I wanted to explore Paris by boat, and while looking on my phone, I found this Paris Illuminated Evening Sightseeing Cruise. After reading the reviews, I decided to book it, and I’m so glad I did. Making the reservation through the app was very easy. Once we arrived, we didn’t have to wait long in the queue, and the boat departed exactly on time. The instructions were very clear and easy to follow. It was also great that we could easily follow the route on the boat, just as it had been shown beforehand. The English-speaking guide was excellent, with very clear and fluent English. Luckily, the weather was absolutely beautiful, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The views of Paris from the Seine were simply magnificent, especially in the evening. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and definitely one of the highlights of our time in Paris. I enjoyed it so much that I immediately shared the link with three of my friends and recommended it to them as well. Highly recommended!

I have seen many bridges featuring ancient yet exquisitely intricate architecture—designs unlike anything else in the world. I was also fortunate enough to see the brilliantly pink Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe, standing majestic and imposing after all these years. What stood out most was how polite and friendly the French people were.

The guide gave commentary in different languages for everyone, which made it very comfortable and great! Paris at night is spectacular, and your service is incredible!! Thank you for such a magnificent experience!

There is nothing quite like cruising the Seine to start off a trip in Paris. From buying the tickets to sitting on the boat everything was simple and easy to follow. Everyone on the dock was helpful and made sure we were in the right place. We had a great time

Nice flexibility on time, got to see the Eiffel Tower twinkle on the night cruise. VERY crowded but that's okay, worth the views. Would do again especially for the price. Paris should be seen from the water.

We loved the tour, it was very beautiful, and we got to appreciate sights we hadn't been able to visit yet, like Notre-Dame Cathedral. We arrived at the station already taking in the illuminated Eiffel Tower, and just 5 minutes later its sparkling started. Inside the boat, the audio guide was very good.

A beautiful experience and highly recommended. Seeing Paris illuminated from the Seine River offers a completely different perspective of the city. The Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame, and the other monuments look spectacular at night. The one-hour tour is the perfect length; it was peaceful, pleasant, and very well-organized. Without a doubt, one of the most beautiful moments of my visit to Paris. 🌙✨🇫🇷

Paris is a wonderful city; contrary to opinions that it is dangerous, seeing it during an evening cruise completed its wonderful charm. Cruising in the evening allowed us to see Paris through the prism of its night colors and magnificent light illuminations. I recommend it to everyone who wants to see Paris differently from the deck of a super boat which is electrically powered and, consequently, does not harm the environment.

i enjoyed the sightseeing and the man explaining everything was very helpful as they used multiple languages so everyone understood. the music was very soothing, adding to the calm and delightful evening. One thing i would do differently is to get there early as seats fill up fast which left us sitting inside.

Without a doubt, what I enjoyed most was being able to enjoy this pleasant and beautiful walk with my family, also accompanied by an audio guide in perfect Spanish. A highly recommended experience for everyone of all ages!

Beautiful! My first time in Paris, and saving the night tour to end the evening was the best 😍, I'll be back. Keep in mind that if you want to make good videos, you should choose the seats on the sides, but it was still fabulous!

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.
