Excellent value for the money, flexible schedule, and a unique experience, as the tour showcases major attractions from a different perspective. P.S. I went on a Saturday late afternoon; many French people gather along the river for their “happy hour,” and the waves and interactions with the passing boat are very friendly and fun.

We had a seat on the top. It was wonderfull. Great to use the main sights. There were people standing, which did stop the view, even though they were asked not to stand by signs on the boat. For the money, it was fantastic to see all the main monuments as we traveled on the river.

The cruise was very enjoyable. One of the best features of the service is that you can use your ticket from 5:00 PM to 10:30 PM during spring and summer—it’s very flexible, which is convenient since Paris is a big city and schedules can vary. The food at the bar was excellent. The trip was phenomenal; you can see Paris’s main attractions from the boat, as well as all the beautiful floating bars and restaurants on the Seine, which are full of friendly people who greet you all the time. A great experience!

Despite the fact that we booked this for a Canicular Day, the Seine Cruise was incredibily pleasant, the bise of the water made the sunt bearable. The ladyy who desribed the landmarks had an excellent accent in all spoken languages. Another fun thong was people sayting hello on the other boats or on the shore of the river, super fun for kids especially I have really enjoyed this and would definitely book again when I will be back in Paris.

I really enjoyed the experience 🥰. At first, I was annoyed that my booking time was set by the app instead of me, but I ended up arriving late and was able to board the available boat. The customer service was very good, and the cruise and comfort were excellent.

Do it after sunset. The buildings and the bridge are all lit up. It was really hot, and it was amazing to see all the people along the Seine singing, dancing, and having a drink... The only downside: the wait to board. There were tons of people. At least a 45-minute line.

One booking combines timed entry to the Louvre Museum with a flexible Seine evening cruise, so you can enjoy both on the same day or on separate days.

Timed entry to the Louvre includes access to the permanent and temporary collections, plus an audio guide available in French, English, Italian, German, and Spanish.

Explore world-famous masterpieces including the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo, and Winged Victory of Samothrace as you wander through the museum's painting, sculpture, and decorative arts galleries.

Enjoy a 1-hour Bateaux Parisiens evening cruise with a choice of departure times, audio commentary in 14 languages, and views of illuminated landmarks such as Notre Dame Cathedral, Musée d’Orsay, Pont Alexandre III, and the Statue of Liberty replica on Île aux Cygnes.

The cruise departs from Port de la Bourdonnais at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, and your ticket remains valid for 6 months from the selected date, giving you the flexibility to cruise whenever it suits your itinerary.

It is a fun and enjoyable cruise on the boat. It takes you to all the main areas of Paris through the river and it's enjoyable to hang around and watch all the people sitting at the river front. I didn't realize that you could buy champagne or even take your own champagne with you in the cruise. It would've been more enjoyable if I had some champagne at the time. If you do it, I recommend you take your own champagne to drink on the ship when you're on the top of the ship it does get a little bit hot so I recommend you take a hat or some sort of shade with you.

It was a really nice and relaxing way to see some of Paris' monuments. There was some waiting time in line on land, and more waiting on the boat before departure, but the weather was good, so it didn't matter too much. We sat on the open deck. There isn't much comfort (no cushions), but it’s fine. At times, it was challenging to hear what was being said over the microphone.

The ride was very comfortable and a good duration. I got on to the boat just as the Eiffel Tower was getting lit up so it was gorgeous to see it in the dusk and then with the night tiem sky and eventually the sparkle! The temperature does drop quickly once it gets dark (even in the summer) so I would recommend a light jacket in the future.

A timed Louvre entry for your daytime plans, plus a flexible Seine evening cruise for Paris after dark—both in one booking.
