Great Cruise, Music and Views - The cruise was fantastic. They had a jazz quartet on deck who played through the entire cruise and were terrific. The "Old Berlin Beer Evening Cruise" title led us to believe we'd get beer as part of our ticket price, but beer was not included. You could buy it on board for a reasonable price, so not a big deal, but the title is a bit misleading IMHO. Staff were super friendly, the boat seemed safe and clean. Great experience overall.

Wonderful cruise on the Spree - An excellent cruise along the Spree with drinks on offer throughout, brought directly to you. We loved seeing all the different activities happening along the shore. So lovely to do this at sunset. It met all my expectations as a birthday treat for my husband.

Blissful Berlin - A beautiful cruise at sunset, the perfect relaxing end to a day exploring magical Berlin, blessed by a glorious sunset along the Spree. History and culture at every bend of the river, nice beer on board...some drank a little too much! Nice music, we were expecting a commentary but maybe that wasn't available on our evening. We would recommend this experience!

Pricey for what you get - Overall, it was a pleasant evening. I expected a bit more for the cost of the trip. It’s a bit cramped on board, and beer/food costs extra. The waitress was very good and presented the bill at the end. A commentary or audio guide on the sights could help get more out of it. However it was a hot and sunny day, so the trip was enjoyable nonetheless.

Beer Boat - The title "Old Berlin Beer Evening Sunset Cruise on Steamship" is misleading. All European river boat tours I've done have drinks and food offered for sale, this was was no different. But the title and description implies beer is included in the price The ride and scenery was unforgettable!

Misleading title - I’m giving this 3 stars because the name is misleading. This cruise has absolutely nothing to do with beer. It’s a lovely sunset cruise and if that’s how you think about it then lovely! But it’s literally no different than any other cruise. On board bar you order and pay for. Extremely limited food on board (herring sandwich or bratwurst sausage were the only entrees - hummus platter was good though). Eat before you go!

Lazily float along, and that’s it. - This is a very sedate experience perfect for someone who just wants to float along the river a bit and view the buildings. The boat was very crowded and it’s not really big enough to walk around and enjoy any movement. The staff were attentive, the beer was nice and cold and the food was actually good. The two and a half hours just kind of drag along, unfortunately.

River cruise - Nice tour along on the spree to see Berlin. However, I thought the ticket price was a bit too expensive. If there were was a drink included in it, it would have been more fair. There is no guide to talk along the tour, so don’t expect that. Everyone on staff was very kind.

Conclusion - I was greeted nicely as the birthday person. The service ladies were hardworking and very nice. Tried to raise the standard. The supply was scarce, the orders uncoordinated. Why does the trip have something with "beer" in the name if there isn't one for free and there are three on the menu? During the trip, there were no explanations about anything at all. From my point of view, the price-performance ratio was unreasonable. So my conclusion, a pity, the expectations were not met in any respect. It's just good that we were together with our favorite people and only had nice fellow travelers with us.
