What is Swiss Travel Club?
Swiss Travel Club stands for carefully selected travel experiences on water and on rails. The personal travel-advisory portal offers hand-picked cruises, river journeys and rail trips. Christian Könitzer knows many of these journeys from his own experience and accompanies some of them personally as a tour guide, travel escort or cruise manager.
- Who is Swiss Travel Club for?
Swiss Travel Club values carefully selected travel experiences. The journeys accompanied by Christian Könitzer give you more time for yourself.
- You don't have to worry about anything – everything is organised
- You travel safely and at ease
- You save valuable time
- You can focus entirely on what really matters: Experience. Discover. Enjoy.
- Is Swiss Travel Club a tour operator?
No. Swiss Travel Club is not a tour operator but an independent, curating travel platform. I select every journey myself and recommend only what has convinced me. Depending on the journey, booking is made directly with the respective operator or through Swiss Travel Club. I also accompany selected journeys personally as a tour guide, travel escort or cruise manager.
- Which journeys does Swiss Travel Club offer?
Swiss Travel Club presents an exclusive selection of hand-picked travel experiences. These include river cruises on Europe's most beautiful waterways, ocean cruises to fascinating destinations worldwide, stylish Pullman rail journeys as well as extraordinary experiences with a personal character – such as the only cruise ship in Switzerland, the Attila in the Three-Lakes Region. I do not recommend a journey I have not sailed myself.
- How do I book a trip or a consultation?
Book a consultation online. In a personal conversation we clarify which journey suits you.
- What does a trip with Swiss Travel Club cost?
Swiss Travel Club brokers carefully selected travel experiences from renowned tour operators – from exclusive river cruises and stylish rail journeys to extraordinary ocean cruises worldwide. You benefit from personal, independent advice from an experienced travel expert. You pay not a franc more than booking with the operator direct, the same terms, the same prices.
- Who is behind Swiss Travel Club?
Behind Swiss Travel Club is Christian Könitzer – travel expert, cruise connoisseur and host by passion. With over 40 years of experience in the international travel industry and more than 100 cruises personally experienced worldwide, he has an exceptional wealth of experience.
