Full description

Embark on a 1-hour cruise through the city of Berlin and the government district on a boating vessel optimized for panoramic views of the city. Learn about Berlin from your professional guides and boat operators and explore the city from the unique vantage point of the water.

Hop aboard one of the two glass panorama ships in MS Carola and MS Franziska and listen as your tour guide presents the one-hour boat trip. Listen to live explanations and stories about the exciting cityscape of Berlin.

Embark on a daily trip from March to December and take in the panoramic view with a beer, cup of coffee, or long drinks. Thanks to the large window areas, everyone is ensured an optimal view when the guides explain the highlights of Berlin, such as the Berlin Cathedral or the Reichstag.

Meeting point

Please look for the Pier of our company "Reederei Hadynski". The ship is waiting on the river directly next to the restaurant "Alois Moser Alpenküche". It´s close to the S-Bahn Station "Hackescher Markt". The ship always arrives about 25-minutes prior to departure. Please present your voucher to the staff before going down the stairs to the ship. Check-in ends 5 minuts prior to departure. You will be guaranteed a seat, but maybe not together if you arrive late. If you arrive more than 30 minutes prior to departure there might be still a ship from a different company. After they depart one of our ships "Carola" or "Franziska" will arrive. Unfortunately the ship won´t be able to wait for guests that are running late. Please find out how to get to the ship before the tour starts. If you want to take the tour with live moderation please stick to the time you booked and don´t take an earlier tour as that might be with an audio guide. Please ask!

Michael was such an amazing tour guide, and one of the only in-person tour guides left in the business. If you’re looking for a fun, informative and memorable tour through some of Berlin’s most beautiful spaces, I’d highly recommend!
