We’ll first navigate east along the river, passing landmarks such as the majestic Berlin Cathedral, the impressive Humboldt Forum, and the Marstall concert hall. After turning around near the Mühlendammschleuse lock, we’ll head back west, gliding past the Nikolaiviertel, Berlin’s oldest residential quarter.

The Mühlendammschleuse is a two-chamber lock that greatly improved navigation along the Spree. Today, it stands as a reminder of the city’s industrial heritage and offers visitors a glimpse into its engineering past. Throughout the cruise, you’ll have access to an audio guide in multiple languages providing fascinating historical insights about the monuments you see along the way.

As we continue downstream, you’ll admire other must-see landmarks, including the Fernsehturm Berlin, part of Museum Island, Berlin Friedrichstraße station, and the iconic Reichstag Building. It’s a route that reveals Berlin from a unique and memorable perspective.

After 1 hour on the water, we’ll return to the Alte Börse pier, bringing this Berlin boat tour to a close.

Our journey will begin by heading east, passing the Berlin Cathedral, the Humboldt Forum, the Neuer Marstall building, and the Haus der Wirtschaft event center. After passing under the Mühlendamm Bridge, you'll see the site where the first Mühlendamm lock was built.

We'll sail to the East Side Gallery, a section of the old Berlin Wall. Along the way, you'll admire renowned spots like the Holzmarkt 25 park, the Uber Arena venue, and the Zalando Campus, contrasting with eye-catching architectural milestones like the Edge East Side Tower, known as the Amazon Tower, and the city's most impressive bridge, the Oberbaum Bridge.

We'll also pass the Ost Hafen Berlin center, the Badeschiff floating pool, and the Molecule Man sculpture, a piece of art in the middle of the river.
