Berlin cruises take travelers along the Spree River, visiting Museum Island, Brandenburg Gate, and historic districts. Enjoy German food, local pastries, and see landmarks like the Reichstag and Berlin Cathedral. Like Amasterdam & Prague, it is also one of the best destinations in Europe. This historic European city's turbulent past, from the struggles of World War II and the Cold War, captured in the museums that honor those who suffered, is juxtaposed by its modern emphasis on progress, development, and the preservation of its diverse cultures. You will have opportunities to tour the various museums & traditional architecture and see the authentic German-style of artwork on city tours of Berlin and Potsdam. For example, the castle of Cecilienhof was relevant as home to peace talks at the end of WWII. Longer cruises will also visit other towns throughout Germany and some even go as far as neighboring Czech Republic, Belgium, the Netherlands, and the Baltic Sea. Start planning today.
