The sightseeing cruise on the Seine River was a beautiful and unforgettable experience. Departing from the Eiffel Tower gives it a special charm from the very beginning. Cruising down the river allowed us to enjoy spectacular views of Paris in a peaceful and very pleasant atmosphere. I recommend buying tickets through the Headout website, as it saves time and avoids queues. The service was very good and the tour was full of magical moments. The cruise facilities were very beautiful, with optional meals and spectacular views. I went with my husband and would definitely do it again. It's a highly recommended experience to enjoy and fall even more in love with Paris.

It was a very nice experience because from the boat you could see the Eiffel Tower perfectly, as well as other important buildings and monuments of the city. It was very comfortable to be on both sides of the boat, both inside and outside, since from the outside you could see the whole city beautifully, and if it was too cold we could get in for a while. I imagine that in more touristy months the boat gets completely full, but at this time of year there were not so many people and we were able to enjoy the whole experience!

First the booking through the headout App was very easy. On arrival in Paris everything worked perfectly without any hiccups and the tour was spectacular, a different way to take a historical tour with the explanation of the guides on the ship or with the audios. We really enjoyed it. In addition the boats are very comfortable with heating inside if you want to be more comfortable or outside if you are more adventurous.

    Our Seine River cruise experience last December 2025 was nothing short of magical. It was the perfect way to see Paris from a different perspective, especially during the winter season when the city feels extra romantic and cozy. Gliding along the Seine while passing iconic landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame, the Louvre, and Musée d’Orsay felt surreal, almost like watching a beautiful postcard come to life. What made the experience even more special was the calm and relaxed atmosphere. It allowed us to truly take in the beauty of Paris without the rush of walking or traffic. The commentary was informative yet easy to follow, giving us meaningful insights into the city’s history and architecture. As the lights reflected on the water and the Eiffel Tower Sparkles the view became absolutely unforgettable. It was a memorable, family-friendly experience and one of the highlights of our Paris trip. A Seine cruise is truly a must-do for anyone wanting to experience Paris in an elegant and timeless way.

    Wonderful relax boat ride on the river seine. It was such a cold day in Paris, but it was heated inside the cabins. The seats are comfortable and you can see Paris from a different perspective. Definitely recommended as a family activity. You can also go on the upper deck of a better view but sitting inside is just as good. Boarding is every 30 mins starting on the hour.

    The cruise on the Seine was magical: lights reflected on the water, the Eiffel Tower shining, soft music, wine, laughter and a vibe that simply makes you fall in love with Paris. An experience that I keep in my heart and would recommend a thousand times.
