Make sure to check the weekly schedule and arrive at the pier with time to spare We suggest combining a visit there with the Reichstag Building, about 10' walk away.

Meta review

Except for a few obviously fake comments (probably from competitors), the customers reviews are positive. People enjoy the boat and the route even though the comments could be more lively and engaging.

Environmental & Social

Boats run on fossil fuels. Neutral from a social perspective.

Conclusion

The East-Side cruise over the Spree operated by Spree & Havelschiffahrt provides passengers with a different viewing angle over some of the best architecture in the city, in particular the museums on Museumsinsel, Nikolaiviertel and the Oberbaum Bridge. Beyond that, if the weather is sunny, a boat ride is difficult to beat!
