Your personal travel companion
Christian Könitzer
Swiss Travel Club · Tour director & owner
My first cruise was decades ago. Since then I have had the privilege of accompanying more than a hundred journeys across the world's oceans – both behind the scenes and as a tour director on the front line. Whether on river or ocean ships, on worldwide round trips: my wealth of experience helps me to act in a solution-oriented and competent manner even in unforeseen situations. Travellers value the calm and reassurance I convey – as well as my talent for organisation, which helps to save valuable time and avoid stress.
My philosophy is simple: guests are on their well-earned holiday. They should do exactly what brings them joy – whether alone or in a group. Travelling together, enjoying individually – that is my aspiration.
Our optional excursion package on the Oosterdam is perfectly balanced for experiencing the highlights ashore with me. I have done this journey several times and I am full of anticipation to experience the mighty nature up close on such a wonderful ship. There is so much to discover every time!
