Best of Berlin and Sachsenhausen Shore Excursion from Warnemunde
Overview
This shore excursion thoughtfully combines our classic All-in-One Best of Berlin experience with a visit to Sachsenhausen, the largest concentration camp near Berlin. You’ll be met right at your cruise ship in Warnemünde or Rostock and travel first to the Sachsenhausen Memorial for a guided introduction to the site. Afterwards, your guide will accompany you to Berlin, where you’ll explore the city’s most important landmarks. Since Sachsenhausen lies on the route from the port to Berlin, visiting it first minimizes extra driving. Please note, however, that this itinerary involves slightly more time on the bus than our standard Berlin shore excursion. Every tour is carefully scheduled to match your ship’s docking times, beginning promptly after arrival and returning well before departure. With nearly a decade of experience, we are proud to have never missed a cruise ship’sdeparture.
