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

Excellent service. A bit cold due to the current weather although there was heating on the second floor. Surely in summer it is a hit to be able to enjoy it outdoors.

The actual experience was good, and we were so glad we'd done it. The guide was clear and we knew what monuments we were looking at. The issue came when lots of people on the top deck of the boat were standing up, standing in front of us and really obstructing our view - so much so that several people were annoyed and kept having to ask those standing to move out of the way. A staff member really should have been on board the top deck to ensure people were abiding by the rules that were clearly given on the way to the boat and on it.

I really enjoyed the service and being able to enjoy the city on the boat and I recommend the experience at night. Everything was great!

The cruise was very nice but because they allow so many people on the cruise there isn't enough seating for everyone which cause the people who are the last on board to work their way to standing in front of others who have seats which can get a bit nasty.

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.
