Good directions to bost! Cruise was excellent. Nice boat, great viewing area and good speed! We saw amazing key attractions. Breakfast was a disappointment- no sit down but takeaway - orange juice,coffee and a croissant. Anyway cruise made up for this but in future, please be expliciit as to what's being offered.

Booking the tickets were straight forward, the fact you had to collect the macaroons yourself from a particular shop could have been made clearer, saying that, the shop was even to find and the staff was aware of the situation. The meet-up of location stated Bay 3, there was a bay 3.1 and 3.2 - specifying which exact bay would have avoided any confusion. The staff at the location were extremely friendly and helpful, the cruise itself was good. The audio guide was very useful, I would definitely do this cruise again. Great work.

Ticketing online was easy. The cruise was great! I loved that all the seats were outward-facing so you (almost) never had to look over people. We did the dusk cruise in March and got the best of both worlds by seeing Paris in the daylight and lit up in the dark, too. Would have loved a bit more info on the bridges and a bit more time to take pics (Pont Alexandre, especially), but overall, would definitely do again!

    What I enjoyed the most was the views and the boat. It's the second time I did the experience with bateaux parisiens this year. Good.
  • Sightseeing along the Seine

    Ready for a delightful Parisian escapade? Head to Port de la Bourdonnais, right under the Eiffel Tower, and hop aboard a flexible one-hour Seine River cruise. Forget the fuss – you can board whenever you fancy throughout the day as the cruise departs every 1 hour. As the boat leisurely cruises down the Seine, you'll catch sight of Paris's coolest spots. We're talking about the fancy Assemblee Nationale, the artsy Musee d'Orsay, the classy Institut de France, the Pantheon, the chic Cite de la Mode, Hotel de Ville, Notre Dame, and the Conciergerie. Sail under the arches of the oldest bridge, Pont Neuf, and wave to the regal Pont Alexandre III, named after a Russian tsar.

    Onboard amenities

    Secure a position on the terrace to indulge in exceptional panoramic views, and concurrently, avail yourself of the onboard Wi-Fi connectivity. Additionally, do not overlook the multilingual audio guide in 11 languages. So, jump on board, soak in the sights, and let the Seine show you the best of Paris.
