Highlights
  • Seine River - Embark on a delightful cruise and take in Paris’ most iconic landmarks as you indulge in a delightful 3-course dinner including wine, mineral water, and coffee. Your journey begins at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, where you’ll choose from an à-la-carte menu that offers a variety of dishes, including vegetarian options. Aboard a sleek glass-canopy boat, you’ll be treated to stunning views of the Musée d’Orsay, Pont Alexandre III, the Latin Quarter, Notre Dame de Paris, Ile Saint Louis, the Marais, the Louvre, Grand Palais, Place de la Concorde, and more. Meanwhile, the Chef and his team will craft exquisite dishes on board for your enjoyment.
  • Eiffel Tower - The Bateaux Parisiens port is situated at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, a perfect occasion to take a nice picture before or after the cruise. You will also admire views of the Eiffel Tower several times during your dinner cruise.
  • Invalides - As you approach the Pont Alexandre III, you will see the Dome des Invalides on the right side. This monument houses the tomb of Napoleon Bonaparte.
  • Pont Alexandre III - This particularly beautiful bridge was a gift to France from Tsar Alexander III. It’s a wonderful experience to pass underneath this structure aboard the fully glass-enclosed boat.
  • Assemblee Nationale - This characteristic building houses the French parliament. Have a look at it while you savor the flavors of French cuisine.
  • Musee d’Orsay - Admire the architecture of the Musée d’Orsay, which used to be a railway station in the past.
  • Saint Germain des Pres Quarter - You will enjoy nice views of this famous quarter while you cruise on the Seine.
  • Pont-Neuf - Lift your head and admire the sculptures when you pass by Pont Neuf, which is actually the oldest bridge in Paris.
  • Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Paris - From the river, you will have a wonderful perspective of the famous Notre Dame Cathedral.
  • Latin Quarter - Enjoy the specific atmosphere of this area when you pass by.
  • Ile Saint-Louis - The Ile Saint Louis is the heart of historical Paris. You will have interesting views of its typical architecture from the water.
  • Pont Marie - The Pont Marie is a very special bridge. If you pass under this bridge, close your eyes and make a wish. It is said that your wish will come true before next year.
  • Conciergerie - The Conciergerie is a very remarkable landmark. It is the place where King Louis XVI and Queen Marie-Antoinette were imprisoned before they were executed.
  • Louvre / Palais-Royal - Admire the 700 m long facade of the biggest museum in the world. The Louvre used to be the residence of French kings.
  • Place de la Concorde - From the boat, you will see the Egyptian obelisk. The Place de la Concorde played a significant role during the time of the French Revolution, as the guillotine was placed there.
  • Pont de la Concorde - The bridge between the Place de la Concorde and the Assemblée Nationale was built from stones of the Bastille prison, which was destroyed after the French Revolution.
  • Grand Palais - Admire the amazing architecture with its glass coupole! This building hosts exceptional exhibitions and events. During the Olympic Games in 2024, it hosted part of the competitions.

Exquisite Paris memories - The entire meal from start to finish was eloquent, beautifully presented, and exquisitely delicious. Service was kind, timely, attentive, and professional. And of course the view and accompanying tips from my waiter made the entire experience memorable for life. Thank you to everyone from those who graded me at the door, to the amazing chefs and the wonderful service.

Disappointment - Very disappointed. The meal nothing to complain about, but the rest very disappointing. We ate very quickly. 6 p.m. aperitif, 6:10 p.m. starter, and barely finished before the dishes arrived, so at 7:10 p.m. we had coffee. 7:20 p.m. we got off the boat. I asked for a table on the side of the boat. I was told that they were all taken. And finally there was almost no one there and plenty of free tables. On the reservation it was written that you had to dress properly, no shorts or sneakers. The people who booked at the same time as us had shorts and sneakers. Why write it then. Very very disappointed

Poor Experience - I was excited about going on this cruise after reading all the great reviews on Tripadvisor. Unfortunately, we ended up disappointed with our experience. On the positive side, the boat is very clean, and the staff were all professionally dressed. Unfortunately, the food was very bland and did not live up to our expectations. The salmon appetizer was not good, and my wife could not even eat her sea bass entree. We did ask to speak with a manager and pointed out the issues with my wife's entree. He didn't seem to care much about our experience and mumbled that he would share our comments with upper management. Finally, the duration of the cruise was 55 minutes, not the advertised 75 minutes. Bottom line, there are a number of other tour companies that offer dinner cruises on the Seine, and I would suggest you go with one of them.
