Both ships depart from the same pier at Paul-Löbe-Haus, right next to the Reichstag — the most central departure point in Berlin. HEMINGWAY at 12:00, FITZGERALD at 12:30. You're welcomed on board by our uniformed crew, with cold drinks and coffee specialities available throughout.
The tour follows a two-phase concept: a bilingual audio guide accompanies the outward journey through the government district, then lounge music takes over for the return — a moment of pure relaxation. No engine noise, no vibrations: both ships run 100% electric.
