Kreuzberg nights are long – our evening cruises through Berlin will stay with you even longer! Experience Berlin aboard the city’s oldest ship, almost 140 years old and now gliding silently and emission-free thanks to its electric propulsion. Relax on the spacious open-air deck or in one of our wood-panelled salons. We pass Holzmarkt 25, the iconic Oberbaum Bridge, the Badeschiff and the Hoppetosse, continuing to the Island of Youth by Treptower Park. There, we turn around and head back into the city, cruising towards the sunset. On board, you can enjoy a freshly tapped Kaiser beer, long drinks and delicious food – from Bockwurst from a Bio-Neuland butcher and fish sandwiches to a vegan Bockwurst alternative from the “Vegane Fleischerei.” Food and drinks are not included in the ticket price. On the return journey, discover historic Berlin, Berlin’s romantic charm, the illuminated restaurants and bars along Schiffbauerdamm, and the impressive government district.

6 Happy Travellers
What a wonderful evening gliding down the canals of Berlin. Lots to see and we all enjoyed the experience. Would definitely recommend this trip as a lovely way of seeing Berlin's beautiful buildings along the canal.
Response from the operator: Ahoy and thank you so much for your lovely review and recommendation! We’re delighted you enjoyed your time on board. We hope to welcome you again soon!

A quiet boat ride
A scenic trip for 2 and a half hours, no guide just quiet as you go down the river taking in parts of Berlin.
Response from the operator: Ahoy and thank you for your review! We’re glad you enjoyed the scenic cruise. We’d love to know: what could we have done better to make your experience even more enjoyable? We’re also sorry it wasn’t clear that all of our tours also include an audio guide available on your phone, should you wish to learn more about Berlin along the way. We hope to welcome you on board again soon!

Not bad
Smooth ride with decent amount of options for drinks and food. There was supposed to be a “guided tour” , that didn’t happen , but they atleast played some music on the boat.
Response from the operator: Ahoy and thank you for your feedback! Our Beer Evening is specifically designed as a relaxed, atmospheric cruise into the sunset and therefore doesn’t include a live tour guide. However, all of our tours offer an audio guide for your smartphone. At other times, we also offer tours with a live guide. We’re glad you enjoyed the drinks, food and music! We hope to welcome you on board again. Cheers!

“Sunset” cruise
The boat itself was a great experience. You get on, buy your drinks & enjoy a scenic 2.5 hour sunset ride around the city. This isn’t a guided tour, as in they don’t tell you about any of the things you see - you just go past them on a boat. However, as someone who paid full price for the admission & the drinks - these men next to us got on the boat without tickets & then proceeded to get discounted tickets & free drinks/food. So maybe I wouldn’t book in advance next time or book a different tour. If you are genuinely looking for a sunset cruise, we did not set sail until after the sun had already set & most of the tour was in the dark - dress warmly but they did have blankets!!
Response from the operator: Ahoy and thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the boat and the overall experience. Some guests may have booked under special offers or discounted rates, which can explain the difference. We do recommend booking in advance, especially for our popular sunset cruises, as they can sell out. We hope to welcome you again!

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Old Berlin Beer Evening – Sunset Cruise on a Steamship: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Berlin.
How much does Old Berlin Beer Evening – Sunset Cruise on a Steamship cost?
+
Prices start at $46 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Berlin usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Old Berlin Beer Evening – Sunset Cruise on a Steamship take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Berlin is not rushed.
Is Old Berlin Beer Evening – Sunset Cruise on a Steamship worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 51 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Berlin, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Old Berlin Beer Evening – Sunset Cruise on a Steamship?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Old Berlin Beer Evening – Sunset Cruise on a Steamship suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Old Berlin Beer Evening – Sunset Cruise on a Steamship?
+
Around 18 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Berlin can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Berlin and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Old Berlin Beer Evening – Sunset Cruise on a Steamship start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Berlin within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Berlin?
+
On Outty we rank every Berlin experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Berlin's Best: 2 Hour Walking Tour Third Reich and the Cold War, Third Reich Berlin: Hitler and WWII Walking Tour, Explore Berlin: See All The Iconic Sights & Some Hidden Gems. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Berlin?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Berlin?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What happens to Old Berlin Beer Evening – Sunset Cruise on a Steamship if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Berlin. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
What do travelers say about Old Berlin Beer Evening – Sunset Cruise on a Steamship?
+
Across 51 reviews averaging 4.0 out of 5, recurring themes include food and drink, photo opportunities, the guide. The tastings and food stops are a highlight for most reviewers.
