About This Cruise

VIVA RUBY Special: 

A little something extra for your getaway – book between October 13 and 31, 2026, and enjoy all excursions included.

 

Immerse yourself in the vibrant diversity of Berlin and its charming surroundings on this unique river cruise, which fascinatingly combines historical experiences with relaxation in nature. The route begins on the lively banks of the Spree, where modern architecture and historic buildings create an exciting interplay. 

Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, the journey continues to historic sites such as Oranienburg, known for its Baroque castle, and the moving Sachsenhausen Memorial. Here you’ll enjoy the tranquil beauty of the river landscapes, characterized by dense forests, charming villages, and small landing stages—ideal for leisurely walks or individual excursions.

A special highlight is the stop in Potsdam, whose magnificent cultural landscape—featuring UNESCO World Heritage sites such as Sanssouci Palace and the New Palace—is sure to delight. Let yourself be enchanted by the architectural diversity, Prussian history, and sprawling gardens.

This trip is perfect for anyone who wants to experience the soul of Berlin to the fullest while discovering the idyllic waterways of Brandenburg. Whether on deck with a glass of wine, on a guided city tour, or during a bike ride along the river—the combination of urban vibrancy and tranquil nature promises unforgettable moments with a touch of waterfront romance.

Itinerary

Germany

Potsdam

Potsdam, the capital of Brandenburg, is the state’s most populous city with approximately 180,000 residents. Above all, however, Potsdam stands out for its many worthwhile attractions, some of which are even designated as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. After all, the city was added to the so-called List of World Cultural and Natural Heritage Sites as early as 1990, as it is home to the largest concentration of World Heritage sites in Germany. Since 2019, the Brandenburg city has also been designated a UNESCO Film City. Among its best-known and most important attractions are undoubtedly the famous Sanssouci Palace with its beautiful palace gardens, as well as the Potsdam Film Museum and the Mill Museum in the historic mill.
