Description

Our popular tour takes you to both picturesque corners and the vibrant heart of the capital. On the oldest ship in the city, at almost 140 years old, which now glides silently electric and completely free of exhaust gases, you can make yourself comfortable either on the extended upper deck or in one of our wood-panelled salons. From the city we drive east and make at the Island of Youth before Treptower Park turns, then drive straight into the sunset back into the city. In Old Berlin we pass the illuminated bars and restaurants of the Schiffbauerdamm and cross the impressive government district in its evening glory. Enjoy a freshly tapped Kaiserbier or a wide selection of long drinks from the on-board bar. Also otherwise, her physical well-being is taken care of: Bockwurst from organic newland meat, delicious fish rolls or a vegan hummus variation come from our kitchen.

Beer Boat

The title "Old Berlin Beer Evening Sunset Cruise on Steamship" is misleading. All European river boat tours I've done have drinks and food offered for sale, this was was no different. But the title and description implies beer is included in the price The ride and scenery was unforgettable!

River cruise

Nice tour along on the spree to see Berlin. However, I thought the ticket price was a bit too expensive. If there were was a drink included in it, it would have been more fair. There is no guide to talk along the tour, so don’t expect that. Everyone on staff was very kind.

Unruly passengers and clueless crew - DO NOT RECOMMEND

1. Unruly and drunk passengers and no one in the crew bothers to keep them in check. 2. Zero explanations by the crew in terms of where we are heading and what we are seeing 3. Absolutely filthy bathrooms - cannot use them! 4. Unwanted pictures of people being taken and again no one in the crew keeps the passengers from doing whatever they want (no matter how illegal it is) 5. Smoke filled lungs - all the seats are positioned in a manner that anyone smoking on the boat essentially ruins its for everyone else.

Operator response

Great boat. Do NOT go if you are allergic to cigarette smoke.

Was a fun boat. Very cold and we were not prepared. Beware. The boat allows smoking and the smokers stood at the front of the boat smoking. Very offensive smell. We moved to the rear of the boat, then the servers sat and smoked right in front of us.

Operator response

Ahoy, Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that the cold weather and smoking on board affected your experience. We appreciate your comments and will review your concerns with our team. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Greetings from the Spree!

Great Cruise - Exceptional Customer Service

Having booked through Tripadvisor when I had a problem they were unresponsive so contacted Kaiserfriedrch.berlin directly. Fantastic customer service - Thank you! The sunset cruise was relaxing and a wonderful way to see the city. Staff were friendly and the bar whilst small managed to get drinks out quickly and they are reasonably priced too. Definitely worthy of a to do list for any trip to Berlin

Operator response

A lovely long boat trip with beautiful views to beautiful and exciting places you can only see from the river. Good service on the boat, blankets and umbrellas and the opportunity to get something to drink.

Pleasant experience

The tour was very pleasant for the most part but lacked any commentary or guide. We had hoped to learn something about the places we could see along the journey, and instead, consulted our phones a bit to determine where we were. The service in board was very pleasant and the boat was not crowded. The food and drink options were good. Safety rules were followed. Unfortunately it was a very cold windy evening and the blankets that were provided, were a big help.

Operator response

Ahoy and thank you for your feedback and for joining us. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the atmosphere on board. We're also glad the blankets helped make the chilly evening a little more comfortable.
