The experience

The day starts with port pickup and a drive to Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Memorial, where your private guide walks you through the site and explains the history of the Holocaust during the Nazi era. You'll hear the stories of prisoners' fates and the conditions they endured. After spending time at the memorial, you travel to Berlin for the second half of the excursion.

In Berlin, the guide takes you past the Brandenburg Gate, the Reichstag, the Berlin Wall, Checkpoint Charlie, and along Unter den Linden. You'll also see Berlin Cathedral and sites connected to the Third Reich, including Hitler's bunker and the Holocaust Memorial. The route covers the major Cold War and Nazi-era landmarks, with your guide providing context at each stop. Because it's a private tour, the pace and focus can shift based on your interests: mention any special focus when you book.

The guide speaks English, Spanish, Italian, French or one of two additional languages. Port pickup and drop-off are included, as is transport by private vehicle for the entire day. You return to Warnemünde Port in time to reboard your ship.
