What makes The Original Berlin Shore Trip from Warnemunde or Rostock Port a unique experience ?
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.
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.
Driving through the former British Sector, you will then cruise down the Kurfürstendamm – Berlin’s Champs-Élysées.
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.
Next we pass the largest department store in continental Europe, now well over 100 years old.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Back on the bus we’ll drive past the oldest district in Berlin.
Next we pass the second tallest building in Europe, built as a symbol of the East German state’s power and modernity in 1969.
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.
