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

Lovely trip, good commentary, plenty of sights seen. The only reason I havent given 5 stars is because I would have loved to have turned around sooner and also gone the other way past the Eiffel Tower to see Paris' Statue of Liberty.

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.

The boat is comfortable. You can go outdoors or indoors. The view is very nice. The flexibility of the schedule comes in handy.

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.
