Honestly, everything was great—very well organized, easy to get in, and the cruise was magnificent. I hope I can do it again sometime, since this time I wasn't really in the right frame of mind—I'm from Pereira, where the earthquake tragedy took place.

The cruise was great! My daughter and I went on the cruise together in the evening, close to sunset. There is a podcast you can download for free for additional details about the things you see on the cruise, but the on-board commentary was fine. They said things in French, English, and Spanish. Overall, the cruise was great. Very informative and you get to see Paris in a way that is unique.

The tour was excellent! My family really enjoyed it; even when the sun was beating down, the air conditioning inside the boat was great, and outside, the cool breeze made the high temperature quite bearable. The tour gives you a great view of the monuments, and there’s also plenty of time to enjoy Paris from the Seine… it was a wonderful experience!

It’s an amazing cruise where you can admire the magnificent buildings along the Seine River from a whole new perspective. Absolutely worth it.

We had a group of twenty, young & old everyone had a good time. , the cruise was perfect, long enough to entertain, but not so long as to drag on. The boat was clean and well maintained. The check-in area was easy to find, check-in was seamless.

We came from US and it was a last minute trip so we wanted to make the best of our trip. This cruise allowed us to relax with my family and enjoy our first night in Paris in a beautiful way. I'm so grateful we chose to do this experience.

A late-afternoon cruise for a mother and daughter. The boarding location was very easy to get to. Well-organized, with great music on board and informative commentary on the landmarks as we passed them.

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.
