I really enjoyed the wonderful time I spent with my friend exploring the city from the water; we sipped on some Aperol and admired the beautiful architecture—thanks, thanks :))

De cruise was fenomanal with a briljant live speaker. The DDR museum was very interesting but way too crowded and warm and moist: I fled the building!

Check-in went really smoothly and the staff were very friendly...... Guido was very nice and very knowledgeable. He had a good grasp of the subject matter and was able to convey it very well in a charming way. He didn’t just share interesting facts but also little tidbits on the side, such as pointing out a pair of coots nesting. That made the whole experience incredibly enjoyable. There was even filter coffee on the boat, for which we were apologized to. But it was anything but a bad thing—it was a very positive experience. Where can you still get filter coffee these days? I should mention that my friends and I are in our 60s. The filter coffee was just right. We can only thank you for the wonderful day on the Franzisk...

The ride was very nice. The personal commentary was especially good. With other cruise lines, I’m used to hearing recorded announcements. Having a real person—and such a friendly one at that—made it very pleasant. It was very windy and chilly, so the windows were closed. That made the ride more comfortable.

Immerse yourself in history with DDR Museum tickets, offering an interactive journey into East Germany's past as you explore fully furnished DDR-era flats and artifacts.

At the DDR Museum, not only observe but also engage with exhibits, from driving a Trabant to flipping through DDR-era television channels.

Discover Berlin's iconic landmarks with a 1-hour city cruise, view the Reichstag, Bellevue Palace, Berlin Cathedral, and more from a unique water perspective.

Choose your preferred departure point for the cruise, and enjoy multi-lingual audio guides or live commentary, enriching your sightseeing experience.

Fun Fact: The Trabant car, which you can simulate driving at the DDR Museum, was the most common vehicle in East Germany and is now a symbol of the bygone era.

A lovely way to see parts of the city. A relaxing cruise with drinks, snacks and nice weather. The staff were friendly and welcoming.

Enjoy the best of Berlin’s historical attractions with this cost-saving combo that includes admission to the DDR Museum and a 1-hour Berlin city cruise.

DDR Museum

Step back in time with a visit to the DDR Museum, one of Berlin’s most interactive museums. Experience life in the former Deutsche Demokratische Republik (DDR) or East Germany. Unlike traditional museums, here you can touch, hold, and interact with exhibits. Explore a fully-furnished DDR flat, drive a Trabant, and even take a simulated family drive through prefabricated districts. This attraction is a must for history enthusiasts and offers a deep understanding of life in East Germany.

Berlin City Cruise

After your visit to the DDR Museum, board a 1-hour cruise on the River Spree to witness the city's best sights from a different perspective. Cruise past some of the city's major attractions, including the Reichstag, the Government District, the House of World Cultures, Bellevue Palace, and the Victory Column. With an audio guide available in various languages, learn about historical and cultural attractions like the Berlin Cathedral, Museum Island, and more. An upgraded ticket also offers live commentary onboard, giving you a fuller understanding of this vibrant city.
