“A unique occasion.”

Everything was perfect from start to finish! All employees were very accommodating and really over the top when it comes to friendliness! You rarely find that anymore.

S. Charwat, Zoo Basel

“Unforgettable evening.”

With around 150 guests, we set off directly from the new Terminal 4. Despite initial delays in service, our guests enjoyed the cruise, the food, and the atmosphere on board and expressed their gratitude at the end for this successful event.

L. Curschellas, Rhenus Port Logistics AG

“Everything went perfectly.”

The food was very good and the staff were super happy. The customer orientation of the crew on board really set standards, the QuizNight was very well received and was extremely well and humorously moderated. It was a wonderful evening and everyone left the event with feelings of happiness and unforgettable memories. The organizers received very positive feedback.

THE CERTAIN SOMETHING

The colorful design of the MS Christoph Merian attracts attention. It has been completely wrapped in foil, which not only brings smiles from the outside but especially from the inside, where the city skyline now passes by in all possible colors. The inventory has also received a touch of color powder.
