Overview

A boat trip through Berlin's city centre at Christmas time offers a magical way to experience the festive charm of the city from the water. As you drive along the Spree, you will enjoy breathtaking views of Berlin's landmarks, including the Reichstag, Berlin Cathedral and the historic Museum Island.

The city's Christmas markets along the riverbanks add a festive touch with sparkling lights, the scent of mulled wine and the warmth of the holiday spirit. The tranquil atmosphere, combined with the wintry landscape, makes this boat trip a cozy and unforgettable way to explore Berlin's winter wonderland.

Guests can enjoy the festive warmth of a centrally heated boat while sipping traditional mulled wine and enjoying slices of Christ's tunnel.
