A collection, not an invented departure

Planned around your dates, then checked against real departures.

A direction for guests who value compact old towns, good food and short shore days. Tell us the month, length and cabin character; we look for a matching departure with a cruise line that has a casino on board – rather than showing you an invented timetable.

Ship, cruise line, exact route, departure date, price in CHF, taxes and cancellation terms are set out in writing before you decide.

When to go
Best time: April–June and September–October. Quiet winter routes with fewer guests.
Getting there from Switzerland
Getting there: EuroCity from Zurich HB or Lugano to Genova Piazza Principe, then a 10-minute taxi to the port. Alternatively rail to Savona via Milan.

Your cabin

The feeling first, then the category.

Tell us whether price, daylight, a private balcony or more space matters most. Dimensions and inclusions come from the chosen cruise line.
