Around the Spreebogen we reach the Paul-Löbe-Haus and immediately afterwards the impressive Reichstag. Along the Reichstagufer you also see the ARD capital studio and the Palace of Tears. We continue through the historic Weidendammer Brücke past the Bode Museum, Hackescher Markt, Alte Nationalgalerie, the Pergamon Museum and Berlin Cathedral.

Cruising in Berlin

Cruising in Berlin: the right route for your event

When planning a cruise in Berlin, the route plays a decisive role: if you want to experience Berlin's most famous landmarks, a city tour through the centre is the right choice. If you prefer more nature, waterscapes and relaxed cruising, tours to Tegeler See or Wannsee are particularly attractive.

For longer events, exclusive charter cruises or prestigious corporate occasions, extended routes to Köpenick or along the Havel are recommended. This way you combine your event, stunning views and Berlin's unique atmosphere in a very special way. We support you in choosing the route, the right duration and the perfect vessel.
