Itinerary:

• 09:00-12:00 You will be greeted at Warnemünde port, where your cruise ship docks. Your driver will take you to Berlin, where you will be joined by one of our professional guides
• 12:00-12:30 In Berlin you will start the day by exploring how the relationship between the East and West created Berlin’s squatting culture and attracted from around the world artists. You will explore the longest remaining stretch of the Berlin Wall with its famous graffiti known as the East Side Gallery
• 12:30-13:30 You will visit the district of Friedrichshain, which after the fall of the Wall became the centre of all things punk and anti-fascist as derelict buildings were squatted by the extreme left and right. Over the past decade, the area has transformed into an affordable, multicultural, and vibrant party hub of the capital
• 13:30-14:30 Free time for lunch
• 14:30-16:30 You will cross Berlin’s most iconic bridge, the Oberbaum Bridge and visit the southern district of Kreuzberg, located in the former American sector. This area was predominantly Turkish after the war but in recent years it has become one of the most sought-after expat neighbourhoods and hipster heaven with expensive rent. Here you will see the Prinzessinnengarten and pass some of the most famous spots for nightlife and shopping in the Kottbuser Platz
• 16:30-18:00 To round out your modern Berlin experience we will take you through one of the most gentrified districts — Prenzlauer Berg to show how the relocated West Germans and expats have turned a once grungy part of town into an upscale area now filled with craft breweries, cupcake stores and homemade ice cream shops
• 18:00-21:00 Driving back to the ship with a restroom stop on the way
