in CHF.

How you reach the sea

Four stations. One voyage.

Switzerland has no sea – but the best connection to it. For us the cruise starts at the railway station, not at the gangway.

  1. 01

    At the lake

    A request in two minutes, advice on Lake Zurich. We check ship, route and casino opening hours for your dates.

  2. 02

    On the train

    EuroCity from Zurich HB through the Gotthard to Genoa in four hours, ICE from Basel to Hamburg, direct flight from Zurich to Lisbon or Athens.

  3. 03

    At the port

    Transfer to the terminal, check-in, into the cabin. The cruise card opens restaurant, theatre, spa – and, from 18, the salon.

  4. 04

    At sea

    Coastlines by day, the salon in the evening once the ship is on the open sea. And at some point the moment when only the horizon is left.

The evening on board

Dinner first. Then, if you like, a seat at the table.

The casino is a room of the ship like the theatre or the spa: open at sea, closed in port, run by the cruise line. We tell you before booking what the chosen ship offers – and what it does not.

Entry

From 18 with ID; the cruise line checks at the door.

Opening

On the open sea according to the cruise line's schedule; in port the salon stays closed.

Limits

Table and machine limits are displayed. You set your own limit beforehand.

Costs

Stakes and currency go through the onboard cashier – never through our quote.

How the evening on board works

Season calendar

When each direction is at its best.

Green marks the months we recommend for each direction. In between there are quiet off-season departures with fewer guests and lower prices.

Cabins

Interior, oceanview, balcony or suite.

We confirm size, location and inclusions for the actual ship – not from a catalogue.

Questions & answers

What guests want to know before their first cruise.

All answers
Is the casino part of the fare?

No. The fare covers cabin, meals as per fare and the cruise line's onboard programme. Stakes in the casino go exclusively through the onboard cashier. We arrange neither gaming credit nor bonuses.

Who may enter the casino on board?

Adults from 18 with ID; on ships from US ports partly from 21. The cruise itself can be booked for all ages, families are welcome – the salon remains reserved for adults.

When is the salon open?

On the open sea, outside territorial waters; in port it is closed. The cruise line sets the exact times and prints them in the daily programme. More sea days mean longer opening hours.

Which currency is used?

Usually EUR or USD through the onboard cashier or the cruise card. The cashier explains exchange rates and fees. Our advice: set a budget before the trip and take only that.

Does my Swiss exclusion order apply on board?

Not automatically, because the ship's casino is not subject to the Swiss Gambling Act. Anyone excluded should avoid the salon. Let us know – we then advise you without any casino reference.

Quick request

Three details are enough. We sort out the rest by phone.

Non-binding and free. Within one working day you receive a quote with ship, route, cabin and price in CHF.

Confirmation

No reservation, no payment – just a personal proposal.

In moderation

The budget for the salon is fixed before the evening begins.

Never borrow, never top up, never chase a loss. If you need a break, tell the onboard staff – or tell us, and the casino stays out of your advice.
