My wife Myrna and I had a wonderful evening cruising down the Seine River. The service we received exceeded our expectations; the booking process was simple and secure, and the boarding area was very spacious. Although it initially looked like a large crowd was forming, the crew’s coordination and the speed of boarding were very efficient. Thank you for the friendly service!

We got a spot on the top deck, and it’s beautiful. The cruise moves at just the right speed, with commentary in several languages describing what you’re seeing. Right around the bend, we got to see the Eiffel Tower lit up, just as the white lights started flashing. The lines were manageable, the organization was great, and it’s definitely an experience you can’t miss if you’re visiting Paris.

It was amazing! I just wish there were more details when you purchased the tickets because any price of the ticket would have gotten you anytime on the boat. We did not see the mission because we decided to get on the boat at 7 PM. However, it was great. It wasn't too crowded and it was very small. Highly recommend to get the entire view and feel of Paris.

Seeing the Eiffel Tower sparkle at night on the cruise was magical. We got to the boarding area around 9:30pm and the line was INSANELY long, but did keep moving and we were able to get on one of the last boats of the night (after we were in line for a little over an hour). We got on an 11:00 cruise. Worth the wait!

Tons of people lined up for our cruise, but the line moved quickly and we had no issues with boarding. Timed things perfectly to catch the sunset over the Seine, including a lovely view of the Eiffel Tower as we were departing. Great evening for a ride and loved seeing the city life on a Saturday evening.

The ship departed on time and was easy to find. We didn't have meals included. The atmosphere was great, and the weather was also at its best.

Thank you so much for the wonderful tour last night. Even though it was raining a little, we were able to take some great photos. The hour just flew by.

Once we got on the boat, the cruise itself was fine and was as advertised. Finding the meeting point was very confusing, not easy to find which boat or # dock. Once we located it, the line was LONG but moved along pretty well, we probably waited for about 45-50 minutes or so before boarding. I guess everyone in line had "skip the line" tickets. So all in all, took about 2/2.5 hours. Overall good value and got to see the sites in the evening which was nice.

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.
