- Yes, millions of visitors take a cruise on the River Seine each year. It offers a unique vantage point of the city's most popular landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower, Louvre Museum, Notre Dame, Orsay Museum and many more. Visitors can opt for sightseeing cruises or dinner cruises on the Seine River.
- Here are the types of Seine River cruises in Paris:
- Sightseeing cruises: Discover top sights in Paris on a sightseeing cruise along the River Seine. These cruises generally last for an hour and include either a multilingual audio guide or an expert local guide who delivers interesting commentary.
- Dinner cruises: Dine in style under the enchanting sky on a Paris dinner cruise. Indulge in authentic French cuisine as you are serenaded by live music in the background.
- Combo cruises: Experience more of Paris for lower prices with a combo cruise. Not only will you enjoy a relaxing cruise along the Seine River cruise, but these combo tickets also include entry to popular attractions and experiences in the city, such as the Eiffel Tower or a cabaret show.
- Most boarding points are along the banks close to the Eiffel Tower. Some prominent points are:
- Pont de l'Alma
- Port de Solférino
- Place de Sydney
- The boarding point for each cruise and the directions on how to get there will be included in your confirmed ticket.
- A Seine River cruise is a great way to soak in the city's famous landmarks from an unusual vantage point. You can see the Eiffel Tower, Orsay Museum, Louvre Museum, Notre Dame, Montmartre, and more.
- While both are great options to go for in Paris, here's what to expect:
- Lunch cruise: Paris during the day is lovely and the clear skies allow you to fully appreciate the beauty of its historic landmarks. Lunch cruises include a variety of continental and French dishes, with drinks and live music
- Dinner cruise: Romance is in the Parisian air during evenings. Under the glittering stars, sail across the Seine and enjoy your French buffet while classical music plays in the background.
- Lunch cruises are better if you want to spot the city's landmarks during the day and night cruises are ideal if you are looking for an intimate, romantic experience.
- Yes, dinner and lunch cruises in Paris do include buffet meals with drinks. You can enjoy a variety of dishes here, which include appetizers, a main course, and dessert, along with wine or champagne. Sightseeing cruises may include refreshments and snacks, but do not include meals.

- Yes, sunset cruises are available in Paris. Most sunset cruises are a part of dinner or sightseeing cruises. Depending on what you opt for, you'll also enjoy meals, live entertainment, snacks, and drinks.
- The best months to go for a Seine River cruise is September to December and March to May, when the crowds are smaller and cool winds pass you by. The hottest and busiest months are June to August, a time period when everyone enjoys summer holidays, and it may not be the best time for a cruise. January to March is generally freezing in Paris and most tour operators may not run cruises during these months. If you don't mind the crowds, December is another excellent option to go for a cruise with the city lit up with Christmas spirit.
- Sightseeing cruises in Paris generally last for an hour, while dinner cruises and lunch cruises extend to 2-2.5 hours since they include meals and live entertainment.
- Yes, most sightseeing cruises do. For a self-guided tour, you can use a multilingual audioguide. Alternatively, if not an audio guide, you will benefit from the services of an expert local guide who will enlighten you throughout your journey with interesting facts and trivia.

My family really enjoyed the experience in combo eiffel tower / Seine, the only thing that left us puzzled ( maybe because we did not understand it well ourselves ) , the guide after accompanying us to the tower and pointed out the steps for security checks, on the way down there was no more , we still found our way and took the cruise on the Seine

The tour went really well, we just had a bit of trouble finding our guide. It was hard to find the meeting point, especially as we were from the provinces.

It was our first time in Paris and the cruise was magical. From the moment we stepped on the boat until we disembarked we were treated like royalty. Our waiter was Isaac and he was exceptional! Paris lit up at night set the stage for a romantic, intimate mood that continued long after the cruise ended. Thank you for a perfect evening. Merci!!!

This was one of the highlights of our trip. The views were beautiful, the boat was clean and safe, and it was not overcrowded. Both children and adults in our group had a lovely time. We could have stayed on much longer.

The experience was nice, see the city from another angle, the tickets can be used at the time you want, the boat leaves every hour, it does not have to be specifically at the time purchased, keep in mind that as in Paris it gets dark late, you will not really see the city illuminated until it is not more than 9, so keep this in mind, otherwise everything excellent.

We didn't have to wait very long, thanks to the tickets purchased in advance via the app.
Definitely worth a try!
The riverboat ride was really nice too, and we really appreciated the Eiffel Tower!

We truly enjoyed the river cruise, the appetizing French Menu meal and the beautiful dessert! The service was timed well with the cruise and the entertainment (singer) was enjoyable as a backdrop to the cruise without overpowering or taking center stage. Thank you!
