It was lovely taking a laid back ride down the river. Even though it was a very large boat it did not seem too crowded or overwhelming. The directions provided with booking confirmation were very clear on where to go and what to do. It was enjoyable treat.

A wonderful, well-organized cruise—it far exceeded our expectations. Even though it started raining heavily at one point, there was plenty of shelter for everyone. I highly recommend it.

The cruise was an exhilarating experience from the booking of the tickets to the completion of the cruise. We had only one night in Paris, and glad we spent it on this cruise. The timing was perfect—starting in the late afternoon glow and ending with the glittering lights of the Eiffel Tower. It’s a fantastic way to see the major landmarks like the Musée d'Orsay and the Louvre without the sidewalk crowds. The breeze on the deck, the gentle pace, and the iconic views made for an unforgettable evening. Its a must do for families, couples, or the solo travellers.

The highlight for me was the effortless combination of comfort and breathtaking views—gliding past iconic landmarks like the Eiffel Tower and Notre-Dame while enjoying a relaxed, well-organized journey. The ambiance was calm and immersive. Everything ran smoothly, from booking to boarding, making it a stress-free and memorable way to experience Paris. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a unique perspective of the city.

We had a fantastic experience on the Seine River cruise and would highly recommend it. The scenery along the river was beautiful, and it was amazing to cruise through Paris! We also got to see the eiffel tower sparkle at 9PM departure and 10PM when we came back. The ship was comfortable and well maintained, which made the whole trip very relaxing. Overall, it was a memorable and enjoyable cruise experience. I would recommend!

It was very picturesque, with security checks that were thorough yet quick. My friends and I chose to go at sunset, and it was absolutely beautiful. If you get on early, you can go all the way to the top and enjoy the ride. The price is fair for the ride and the time you get to spend there.

The cruise was nice, and the nighttime tour of Paris was a great experience. The problem for me was that when we got on the boat, there were no seats left on the upper deck, and it was so crowded that we couldn't really enjoy it to the fullest.

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.

Sit back and relax

Your flexible ticket allows you to board the cruise anytime you’d like within operating hours - meaning you don’t have to worry about any logistics! As you cruise down this UNESCO-listed Paris river, enjoy exhilarating moonlit views from the boat’s terrace and exterior passageways and learn about the city with live commentary via your complimentary audio guide.
