Boat tour Berlin with children: relaxed family outing on the Spree

Relaxed instead of strenuous
Why a boat tour is the most relaxing Berlin excursion with children
Discovering Berlin with children is wonderful – but also tiring. Long hours of walking, crowded places, impatient children's feet. A boat tour eliminates all of that. You sit, the boat moves, the children look at the water and the city. For sixty minutes, you see Berlin in peace – and all family members return relaxed, not exhausted.

Toddlers free, children half price
Children aged 0 to 5 travel free of charge with us – no separate ticket required. Children aged 6 to 13 pay €11 instead of €21. A family of four with two children under six years old pays €42 for the complete tour. Fair prices with no hidden clauses.
60 minutes – not too short, not too long
60 minutes is the attention span that even small children can easily manage. Long enough for a real experience, short enough so that boredom doesn't set in. Longer tours (2-3 hours) are too much for most families, short 30-minute rides don't give a proper Berlin feeling. Our 60 minutes hit the sweet spot.
Guaranteed seat
Every guest gets a seat – inside the covered salon or outside on the upper deck. Stroller space in the covered area, children can stand up, move around, and go to the window during the tour.
Snacks and drinks on board
Juice, water, soda, coffee, and small snacks are available at the bar. If you want to bring your own food, you are welcome to do so. Water bottles, pretzels, a snack for the break – everything is allowed. There is a toilet on board.
Live guide for children
Our live guide adapts his stories to the group of guests. If families with children are on board, he incorporates child-friendly stories – about the Berlin bear, the Mühlendamm lock, the toy castle Charlottenburg heritage. Children are often the first to ask questions.

From a child's perspective
Six highlights kids love on our boat tour
What has proven to be the most exciting moments for children, based on our experience. Parents hear the stories, children experience the spectacle.
Highlight 1
The Mühlendamm lock – the ship rises, the water rises, little engineer eyes light up
highlight 2
Berlin cathedral and TV tower – both in view, perfect photo motif
highlight 3
The swing bridges – kids can see how a bridge opens for another ship
highlight 4
Reichstag with glass dome – "That's where those who govern the country work"
highlight 5
Federal Chancellery with helicopter landing pad on the roof – children almost always find that cool
highlight 6
Bellevue Palace – the federal president's white palace in a park
What your kids will experience on the tour
The complete route with all highlights for children's eyes
