    We loved the tour, Paris is a beautiful city and the difference in other boats that teach the city is that it is super well explained both by the phone that you provide to hear the history of the city, as the girl who said it in 4 languages. We will repeat !!!!

    The River Seine Sunset Cruise was an unforgettable experience! We timed our cruise just before sunset, and the views of Paris as the city lights began to twinkle were absolutely breathtaking. Even in January, the beauty of the illuminated landmarks made it totally worth braving the cold—just be sure to layer up! Whether it's your first time in Paris or a return visit, I highly recommend this cruise for a magical and relaxing way to see the city. I loved it so much I would definitely do it again!

    I loved the experience, maybe in the cold season they could offer warm sheets because it becomes a little unbearable....

    The boat was amazing and plenty of views available. Sadly the weather was really bad but that's not connected to the boat trip! Would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting France.

    Everything was great! The boarding, the tour, the explanations.... The only negative (and it is not the fault of the organization) the lack of education and empathy of some (not few) customers, who did not stop shouting at every bridge. Otherwise, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

  • 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.
