This shore excursion is adjusted to each ship’s docking times and starts promptly after your vessel’s arrival, returning with plenty of time to spare before its departure. Our expert team has been organizing these tours for nearly a decade. We have never missed a cruise ship’s departure and imparted our knowledge and enthusiasm for our unique and beautiful city to thousands of satisfied passengers!

WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Warnemunde Cruise Port
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.
2. Charlottenburg Palace
You will arrive in Berlin and meet your professional English-speaking tour guide. You will first have a chance to stretch your legs as your knowledgeable local guide gives you an introduction to the city.
3. Kurfurstendamm
Driving through the former British Sector, you will then cruise down the Kurfürstendamm – Berlin’s Champs-Élysées.
4. Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church
Next we witness the devastation caused by US and British bombing raids during WWII as you drive past the preserved ruins of this late 19th-century church.
5. Kaufhaus des Westens (KaDeWe)
Next we pass the largest department store in continental Europe, now well over 100 years old.
6. Tiergarten
You will then be drive through the lush greenery of Berlin's vast central park and see various embassies on the Tiergartenstraße, the Berlin Philharmonic and the Memorial for Victims of the National Socialist Euthanasia Program.
7. Victory Column (Siegessaule)
Make sure to have your camera ready to catch the sun glinting on the golden angel Victoria, goddess of victory, as you circle around Prussia's emphatic monument to its triumphs in the Wars of Unification.
8. Reichstag Building
When we reach the German parliament building – burned down after Hitler’s rise to power, now a bold symbol of modern German democracy – we will exit the bus and spend the next portion of the tour on foot.
9. Memorial to the Sinti and Roma Victims of National Socialism
As we walk from the Reichstag to the Brandenburg Gate via the Tiergarten, we will take a moment to pay tribute to those persecuted as Gypsies under Nazism.
10. Brandenburg Gate
Next we walk through the gateways of Berlin's most iconic monument and find out what makes the Gate the most important cultural monument in Germany.
11. The Holocaust Memorial - Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe
After we leave Pariser Platz plenty of time will be taken to journey through the iconic field of concrete blocks, and bear witness the atrocities of National Socialism.
12. Fuhrerbunker
A short walk takes us to the site of the bunker where history's most notorious criminal committed suicide at the end of WWII. Upon leaving the bunker site we will take a short lunch break of roughly 45 minutes. Your guide will accompany you somewhere with plenty of quick food options and easy access to bathrooms.
13. Nicholas Quarter
Back on the bus we’ll drive past the oldest district in Berlin.
14. Berliner Fernsehturm
Next we pass the second tallest building in Europe, built as a symbol of the East German state’s power and modernity in 1969.
15. Alexanderplatz
We will then head on past the heart of pre-WWII Berlin and see the Old and New Town Halls and the Church of St. Mary.

Next we stop to marvel at the stunning structures and imperial splendor of this UNESCO-listed World Heritage Site. See the Old Museum, the Berlin City Palace, the Berlin Cathedral and more.
17. Bebelplatz
We will then head, time-permitting, into the heart of one Berlin’s stunning squares to visit the site of the Nazi Book Burning that took place on the 10th May 1933.
18. Unter den Linden
Back on the bus you will cruise down Berlin's most important historical boulevard – the city’s royal mile.
19. Gendarmenmarkt
Next we bathe in the architectural splendor of Berlin's most beautiful square. See the French and German Domes and the Concert House, and take some memorable photos.
20. Checkpoint Charlie
Next you will have the chance to cross between East and West at the most famous border crossing point over the Berlin Wall, frontline of the Cold War, where spies roamed and US and Soviet tanks faced off in 1961. Time permitting, we will take a short break here so you have plenty of time to take some photos and buy souvenirs.
21. Topography of Terror
At our last stop you will see the dark heart of Nazi Germany at the former headquarters of the SS and Gestapo and come face-to-face with the Cold War's most brutal symbol: The Berlin Wall. Time will be taken here to use the bathrooms before you board the bus for the last time. Your guide will 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. All of our shore excursions are adjusted to each ship’s docking times and each starts promptly after your vessel’s arrival, returning with plenty of time to spare before its departure. We have been organizing shore excursions for nearly a decade and have never missed a cruise ship’s departure.

Is it a long trip to Berlin, tour covered all the important places, our guide was very informative, only thing he spoke for a long time at each stop and did not have us enough time to take pictures and enjoy the places. Bus driver was a little rough and the first rest stop came two hours after we began and only gave 15 minutes and no chance to get a drink.

Guide was very good. He had extensive knowledge of Berlin. Our time was limited and the city has many sights to see but we were unable to see the market. The traffic was bad and we lost time in traffic.

Ann was a fantastic tour guide. We were not expecting the guide to be on the 3 hour bus ride into Berlin. She talked most of the way about life in the area which was very interesting. About half way there was a bathroom break. For the minimal time we had in the city compared to other ports because of the distance, we saw great highlights. We stayed on the bus driving through the large city, but stopped at several historic locations. We had free time on Museum Island for lunch and pictures of all of the beautiful buildings. Ann was full of information, very knowledgeable about history and current facts; and great at keeping the group together. We were happy to have been on a bus tour since the cruise passengers who took the train into town on their own were hours late getting back because of a train accident backing up train traffic. The ship waited b/c so many people were affected.

This trip exceeded all our expectations! We were a bit concerned about coming back to the ship on time. After an excellent day, we returned even before the Princess crowd that went on a train. We learned so much about the fascinating history of Germany. Our most favorite excursion so far! 👍👍👍

This trip started outside of our ship the Sky Princess at the port at Warnemunde, Germany. Our guide Anne and Olof our driver were exceptional. I would recommend! It was with Viator and Vexperio in Germany.
