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 specifically asked if we could have a glass of champagne on board boat and was told yes… My daughters were very disappointed there was none to purchase on board nor in shop at dock , and the bathroom situation was very strange downstairs with unisex for both, though one clearly had urinals for men.

Boarding was smooth and guide was knowledgeable. We did not like the fact that vending machines onboard were practically empty. It was cold outside and the inner lights reflection would not let us take good pictures.

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.
