Sunset Tour with Solar Ship

Discover Berlin from the water on a quiet, eco-friendly sunset cruise along the Spree. This relaxed tour combines key city landmarks with informative audio guides, all enjoyed from a modern solar-powered catamaran. Sit back with a drink and take in the city’s highlights at an easy pace.

Details

Set off from the port of Solarwaterworld AG near the Oberbaumbrücke in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg. Aboard the emission-free solar ship, you’ll glide quietly along the Spree, taking in Berlin’s well-known sights in a relaxed setting.

During the approximately 2.5-hour journey, the route passes key landmarks visible from the water. Early highlights include the striking Oberbaum Bridge and the East Side Gallery. A memorable moment follows as the catamaran navigates through the Mühlendamm lock. Continuing west, you’ll see Museum Island, as well as Berlin’s government district with the Reichstag and the Federal Chancellery. The route also includes views of the main train station, known for its modern architecture, before reaching the House of World Cultures, often referred to locally as the “Pregnant Oyster.” Here, the vessel turns and returns to the starting point.

Instead of a traditional loudspeaker system, the tour uses multilingual audio guides (German, English, French, Spanish, Italian, Hebrew, and Russian), allowing you to explore at your own pace without background engine noise. Light refreshments, including drinks and snacks, are available on board.

Please note that Solarwaterworld AG may operate the tour using any of its solar-electric catamarans, depending on availability.

Very nice! Unfortunately, we didn't see a sunset, but we heard a lot of information that we didn't know as frequent Berlin travelers. Recommended!

More seats would have been good. Otherwise, the announcements were very informative and entertaining. The boat was very quiet and the route was beautiful. The timing was also perfect.

The cruise felt a bit long, although the boat was super comfortable and had a bar that served great snacks. The audio guide said very little, we missed having more information. About the duration, especially because of the time in the lock, which lengthens it, it got a bit tedious for us, also because we were with a child and two teenagers, and they can't stand much time on the boat without explanations in the audio guide

It rained and they didn't cancel it. We couldn't go out because we got too wet. That's it.
