After disembarking your cruise ship, greet your driver at either Rostock or Warnemünde port and relax during the 3-hour journey to Berlin. Following a historical overview of the German capital from your guide, you’ll embark on a panoramic tour of west Berlin’s highlights.
Travel down the tree-lined boulevard of Kurfurstendamm (Ku’damm) and Unter den Linden, pass historical landmarks such as the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church (Kaiser-Wilhelm Gedächtniskirche), the Brandenburg Gate (Brandenburger Tor), the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe (Holocaust Memorial), and the mighty Reichstag, plus many more.
Following a break for lunch, during which your guide recommends local restaurants and popular German dishes, you’ll return to the coach and explore east Berlin, considered a more relaxed and artistic side of the city. Berlin Cathedral (Berliner Dom), Potsdamer Platz, Checkpoint Charlie, and Museumsinsel (Museum Island) all feature on the east Berlin sightseeing itinerary, in addition to the 18th-century Gendarmenmarkt, the Neue Wache memorial, and Alexanderplatz, the spiritual heart of the capital.
Your tour concludes with drop-off back at your chosen cruise port.

Named after Tsar Alexander I, Alexanderplatz was the heart of East Germany and remains Berlin's eastern center. Amongst the sights to look out for here are the 365 meter TV Tower, Berlin's highest construction topped by a globe with a rotating viewing platform, and the Rotes Rathouse, Berlin's town hall and home to the governing mayor and the government of Berlin.
Your tour in Berlin will end at the Topography of Terror. This outdoor and indoor museum located on the site of the Gestapo headquarters is a tangible reminder of Germany's Nazi past. At the conclusion of the tour, the groups will reconvene and go back to their original transfer buses, and then depart back to the port.
