There are countless reasons to use public transport when discovering Switzerland.
But there are just as many reasons for your customers to upgrade to 1st class on trains and boats.
And while you can always find one more reason to do so, here are the most important ones:
more comfort
Enjoy additional leg and elbow room
Treat yourself to 1st class. With wider, individually adjustable seats, generous legroom and more space to move. With fewer rows per coach, elegant interiors, refined finishes and typically Swiss understated elegance. And with a quiet luxury that lets you focus, unwind or simply enjoy the journey. Whether you’re heading to a business meeting or a mountain resort: when the space around you breathes, so can you.
more privacy
Travel in peace and quiet
A first 1st class ticket comes with the luxury of space to yourself. With fewer seats in each carriage – and more space between them – you can settle in peace and quiet. Quiet zones on selected routes and overall fewer people travelling in 1st class mean less noise, fewer distractions and a calm that matches the majestic landscapes you’re travelling through. So, whether you want to catch up on emails or unwind and watch the scenery go by: 1st class is the place where you can do either at your own leisure.
more extras
It’s the little things that make the journey easier
1st class comes with a few thoughtful extras. You’ve got power sockets right at your seat, so your phone or laptop never runs out of steam. And on many routes there’s free Wi-Fi, too, letting you catch up on emails, stream a podcast or just scroll in peace. Everything feels a little more considered: From raised seats and larger windows on panoramic trains to minibar service right at your seat and smart storage options. It’s not showy. Just considerate. And it all adds up to a better way to get around.
more relaxation
Even without a reservation you’re almost guaranteed to find a seat
With fewer people on board, you’re almost guaranteed to find an empty seat waiting for you – even without a reservation on most trains. Get on, settle in and let the journey unfold at your own pace. The atmosphere is quiet, the surroundings feel calmer, and you get the time and room to unwind properly. Whether you’re working, reading, or just watching the scenery go by, 1st class helps you enjoy your ride more and arrive refreshed.
more upper deck
Get that exclusive cruise feeling when travelling by boat
Travelling 1st class on Switzerland’s lakes means enjoying the journey from the best spot on board: the upper deck. Up here, the views are better, the air is quieter and the space is all yours to unwind. With fewer passengers around, you’ll find it easier to enjoy the moment – whether you’re soaking up the scenery or having a quiet conversation. The seating is more generous, the interior design more elegant, and the pace just right. What’s more: you get to enjoy dedicated table service and carefully selected regional specialties available only to “Our” 1st class guests.
