WELL KNOWN FROM
All kinds of group occasions
Which groups join us most often
We welcome groups of all kinds, from a small birthday party to a large company team. The most common occasions are company outings, club trips, birthdays and tour groups. What they have in common: they want to see Berlin together, sit comfortably and talk – without booking lots of separate tickets.
A boat tour as a team activity
After the meeting, head out on the water: a relaxed one-hour Spree cruise with your department, team or clients, with a bar on board. Popular for summer events, sales kick-offs or as part of a conference program. One invoice for the whole group is available.
Birthdays, bachelor parties, family celebrations
A milestone birthday, a bachelor party or a family reunion with relatives from all over? A 60-minute Spree cruise works for every age group. Have lunch in the Nikolaiviertel beforehand, then carry on celebrating at Hackescher Markt.
Group discounts
Groups pay a reduced ticket price. The exact discount depends on the size of your group and the date – the larger the group, the better the offer. Send us an inquiry and you will get a quote within 24 hours.
Reserved area on board
On request, we reserve an area for your group so everyone can sit together instead of being spread across the boat – in the covered salon or on the upper deck, depending on the weather and group size.
One invoice for the whole group
One invoice for the entire group instead of many individual tickets – practical for company bookings and club trips. On request, with all the tax details and information your organization needs.
Your route through Berlin
60 minutes on the Spree – Berlin highlights all the way
MINUTE 0 · THE START
Departure from Anleger Friedrichsbrücke
Centrally located in Berlin-Mitte, a short walk from Hackescher Markt and right opposite Berlin Cathedral. The crew welcomes you, the live guide checks the sound system, the ropes are cast off – and off you go.
- Anna-Louisa-Karsch-Straße 2, 10178 Berlin-Mitte
- A short walk from Hackescher Markt S-Bahn station
- Board before departure – find your seat and settle in
- First views of Berlin Cathedral and Museum Island
- The live guide introduces the tour in German and English
MINUTE 10 · HISTORY MEETS TECHNOLOGY
Mühlendamm Lock in the heart of Berlin
One of the highlights of the tour: a lock right in the middle of the city. The live guide explains how the locks keep Berlin's waterways navigable – and you see it all up close from the water.
- The lock seen up close from the water
- The story of Berlin's waterways from the live guide
- Between the Nikolaiviertel and Mühlendamm
- Photo spot: the lock gates
- The Nikolaiviertel, Berlin's oldest quarter, in the background
MINUTE 25 · POLITICS & RECENT HISTORY
The Reichstag, the government district & Bellevue Palace
This is Germany's political heart: the Reichstag with its glass dome, the Paul-Löbe-Haus and the Federal Chancellery, all visible from the water. The boat continues past the Haus der Kulturen der Welt – nicknamed the "pregnant oyster" by Berliners – to Bellevue Palace, the Federal President's official seat. There we turn around and see Berlin from the other side.
- The Reichstag with Norman Foster's dome right in front of you
- The Federal Chancellery from the water, including its helicopter pad
- Haus der Kulturen der Welt – the "pregnant oyster"
- The Carillon with 68 bells, a gift from Daimler-Benz
- Bellevue Palace and the Tiergarten – our turning point
MINUTE 60 · BACK ON LAND
Friedrichstraße, the Weidendammer Brücke & Berlin Cathedral
On the way back, Berlin shows another side: the Tränenpalast at Friedrichstraße station, once a border crossing, and the Weidendammer Brücke with its Prussian eagle. Then it's back to Berlin Cathedral, where your tour began – one hour of Berlin's history and present, seen from the water.
- The Tränenpalast at Friedrichstraße station
- The Weidendammer Brücke with its Prussian eagle
- Theater am Schiffbauerdamm, home of Bertolt Brecht's Berliner Ensemble
- Berlin Cathedral and Museum Island to finish
- A short walk to the Nikolaiviertel, Hackescher Markt and Alexanderplatz
What you experience as a group
One hour of Berlin – the landmarks from the water
From Berlin Cathedral to Bellevue Palace and back, your group sees the key landmarks of the historic center in one hour: the Reichstag, Museum Island, the Federal Chancellery, Mühlendamm Lock, the Tränenpalast and the Weidendammer Brücke. A live guide explains each stop in German and English, so everyone in the group can follow along.
