‘The floating “office oasis” promotes creativity and concentration’

Swap the office for a boat! A workation on Lake Zug combines work and time off. The expanse of the lake can stimulate creativity and open up new perspectives in business meetings.

The writer Ernest Hemingway is supposed to have liked working on a boat and to have said: ‘Sometimes it's the moments on the water that clear the mind and steer thoughts in the right direction.’ But working on the water is not just for creative minds; business people do it too. Jeff Bezos has often emphasised how important it is to him to hold efficient and productive meetings. The Amazon founder has this tip: ‘Sometimes the best way to find innovative solutions is to step out of your usual environment. Meetings on a boat offer a fresh perspective that often leads to better results.’

A cruise on Lake Zug is inspiring, and there is a relaxed atmosphere on board the boats – which also helps with business matters. Whether it's a fine business lunch, a productive meeting or presentations with the latest technology – anything is possible!

Flexible with laptop, different environments
But let's hear from two people who regularly enjoy a workation on the lake:

‘Workation on Lake Zug – for me, a successful change from the office. Today, you can travel more flexibly with a laptop. There are various places on the Lake Zug boats where you can work undisturbed, whether it's on the outer deck when the weather is nice, in the cosy lounge corner or at one of the many tables in the restaurant. Tip: stay for lunch and enjoy a delicious meal on the boat. It will give you new energy for the afternoon.’

‘A workation on Lake Zug combines the best of both worlds: working and relaxing in a breathtaking setting. The floating ‘office oasis’ promotes creativity and concentration while you are pampered by the first-class comfort on board. Our meeting on the MS Rigi was a successful alternative to the classic office routine and combines the beautiful with the useful."
