Berlin & Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Shore Excursion from Warnemünde Port
1 day
About this activity
This shore excursion is adjusted to each ship’s docking times and starts promptly after your vessel’s arrival, returning with plenty of time to spare before its departure. Our expert team has been organizing these tours for nearly a decade. We have never missed a cruise ship’s departure and imparted our knowledge and enthusiasm for our unique and beautiful city to thousands of satisfied passengers!
Your hosts will greet you in front of your cruise ship as soon as it docks and show you to a comfortable, air-conditioned bus. After a relaxing, comfortable 2.5-hour journey through the picturesque flatlands of East Germany, you will arrive at Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Memorial. Here you will be introduced to your guide who will give you a brief overview of the history and horrifying events which transpired there. After approximately 45 minutes at the Memorial, you will board the coach and drive to the city center of Berlin.
Once we arrive in Berlin you will be able to buy a quick lunch and have a 30-minute break. After lunch the tour continues in the government quarter where you will see the German parliament - the Reichstag, the Brandenburg Gate, Pariser Platz, the Tiergarten, the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe and Hitler's bunker. From there you will head south through Potsdamer Platz to see the remains of the Berlin Wall as well as the former Headquarters of the SS and Gestapo, and Checkpoint Charlie. After a photo stop you will head up Friedrichstrasse to the classic heart of the German capital which includes Gendarmenmarkt, Bebel Platz - the book burning square, Unter den Linden, Humboldt University, the Neue Wache, former Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Museum Island and the former Royal Palace of Berlin which is currently being rebuilt.
Time permitting the guide may also have time to show you a few sites in the former West Berlin, including the KaDeWe shopping center, Kurfürstendamm, the bombed out Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church as well as the Bellevue and the Charlottenburg Palaces.

Very good tour. Our tour guide was very informational. Very worth the money compared to what the Cruise line offered. They also have this guarantee that they will get you back to the boat in time which we were back more than enough time. It was a 12 hour tour because Berlin is about 3 hours away but bus was very comfortable. This trip I had 3 tours with Viator and I would highly recommend them. There tours were better than the cruise lines.
