Berlin has two large rivers - Spree and Havel - as well as lots of lakes and canals where ships and boats cruise. The Spree river flows in arches through the center of Berlin, south of it runs the Landwehr canal. Therefore, all boat tours through the inner city follow the same route over the Spree river and the Landwehr canal, only length and duration of the boat tours vary, depending on start and finish points. This page presents the most popular river cruises, tickets can be bought online.
Please note: From March 2021, river cruises and boat trips will again be available in Berlin to a reduced extent. Tickets can now be booked here. Please inform yourself before departure about the current restrictions and measures concerning Covid-19. Please wear masks when entering and leaving the ship.
