Details

Experience Berlin from the water on a 1-hour Spree River cruise, passing through both historic and modern districts without the need for extensive walking. Travel aboard glass-sided panorama boats with optional open roofs, designed to provide clear, unobstructed views of the city’s riverside landmarks.

As you cruise, admire highlights such as the Berlin Cathedral and the Reichstag, while live onboard guides share insights into Berlin’s architecture and history. The tour is operated by Reederei Hadynski and takes place on the panorama ships MS Carola and MS Franziska, running daily from March to December.

On warmer days, the roof opens fully to enhance the experience, while a glass canopy ensures comfort in changing weather. Large windows provide consistent visibility throughout the journey, allowing all guests to enjoy the sights.

A small onboard bar offers drinks such as beer and coffee (available at an extra charge), making it easy to relax as you take in the waterfront scenery. This cruise is a comfortable and time-efficient way to explore Berlin’s key attractions from a unique vantage point.

Spree River

Discover the city from the water: The Reederei Hadynski enables its guests to get to know Berlin from a special point of view. On board the two glass panorama ships MS Carola and MS Franziska, tour guides will present the one-hour boat trip live and explain the exciting cityscape of Berlin. On the daily trips from March to December, guests can take in the panoramic view with a beer or a cup of coffee. When its not cold the roof will be completely open for the best views. In case it starts to rain the panoramic glass roof can be closed within seconds. Thanks to the large window areas, everyone will still be ensured an optimal view when the guides explain the highlights of Berlin, such as the Berlin Cathedral or the Reichstag.

"It was lovely going on the water on a sunny day But there was a limited amount of English as naturally many of the other travellers were German …. We would have liked more history so we did not learn as much as we hoped about the buildings we saw. "
