I liked so much when the ship rounded the Island of Notre Dame and of course passing in front of the Eiffel Tower, it was also an uplifting feeling. What I really missed this year was that the boat didn't go to the Statue of Liberty. What I would suggest is that tourists shoud not stand up while sitting on the boat, as it is perfectly possible to take videos and photos while everybody is sitting. This would disturb the view and travel of other passengers. Anyone who wants to stand should do so at the stern of the boat. Thank you for the experience. Best regards, Monika Szuts from Hungary

There was complete chaos and mismanagement when boarding the boat, they were not enough staff supporting. I also have no idea if there was any guided tour as I heard nothing during the entirety of the cruise.

Nice ride but I purchased the tickets online and atill had to go to stay in line at the tickets desk to receive the printed tickets... in this day and age, why don't they just issue digital tickets?

It was a simple and relaxing cruise experience. Even though it was not a dinner cruise, I really enjoyed the trip. The views were beautiful, especially from the open deck, and the fresh air made the journey very pleasant. I liked taking photos and watching the city and nature from the water. The atmosphere was calm, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Everything was well organized and comfortable. It was a nice way to spend time, relax, and enjoy a peaceful moment on the river. I would definitely recommend this cruise to anyone who wants a quiet and enjoyable trip

They didn't tell us that due to the high water the boat was not going to do all the traject. We skipped Notre Dame which was one of the best views. We could have done it another day but nobody told us.
