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 Seine cruise felt quietly magical, especially as we approached the bell tower of Notre-Dame. When we drifted beneath it, a deep metallic toll echoed over the water, vibrating through the boat and lingering long after each strike. I remember everyone instinctively falling silent, listening to the sound ripple across the riverbanks. Strangely, the audio guide barely spoke at all, almost nonexistent, which made the moment better; without narration, the cathedral itself became the storyteller and the bells narrated Paris.

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!

We're a group of 4 reaching paris at 1600hrs and immediately after settling things in the room we headed out to eiffel tower. On the way it, we booked 1hour cruise ride on the headout app which was pretty straight and easy. And within no time we were inside the cruise seeing the beauty of the illuminated paris for the first time. A memory to cheerish. Thanks to headout.

The Cruise was absolutely stunning. Breathtaking views of the Eiffel Tower, Orsay, Notre Dame and many more famous buildings and monuments. The guide spoke in four languages which was very practical for non french speakers. Would definitely go again!

It's an incredible experience. The cruise is very peaceful and enjoyable. The views of every corner of Paris are the most spectacular part of the trip, especially at the end with the Eiffel Tower lit up. The views are amazing!

A beautiful cruise, taken at sunset so we could see the city as it changed color. You can stay inside or on the boat's terrace. There are descriptions of the places in different languages. I recommend experiencing this.

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!
