All-in-One Berlin Shore Excursion from Warnemunde & Rostock Port

What your day looks like

From ship to shore and back: the absolute best of Berlin in a day. This shore excursion is our flagship experience and is designed to show you the very best of Berlin in the time that you have ashore. The German capital’s recent history is tumultuous and complex, and now the city boasts one of the richest and diverse cultural scenes in Europe. On this tour, you can sit back, stress-free, and have one of our expert guides give you the inside track on one of the most exciting cities on the planet. You will be greeted in front of your cruise ship as soon as it docks and shown to a modern, comfortable and air-conditioned bus. Your professional driver will then transfer you through the picturesque flatlands of former East Germany to Berlin. The journey takes roughly three hours. We aim for approximately 4-4.5 hours with the guide in Berlin. The route from the port to Berlin takes approximately 3 hours in each direction. When you reach the city you will be met at the stunning Schloss Charlottenburg by a professional English speaking tour guide. We will take this opportunity to get off the bus for you to stretch your legs and take in an introduction to the city that will set you up for the rest of the day. You will then once more board the bus and drive through the heart of former West Berlin, heading along the Kurfürstendamm and passing the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church – the ruined spire standing as a testament to the devastation caused by Allied bombing raids in World War II. Driving via the Tiergarten and the stunning Victory Column, you will then make your way toward the historical city center in the former East. You will see the Reichstag, burned down after Hitler’s rise to power and now a bold symbol of modern German democracy and pass through the Brandenburg Gate, Berlin’s most iconic landmark. You will then journey through the iconic concrete stelae of the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe. After a short gran and go lunch break, we drive toward the UNESCO-listed Museum Island, via the Nikolaiviertel, Alexanderplatz, and the Television Tower, and down Unter den Linden to marvel at the splendor of two of Berlin’s most beautiful squares: Bebelplatz and Gendarmenmarkt. Next, we cross the border at Checkpoint Charlie, the most famous crossing point over the Berlin Wall and frontier of the Cold War. Finally, we spend some time walking in the shadow of a remaining stretch of the Berlin Wall – the Cold War’s most brutal symbol. Your guide will provide an in-depth historical and cultural commentary on all the sites visited, and then accompany you back to the Schloss Charlottenburg at the end of the Berlin portion of the tour. You will then be driven back to port.
