Es un experiencia muy linda, recomendada para todo aquel que vaya a Paris, y que no tenga mucho tiempo para recorrer. Había leído comentarios sobre largas filas y espera, pero en lo personal, la entrada fue más rápida de lo que esperaba :)

I booked a Seine River cruise through Headout and had a great experience overall. The booking was quick and easy with instant mobile tickets, and boarding was smooth. The cruise offered beautiful views of Paris landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, Louvre, and Notre-Dame, especially at sunset/evening when the city looks amazing from the water. It was a bit crowded, so getting a good spot on the upper deck required arriving early. Overall, it’s a simple and memorable way to see Paris from a different perspective and worth doing for first-time visitors.

We booked the river cruise from the evening which we could board from 5pm onwards. We went along for the 7pm cruise which was beautiful! There was a bit of confusion as to where to queue but staff were helpful and it didn't take long to board. The sights were incredible and information about all the sights was given throughout. The tour took an hour which was a great amount of time to see all main attractions in Paris. Would highly recommend :)

I had just arrived in Paris for the very first time, and the Seine cruise was the first tourist activity on my list. I truly couldn’t have made a better choice. Discovering Paris from the boat was magical and unforgettable. Watching the scenery unfold along the Seine as the boat moved through the city felt beautiful and poetic. Without a doubt, it was one of the most beautiful moments of my trip to Paris.

This was such a good experience, it was easy paying, receiving and using the tickets. Amazing views they take you past some of the most famous landmarks, there was plenty of space, everyone could see and gave an amazing view of the eiffel tower. They also offered audio guides for those interested. Amaizijg experience would do it again and again.

Wow what a wonderful experience! The staff were so kind and accommodating to me and my family. The weather was perfect for an evening cruise and we got to see the Eiffel Tower light up at the end of the cruise too. We sat on the top deck and I felt like the music wasn't too loud or distracting..everything was just right! I highly recommend.

A great scenic route of all the sights along the river

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.
