Berlin Spree River East Side Boat Cruise

Cruise along the Spree River and explore both East Berlin and the city center in one go.

This round-trip boat cruise takes you along the Spree River for approximately 2.5 hours, departing from the pier next to the Old Stock Exchange (Alte Börse) building, near Hackesche Höfe. You'll see attractions in both Berlin's old and new centers, as well as the changes in the area around the East Side Gallery since the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Live commentary is provided in English and German, with audio guides available in multiple languages. The boat features a sundeck and various indoor lounges, and food and drinks can be purchased separately at the onboard bar.

Head towards the East Side Gallery, passing through the Mühlenstraße lock.

After passing through the Mühlenstraße lock, known as the 'cradle of Berlin', you'll proceed past the Radialsystem V energy forum, Ostbahnhof station, and the Uber Arena (formerly Mercedes-Benz Arena). You'll also view the East Side Gallery stretching along the Spree River from the water.

Cruise under the Oberbaum Bridge and explore the East Harbor.

Pass under the Oberbaum Bridge, considered one of Berlin's most beautiful bridges, and enter the East Harbor, home to companies like Universal Music, MTV, and Coca-Cola. Around Treptow Harbor, you'll also see the Badeschiff, a floating swimming pool, and the 'Molecule Man' sculpture.

Return journey past Museum Island and the Government District.

As you head back towards Berlin Mitte, you'll pass the Nikolai Quarter and Humboldt Forum, and cruise by Museum Island, starting with Berlin Cathedral. Passing under the Weidendamm Bridge, you'll move towards the Friedrichstraße area, seeing Schiffbauerdamm, Tränenpalast (Palace of Tears), and Friedrichstraße Station.

In the Government District, you'll see the Reichstag Building and the Chancellery, and also catch a view of Berlin Central Station from the water. After passing Bellevue Palace, the official residence of the Federal President, you'll return to the departure point at the Old Stock Exchange pier.
