The cruise was very enjoyable. One of the best features of the service is that you can use your ticket from 5:00 PM to 10:30 PM during spring and summer—it’s very flexible, which is convenient since Paris is a big city and schedules can vary. The food at the bar was excellent. The trip was phenomenal; you can see Paris’s main attractions from the boat, as well as all the beautiful floating bars and restaurants on the Seine, which are full of friendly people who greet you all the time. A great experience!

I really enjoyed the experience 🥰. At first, I was annoyed that my booking time was set by the app instead of me, but I ended up arriving late and was able to board the available boat. The customer service was very good, and the cruise and comfort were excellent.

Do it after sunset. The buildings and the bridge are all lit up. It was really hot, and it was amazing to see all the people along the Seine singing, dancing, and having a drink... The only downside: the wait to board. There were tons of people. At least a 45-minute line.

Our first night in Paris and we wanted to see the wonderful locations that we would be visiting. The tour was everything and more !!! Easy to find, friendly employees, comfortable seating on the top of the boat, seating underneath just in case you were cold! Perfect !!!

It's a really lovely experience, highly recommended for anyone visiting Paris who doesn't have much time to explore. I'd read reviews about long lines and wait times, but personally, getting in was faster than I expected :)

This was my first time in Paris. I came with 6 family members and was nominated to book the excursions. This was by far the best as we got to see all of the beautiful sights of Paris lit up along the Sienne!! Thank you!!

It was freezing inside. I had to get a blanket. Server pushed champagne and i don't drink. Brought drink i didn't want and was shocked that i didn't drink it at the end. I have a gluten sensitivity and my husband doesn't eat fish. We couldn't eat the appetizer. So she brought nuts but it was just peanuts. Too loud. People talking, singer was amazing but too loud. You need more food allergy alternative foods

The river was relaxing. It took us a minute to find the location along the river because we were dropped off too far which wasnt the tours fault but when we got there we didnt know the number to go to and had to ask questions to find the tour. The biggest issue for 3 rating was the tower didnt light up and it was 9pm so the whole reason for buying the tour was pointless money wasted.

It was a really nice and relaxing way to see some of Paris' monuments. There was some waiting time in line on land, and more waiting on the boat before departure, but the weather was good, so it didn't matter too much. We sat on the open deck. There isn't much comfort (no cushions), but it’s fine. At times, it was challenging to hear what was being said over the microphone.

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.
