This boat cruise on the Seine was absolutely incredible and truly magical. Seeing Paris from the water gives you a completely different perspective — the city feels even more beautiful, romantic, and alive. Gliding past iconic landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame, and the Louvre while enjoying the calm of the river was unforgettable. The atmosphere was enchanting, especially as the lights reflected on the water, creating a dreamlike experience. Everything was well organized, comfortable, and smooth from start to finish. It was one of the highlights of my trip to Paris, and I would 100% recommend it to anyone who wants to experience the city in a unique and unforgettable way.

The sightseeing cruise was great with relevant commentary and audio guide. Being able to sit on the top deck made it for us and there were plenty of places to sit. There was use of a bar and toilets but we did not use either. I was a little confused about the timing of the cruise as I thought when I booked it I was able to go anytime after the starting time of 5pm but as I was unable to contact anyone to confirm whilst we were away (with whatsapp and email going unanswered) and the information on the website was vague so we aimed for the 5pm sailing which worked out well for us in the end luckily.

The organisation was very good. The boat left on time. Once we were underway the guide who was providing commentary was brilliant. She took time to tell you a bit about each landmark and its history, even throwing in a bit of humor. She did all this in 3 languages as well, French, English and I think Italian. The whole process from buying to tickets, following the directions provided by the app, scanning the tickets and the actual cruise was seamless, easy to do and well planned. Thank you Headout!

Magical views of Paris under the starry-lit sky

After the sun sets, make your way to the Port de la Bourdonnais, located at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, and embark on a magical 1-hour nighttime cruise along the Seine River. The boats proceed east on the Seine, heading in the direction of Notre Dame Cathedral. This section travels by well-known locations including the Musée d'Orsay and the Louvre Museum, both of which have stunning nighttime illumination. Boats may slow down further along to admire the golden flame of the Statue of Liberty replica on Île aux Cygnes and the shimmering Pont Alexandre III bridge.

You will then make a 180-degree circle at Notre Dame Cathedral on Île de la Cité island before returning west to the Eiffel Tower. The elaborate Hôtel de Ville, the famed Conciergerie, and the Île Saint-Louis island, known for its 17th-century architecture, are a few more of the most famous landmarks in Paris that are visible.
