We booked the river cruise from the evening which we could board from 5pm onwards. We went along for the 7pm cruise which was beautiful! There was a bit of confusion as to where to queue but staff were helpful and it didn't take long to board. The sights were incredible and information about all the sights was given throughout. The tour took an hour which was a great amount of time to see all main attractions in Paris. Would highly recommend :)

It was very picturesque, with security checks that were thorough yet quick. My friends and I chose to go at sunset, and it was absolutely beautiful. If you get on early, you can go all the way to the top and enjoy the ride. The price is fair for the ride and the time you get to spend there.

It was lovely taking a laid back ride down the river. Even though it was a very large boat it did not seem too crowded or overwhelming. The directions provided with booking confirmation were very clear on where to go and what to do. It was enjoyable treat.

It was raining heavily the day we took the tour, but we were still able to enjoy the cruise from a different perspective. The boat is clean, comfortable, and heated. There are restrooms and audio guides available in several languages. Highly recommended.

Organized, relaxing, beautiful sights. Perfect way to see Paris with my mother who has a hard time walking. This was my third cruise with Bateaux Parisien and I've loved it every time. Highly recommend!

The Seine River cruise is a must in Paris—relaxing, romantic, and the best way to see the city’s iconic views in one ride. ✨

A very pleasant cruise on the Seine, passing by many beautiful sights. It was a shame, however, that the audio guide didn’t work in the lower deck of the ship, so I’m deducting one star. Otherwise, we really enjoyed the cruise, especially at dusk and as night fell.

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.
