2.5-hour cruise of Berlin
4 of us enjoyed a lovely cruise along Berlin's waterways. The mostly circular route taken by the boat meant that apart from one short stretch to enable us to view a few key sites/sights, we had a varied and interesting trip.
Discover the beautifully illuminated city during a 2.25-hour river cruise. Marvel at the famous monuments from the water in the magical light of the evening.
You'll board the cruise at the pier in Friedrichstraße and then pass by Museum Island, the Berlin Cathedral, the historic Nikolaiviertel, and the new city palace until the Mühlendamm lock. Here the ship will turn and travels along the Spree through the government district to the modern main station till reaching the Berlin-Spandau shipping canal.
Next, you'll cruise past the Humboldt Harbor, with its historic buildings of the Charité campus, and the West Harbour, the largest port in Berlin. After a short stop in Charlottenburg, the ship will return to Friedrichstraße. On the way back, you'll see the famous Bellevue Palace, the park Tiergarten, the House of World Cultures, and again the impressive government district with Chancellery and Reichstag.
