Description

Berlins most scenic spots in 1h! After work, enjoy a cool drink and fresh Berlin air on our 140 year old historic steamship “Kaiser Friedrich”, now equipped with an environmentally friendly electric drive, while the capital presents itself from its most beautiful side. During our one-hour cruise, we will take you through the historic center of Old Berlin. Starting opposite from the Berlin Dom, we pass the City Palace, Nikolai Quarter, Museum Island, Friedrichstrasse and Friedrichstadtpalast, the government district, the main railway station, Tiergarten and the House of World Cultures, known throughout Berlin as the “pregnant oyster”. On our whisper-quiet electric boat, the stress of everyday life melts away, the Spree laps gently against the bow and the evening sun glistens on the water. And from the water, you may have already spotted a cozy place to start your evening in Berlin's city center. Welcome aboard!

Nice quiet and quiet trip.

Nice trip in nice weather - when the weather turned out from its best side we sat on deck and enjoy the sun. Very nice service that provided cold drinks.

Terrific 1-hr tour to see Berlin

A terrific day to spend an hour with children getting to know the city. Only drawback is you can’t hear very well the taped recording, especially if you’re sitting above deck.

Beware— charged twice!

I was charged twice! Once by Viator then by the company in the boat. They did not give a refund even after I showed them my receipts for paying before.

Operator response

Dear Artika, I am sorry for the experience you had while riding with us. We never charge our customers again if a valid ticket is presented upon entry. Please contact us at ahoi@kaiserfriedrich.berlin in order to figure out a solution to your problem, I am confident we can sort it out.

Unique experience to explore Berlin from the water.

On the beautiful historic Kaiser Friedrich we experienced an unforgettable beautiful afternoon. The one-hour tour was perfect to show my Munich friends around the city. On board there is the perfect Berlin catering and nice courteous bar staff - even under ship in the salon it is very nice. The many sights are told very sympathetically and informatively by a crew member - our questions were answered personally. All around perfect- Thank you !!!
