“A great stay”
The staff, especially Art, were great. The riverside view from my cabin was wonderful. Loved that there was free tea, coffee, water and ice. Great location for Kreuzberg/Friedrichshain, and public transport within easy walking distance to travel to other areas.

Very friendly staff. They let us check in check in early as soon as the room was ready, in our case hours before planned check in. Free coffee and tea. Very good location and having a sea view room was very nice.

Cozy and friendly. I was bumped up to the best room with a little private balcony, without extra cost, just because it was available for the time.

I really enjoyed everything; it's located right next to the famous section of the Berlin Wall. The ship is very clean and comfortable. Complimentary drinks—coffee, tea, and water—are available 24/7. You can drink coffee on deck and enjoy the beautiful views.
