lock cruise
We are excited to embark on an adventure with you. Experience city and countryside aboard the Rhystärn on a lock cruise to Rheinfelden and back.
On the panoramic deck with a 360° view, you can relax, observe the idyllic Rhine landscape, and enjoy a short break. The passage through the impressive locks in Birsfelden and Augst makes technology and Cruise tangible and offers a fascinating spectacle for young and old.
In the restaurant on the main deck, we serve fine dishes with local ingredients and cool drinks for the aperitif. Spending time on the Rhine is good for the soul - we promise.
On Friday, May 1, we will open the summer season with an extra lock cruise.
During the lock cruise the onboard restaurant is open. Enjoy cold drinks and a fine lunch on the trip to Rheinfelden and back.
