See Berlin without wearing yourself out
Why a boat tour is an easy way to see Berlin
Exploring Berlin on foot is tiring, even for younger visitors: long distances, cobblestones, a lot of standing around in front of sights. On the boat you sit comfortably for an hour while Berlin's landmarks pass by. You see a lot of the city and still have energy left for the rest of your day.
A seat for everyone – inside or on deck
Every guest has a seat: in the covered salon behind large windows, or outside on the upper deck when the weather is good. No need to stand during the tour.
€18 instead of €21 for seniors aged 65+
Seniors aged 65 and over and guests with a disability ID pay €18 instead of €21 per ticket. Just show your ID when boarding. With a valid disability ID, the reduced price also applies to guests under 65.
Help with boarding
A ramp leads from the pier onto the boat, and the crew is happy to help you on board – just let them know. Most guests with a walking stick or walker manage it easily. If you use a wheelchair, please call us before your visit so we can prepare.
Clear commentary
Our live guides speak slowly and clearly – no rushing, no slang. If you are hard of hearing, sit at the front of the salon, close to the guide. We do not currently have a hearing loop on board.
Toilet on board
There is a toilet on board, so you can use it at any time during the tour – no need to wait until the boat is back at the pier.
