Private Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp

Departing the pier, you will set out with your professional guide through the rural landscape of Mecklenburg and Brandenburg on an approximate two-hour drive to the town of Oranienburg, located near Berlin.

Here you will visit the concentration camp Sachsenhausen. One of the first camps built, it was used during the rise of the National Socialist Party to intern political prisoners and revolutionaries, due to its proximity to Berlin. Although the camp was not a dedicated death camp, thousands of prisoners died of starvation and thousands of captured soldiers were executed. The tour includes the execution chamber, the laundry, which is now a chapel, and the remainder of this austere prison.

Following this, you will drive on to Berlin, where your first stop will be the so-called new heart of Berlin: Potsdam Square. Enjoy some time on your own to stroll around, browse for souvenirs, or grab something to eat at the numerous nearby restaurants. You will get a chance to walk underneath the monumental Brandenburg Gate and take a picture of the renovated Reichstag building with its clear glass dome while strolling through the government district. A drive through the Tiergarten, the former royal hunting grounds, past the Victory column, will take you to "Unter den Linden," Germany's most famous promenade during Prussian times.

Checkpoint Charlie and the Gendarmenmarkt will be the final stops. Snap a shot of this historical site before the drive back to the ship, which will give you time to reflect on all you've seen this unforgettable day.
