It was a very nice experience because from the boat you could see the Eiffel Tower perfectly, as well as other important buildings and monuments of the city. It was very comfortable to be on both sides of the boat, both inside and outside, since from the outside you could see the whole city beautifully, and if it was too cold we could get in for a while. I imagine that in more touristy months the boat gets completely full, but at this time of year there were not so many people and we were able to enjoy the whole experience!

It exceeded our expectations. The images of the upper pavilion are spectacular, but we were with children and the comfort inside was very cozy. And there are also headphones that tell the story of each monument you see along the way. I would definitely do it again. There's also the super attentive staff who welcomed us with great friendliness, everyone is to be congratulated. I highly recommend it.

It was a wonderful night to enjoy a sightseeing cruise along the Seine River in Paris. The view from the boat was breathtaking, especially when passing by the Eiffel Tower. Many buildings were beautifully illuminated, creating a romantic and magical atmosphere. When the Eiffel Tower began to shine, it looked as if it had a special filter, glowing like a diamond in the night sky.

this was a great way for me to see all of the main landmarks in Paris. Even though it was raining, it was still a very enjoyable experience, and the lower deck was very warm. I would definitely recommend this.

Love it just a little pack when it's gets dark. Over all a great experience. Would recommend going a little early to get boat with less people

Seeing Paris from a different view was what I liked about the river cruise.

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.
