The experience was nice, see the city from another angle, the tickets can be used at the time you want, the boat leaves every hour, it does not have to be specifically at the time purchased, keep in mind that as in Paris it gets dark late, you will not really see the city illuminated until it is not more than 9, so keep this in mind, otherwise everything excellent.

The actual illuminated sites. Audio was hard to hear upstairs outside especially if other kids are screaming. Limited seating options poses overcrowding upstairs and doesn't leave room to "move around" (while being safe) in order to capture different sites and pictures appropriately.

The queue was quite long but it worked out well for it being darker by time we got to the cruise, so every where was lit up . It was amazing seeing Eifle tower all lit up became quite chilly coming back if sit on top but just take a coat or move to the indoor hour .This was one of the best things we booked and good value for money would definitely recommend doing this .

The guide stopped the tour half way through as he was upset with some people in the group. Not us, so we missed out because of them

We loved going down the ricer and seeing all the sights . If gave a different view than just walking the sights . Ticketing was easy and simple from my phone.

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.

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!
