Overview

Enjoy our one-hour river cruise through old and new Berlin. Experience the city from a unique perspective and learn more about its history, its transformation, and Berlin as it is today — all from the water.

Our tour guides provide live commentary in both German and English. Every tour is personal and individual, shaped by the guide’s own style and personality — a quality our guests particularly appreciate. For this, we were awarded the Certificate of Excellence in 2025 as well as in previous years.

The route takes you through Berlin’s historic and modern districts, including the historic city center and the government quarter. The cruise operates in all weather conditions: our ship features a panoramic roof that can be closed within seconds if it starts to rain and opened just as quickly when the weather improves.

What's Included

  • Restroom on board
  • Drinks are not included and can be bought on the ship.
  • Gratuity for the guide

Spree

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.

Frequently Asked Questions (9)

Q: Will I get seasick on Berlin: 1-hr Boat Tour with Bilingual Live Guide (DE/EN)?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
