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.

Charlie our guide was a pleasure to listen to, he spoke in German & English and was very humourous and explained in detail about all the building's and history of Germany along the way. Would highly recommend this trip. It was a lovely and warm and relaxing trip.😊

Excellent scenery visible throughout, onsite refreshments available and a tour guide who provided a rich history of Berlin interspersed with light humour. Highly recommend.

The people on board were nice, and we learned a lot from the audio guides. The windows were helpful because it was drizzling, but they were generally quite foggy, so we couldn’t see much—which was a real shame. Maybe they could be cleaned or replaced with better glass. Otherwise, it was great.

Informative if a bit repetitive Nice clean boat Staff friendly The audio guide was useful although it was annoying having to hold it all the time. Ear phones might have been easier

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.
