Our pick
Our pick is the Silvesterboot MS Lexator, the cheapest of the three and the only one whose exact times were read (Eventim tickets via berlin.de). For a seated dinner, GetYourGuide offers on ordinary evenings a dinner cruise on the Spree with prosecco: check the date, it is not advertised on 31 December.
How to choose
- Cheapest: MS Lexator, from €83.43.
- Starting near a station: Hafen Treptow, about 100 m from S Treptower Park (lines S8, S9, S85, S42, S46, S47).
- A dinner without the New Year crowd: the dinner cruise on 30 December or 1 January.
Practical tips
- Book before mid-November: a local guide says New Year's Eve boats fill up.
- Getting home. The U-Bahn runs all night on Silvester (according to a local guide); check the 2026-2027 BVG timetable.
- The cold. The MS Lexator has a heated lower deck and an upper deck for the fireworks: bring gloves.
