No doubt, our origin is the lake, Lake Lucerne. For years, we have been delighting travellers gastronomically on 19 ships. Thanks to our spirit of discovery, we are now able to operate great establishments in and around Lucerne and inspire our guests. Perhaps it has to do with our shipping genes that we always steer our company with a view ahead. We love to tinker with new concepts and then simply try them out. And we maintain a very special relationship with our employees. We inform openly and honestly, value a refreshing and collegial team spirit, and ensure really good employment conditions.

Sounds good? Then we look forward to your application!
