Bringing you to the lively capital of Germany, each Berlin river cruise is an experience you'll never forget. The city is both historic and creative -- making use of both aspects to pay homage to its culture and continue its growth. Berlin is located on the forefront of all kinds of technological advancement too -- ensuring that it's full of fantastic architecture, world-class dining venues, eclectic nightlife, and one of the world's top fashion and shopping scenes.
Berlin is located along the Spree River, a tributary of the Havel River, which is itself a tributary of the larger Elbe River. Because of its proximity, the city is commonly featured along our luxury cruise lines' Elbe River cruises. Alternatively, several other European river cruise itineraries feature Berlin as a non-cruise excursion, where you'll either fly, drive, or take the train into the city. Regardless of how you get to Berlin, the city has near limitless possibilities, making it a favorite among Authentic Voyages travelers.
Look Forward with BerlinAs it goes, Germany has had a tumultuous, often tragic, past. The city of Berlin was at the epicenter over the centuries, initially being settled in the late 1100s. Though the city has hundreds of years of history, it's best known today for being the headquarters to the Nazi party's SS and Gestapo forces shortly before and during World War II. While this was once a tragic locale for the 20th century, today the city has transformed into a diverse and innovative place that welcomes people from all backgrounds and walks of life. The Berlin of today pays homage to its past still, with countless museums and the creative re-use of several World War II-era buildings. This is a city for history lovers, futurists, artists, and more.
