The cruise lasts approximately one hour with multiple departures available throughout the day. You'll need to arrive at Hackescher Markt 15 minutes before your chosen departure time to exchange your booking confirmation for a boarding pass at the dock.

The boats are not wheelchair accessible, so this tour is not suitable for wheelchair users.

The vessels are equipped with basic facilities and helpful staff who can answer questions about Berlin's sights.
