Overview

If you have just one day at port when your cruise ship docks at Rostock or Warnemünde, spend it exploring the contrasts and complex history of Berlin. Travel by bus right from the dock to the modern German capital, where a private chauffeur and guide awaits to show you the most important landmarks, from Communist-era relics to Charlottenburg Palace and the sprawling Tiergarten. The afternoon is devoted to an insightful tour of the former Jewish quarter and war memorials.
