Worth the time! - We were so glad we selected this cruise over others. The Hemingway was so charming with its history really shining. The staff were incredibly thoughtful and kind and happy to answer any questions. After walking around Berlin for days, this was a great way to get a different view of the buildings and town. We learned a lot from the recorded explanations of the sights!

Travel in Style on the Spree! - Communication excellent in the run-up, Christine decidedly helpful in re-booking a twilight tour after we were delayed enroute. Crew could also not have been more accommodating, and canapés and drinks on the cruise made for a perfect end to our week in Berlin. The boat dated from 1908 and was beautifully restored, besides being converted to silent operation under electrical power.

Perfectly romantic and relaxing sightseeing - This was so much more romantic than I thought it would be. We went at sunset, and I definite commend that because it’s a beautiful sight to see on the water. The complimentary champagne and mild wine are both great. I definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a quiet, relaxing experience to see the city from a new perspective.

Hemingway - the best looking boat on the Spree! - Our trip was on a very bad weather day and the the cruise on the “Hemingway” was a perfect respite. It was comfortable with informative commentary in German and English. A good selection of drinks and snacks on board. I definitely recommend it.

Beautiful motor yacht... - Beautiful motor yacht built to a class style and converted to electric means it’s a quiet and relaxed hour on the Spree. The staff are very friendly and informative, and you feel very welcomed. A much better way to do a river cruise as there were only 4 small groups on board. A very comfortable deck, and stunning wood finish throughout.

Pleasant October trip on the charming ‘Hemmingway’ - The boat was as lovely as we hoped and the crew warm and welcoming. We chose to leave the boat at the Berliner Dom to visit the Art Market close by. This debarking option is described in the tour itinerary, but apparently may not always be possible. We were accommodated that day, but be sure to tell the crew as soon as you board if you’d like to take advantage of the one-way option.

Pleasant way to spend time looking at a different view of Berlin - We enjoyed our trip, the boat was clean and the staff very friendly. Overall experience was enjoyable although we would have preferred a little longer trip as one hour went really quickly

Great starter tour - Excellent tour and service. Love the Hemmingway and its electric conversion. Audio level could be a touch louder outside.
