Yeah , it was a very memorable , fun, joyous trip cruising from Eiffel tower to several monuments, cathedrals, museums, etc located all around the banks of River Sienne and coming back to the Sparkling Eiffel tower. Best part was it started with the pleasant evening time and ended with the first sparkle of Eiffel tower ! Totally worth it !

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.

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.

The cruise was a great way to see major attractions and its even better at sunset/night. It was a great way to end our stay. The only troublesome part is the queue. There are no time slots so you can show up at any time. Sunset/ night rides are the most popular. We got in line around 9:30 and didn't get on until 11pm. If boarding system was set up better, I would give it a five stars.

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.

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.
