Kaiser Friedrich
On the Kaiser Friedrich, you can explore Berlin from the water aboard the city’s oldest passenger ship. This lovingly restored vessel now cruises the Spree and the Landwehr Canal on electric power. The tours are narrated live in German and English and deliberately focus on creating a personal atmosphere rather than catering to mass tourism.
