The Seine River cruise was one of the highlights of my trip to Paris. Drifting along the water gave me a whole new perspective on the city’s most iconic landmarks—the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame, and the Louvre all looked even more magical from the river. The atmosphere was calm and romantic, especially as the sun set and the city lights began to sparkle. Passing under the historic bridges, each with its own charm, made the journey feel like stepping into a living postcard. It was the perfect mix of relaxation, beauty, and Parisian charm—I’d recommend it to anyone visiting the city.

It exceeded our expectations. The images of the upper pavilion are spectacular, but we were with children and the comfort inside was very cozy. And there are also headphones that tell the story of each monument you see along the way. I would definitely do it again. There's also the super attentive staff who welcomed us with great friendliness, everyone is to be congratulated. I highly recommend it.

A wonderful way to see some of the major sites of Paris when pressed for time...we were on a cruise ship excursion and only had 4 hours in Paris. The tour guide suggested this or hop on/hop off bus (which I'm not a fan of) and I'm so glad I chose the cruise!! The boat loads/drops off right at the Eiffel Tower so we were able to spend some time there also. Would definitely recommend

What I loved about the experience was knowing I was cruising on the same river that the Olympic athletes traveled on opening day. And seeing the Eiffel Tower by water What I didn't like was the guide did not speak very much. He didn't tell us very much of anything as we traveled. I also thought the guide would speak in English & he did not. We just kind of cruised along & looked at the buildings. I would have preferred a guide who talked the entire time & let us know everything we were passing

It was a wonderful night to enjoy a sightseeing cruise along the Seine River in Paris. The view from the boat was breathtaking, especially when passing by the Eiffel Tower. Many buildings were beautifully illuminated, creating a romantic and magical atmosphere. When the Eiffel Tower began to shine, it looked as if it had a special filter, glowing like a diamond in the night sky.

The cruise was great value for the price a bit overcrowded but worth the price great views of the sights along the river and my 10 year old daughter loved it as well. Just wish we was there longer and experienced the other offers but would recommend it to others

Without being too harsh, for €17 each person you cannot complain about the price. The excursion was just an average up and down the Sienne taking in a couple of interesting sites, Notre Dame was probably the highlight and obviously the Eiffel tower.

Macarons, and notre dame's view from Sekwana. We've got great time with my family. Good way to spent time at first trip to Paris. Great way to see the city and important buildings near Sekwana like orsay, louvre or Alexander III's bridge

Sightseeing along the Seine

Ready for a delightful Parisian escapade? Head to Port de la Bourdonnais, right under the Eiffel Tower, and hop aboard a flexible one-hour Seine River cruise. Forget the fuss – you can board whenever you fancy throughout the day as the cruise departs every 1 hour. As the boat leisurely cruises down the Seine, you'll catch sight of Paris's coolest spots. We're talking about the fancy Assemblee Nationale, the artsy Musee d'Orsay, the classy Institut de France, the Pantheon, the chic Cite de la Mode, Hotel de Ville, Notre Dame, and the Conciergerie. Sail under the arches of the oldest bridge, Pont Neuf, and wave to the regal Pont Alexandre III, named after a Russian tsar.

Onboard amenities

Secure a position on the terrace to indulge in exceptional panoramic views, and concurrently, avail yourself of the onboard Wi-Fi connectivity. Additionally, do not overlook the multilingual audio guide in 11 languages. So, jump on board, soak in the sights, and let the Seine show you the best of Paris.
