Overview

Cruise the Spree for one hour from right opposite Berlin Cathedral on board MS Bellevue, our own boat, through the historic center and the government district.

What makes the tour special is the guide: instead of a recorded commentary, a real person tells you the stories behind Berlin Cathedral, Museum Island, the Nikolaiviertel, the Reichstag and the Chancellery – live in English and German, with time for your questions.

Sit on the open upper deck on sunny days or stay cozy in the heated lounge with large panoramic windows. Drinks and snacks are sold at the bar. Nov–Dec: cozy mulled wine cruises with hot Glühwein from the bar. No rush: stay longer on board and turn your 1-hour cruise into 1.5 hours with a drink.

How to find us: the pier is next to Friedrichsbrücke, opposite Berlin Cathedral (Google Maps: "Berlin Boat Tours"). Look for the name "Bellevue" on the bow and be at the pier 20 minutes before departure.

Dogs are welcome on board.
