Your tour begins with a 1-hour city tour on the river Spree (1 hour), which will take you through the center of Berlin. The ship first goes east, past the Berliner Dome and the Humboldt Forum. In front of the lock, the origin of Berlin, the ship will turn before cruising down the Spree to the valley. The ride then continues past the Nikolaiviertel at the TV tower, past Museum Island, and through the parliamentary and government district, with the Reichstag building and the imposing dome of Sir Norman Forster. This will then be followed by Berlin Central Station, the Federal Chancellery, and the House of World Cultures. The ship will then turn again, before returning to the starting point of the tour. During your trip, expert explanations of the sights will be provided by a guide. At the starting point of the Spree tour, your guide will take over the group and begins the next state of the tour by crossing the Friedrichsbrücke over to the Museum Island (a World Heritage Site). Shown and explained here will be the Old National Gallery, the Old and New Museum, and the new James Simon Gallery. The tour will then ends with the famous addition to the German Historical Museum (arsenal) of the star architect Pei and the Schlüterhof.
