Starting right across from Berlin Cathedral, this is a 1-hour live-guided cruise along the Spree River. Instead of a recorded commentary, a real guide shares stories in English and German about Berlin Cathedral, Museum Island, the Nikolai Quarter, the Reichstag, and the Chancellery. A heated panoramic lounge, open-air upper deck, and onboard bar mean you'll enjoy the ride whatever the weather. In November and December, it turns into a cozy Glühwein cruise.

The Spree cruise departs from one of Berlin's most beautiful spots, the Friedrichsbrücke pier directly opposite Berlin Cathedral. Board the boat MS Bellevue for a 1-hour cruise around the historic center and government quarter.

Instead of a recorded commentary, a live guide tells you stories about Berlin Cathedral, Museum Island, the Nikolai Quarter, the Reichstag, and the Chancellery, including anecdotes and local insider tips, with time for questions too.

On sunny days, grab a spot on the open upper deck; on rainy or cold days, stay cozy in the heated lounge with large windows. Drinks and snacks are available at the onboard bar, and in November and December the cruise becomes a cozy Glühwein cruise. Stay on board a bit longer with a drink and the 1-hour cruise naturally extends to 1.5 hours.
※ The boat is not wheelchair accessible.
※ Berlin Boat Tours operates every day except Tuesdays until December 31, then resumes in March.
