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.

It was absolutely amazing, Staff very accommodating, it was great that you could listen to the history on the telephone on your seat in whichever language you speak without others being distracted. Very knowledgeable, it was raining and that was no problem because inside seat we were amazing with the boating being fully glass to still see everything clearly

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.

Aboard a Bateaux Parisiens glass canopy boat, discover the magic of Paris in the evening with a 1-hour cruise along the Seine.

With a validity of 6 months from the date of purchase, this ticket gives you the flexibility to plan your holiday with ease.

The tour was ok. From 17.00 to 20.00 it is not dark in Paris. You can't call it a tour with lights. You can see more and better on a bus tour.

The crowd whooped every time we went under a bridge. That was kinda nice. The queue was long to get on, I think because everybody wants to see Paris lit up at night

We enjoyed it very much. Nice evening for a boat cruise. Not to many people. Seemed to be well organized. Would do it again.

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.
