Itinerary
As your Seine river cruise glides gently along the water, one of the most striking landmarks you’ll pass is the magnificent Musée d'Orsay. Housed in a former Beaux-Arts railway station built for the 1900 World’s Fair, the museum stands proudly on the Left Bank, its grand façade reflecting beautifully in the river.
As your boat cruises along the Seine, you’ll pass one of Paris’s most iconic landmarks, the Louvre. Stretching elegantly along the Right Bank, the Louvre’s vast and ornate façade is a breathtaking sight from the water. Originally a royal palace, its architecture reflects centuries of French history, from medieval fortifications to classical grandeur.
As you sail past the heart of Paris, the grand expanse of Place de la Concorde comes into view. Located at the eastern end of the Champs-Élysées, this historic square is one of the city's most impressive open spaces. From the Seine, you can see its elegant layout, framed by classical buildings, fountains, and the towering Luxor Obelisk, a 3,300-year-old gift from Egypt that rises proudly at the center.
As your cruise continues along the Seine, the shimmering glass and steel dome of the Grand Palais comes into view. Nestled between the Champs-Élysées and the riverbank, this monumental structure is a masterpiece of Beaux-Arts architecture, built for the 1900 Exposition Universelle.
No Seine river cruise is complete without the breathtaking moment when the Eiffel Tower comes into view. Rising gracefully above the city, this iconic iron structure stands as the ultimate symbol of Paris. Designed by Gustave Eiffel and completed in 1889 for the World’s Fair, the tower remains a marvel of engineering and elegance.
As your boat approaches the Eiffel Tower, you’ll pass beneath the elegant Pont d’Iéna, one of Paris’s most iconic bridges. Commissioned by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1807 to commemorate his victory at the Battle of Jena, the bridge connects the Left Bank’s Champ de Mars with the Trocadéro Gardens on the Right Bank.
As your cruise winds its way down the Seine, you’ll spot a surprising and familiar figure—the Statue of Liberty. Standing proudly on the Île aux Cygnes, this smaller replica of New York’s famous monument is a symbol of the historic friendship between France and the United States.
As your boat glides past the Eiffel Tower, look across the Seine to the hilltop terraces of the Trocadéro. Set on the Right Bank, this elegant area offers one of the most iconic viewpoints in Paris. The centerpiece is the Palais de Chaillot, with its sweeping wings and grand columns framing the Eiffel Tower perfectly.
As your boat sails past the Île de la Cité, the striking silhouette of the Conciergerie comes into view—one of Paris’s most impressive medieval landmarks. With its pointed towers, arched windows, and stone façade rising directly from the riverbank, it’s a powerful reminder of the city’s royal and revolutionary past.
As your boat glides past the Île de la Cité, the magnificent Notre-Dame Cathedral stands proudly restored, once again dominating the Paris skyline. After years of careful reconstruction, its iconic spire, towers, and flying buttresses are fully revealed in their former glory.

At 4:09 PM, we received the notification that the event (starting at 6:45 PM) was canceled due to weather conditions!!!! The weather-related situation had been known for days.
Dear Liane, Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately, due to air conditioning issues, we have had to cancel the cruises in order to resolve the problem. We are committed to providing a high-quality service to our customers, and for that reason we have been forced to make this decision because of the severe heat wave currently affecting Paris. Therefore, unless any unforeseen issues arise, all cruises are canceled until tomorrow. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused. We invite you to contact our customer service team, providing your name and reservation date, so that we can offer you an alternative option tailored to your needs. We hope to welcome you soon.

We had a memorable evening cruising down the Seine. The trip was leisurely and we had fantastic views of the Eiffel Tower lit up at the end (we did the later evening cruise in June that left at 9:15pm). The food was very good and the service friendly and helpful. Having the pay for wine separately meant that we could chose what we wanted, but we also had 2 glasses of champagne each. We selected this cruise as there was a guaranteed window seat, which was very good. But it seemed quite expensive overall, and I think you could see well from an inside seat if you weren't taking many photos.
Dear Steve, Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We're so pleased to hear that you had a memorable evening on the Seine! It's wonderful to know that the timing of the cruise worked out beautifully, with those iconic views of the Eiffel Tower lit up against the evening sky. We're also glad that you enjoyed the food and found our team to be friendly and attentive throughout the evening. We appreciate your honest feedback regarding the pricing and the window seat option. Your perspective is helpful, and we will certainly take it into consideration as we continue to evaluate the value we offer to our travelers.

Dear traveler, Thank you very much for your comment! We are so glad to hear you thoroughly enjoyed your dinner cruise on the Seine! We look forward to welcoming you again in the future! Kind regards, Extime Travel (formerly Paris City Vision)
As this was our first night in Paris, and we had been travelling all day long to get there, it was a perfect ride seeing the sights from the boat and being served dinner. It was raining so the covered boat was excellent way to see everything without getting wet!! I would definitely do it again, we enjoyed it and the music, the sights, and the ambiance.
Dear traveler, Thank you very much for your comment. We are pleased to know that, despite the fatigue from the journey and the rain, you enjoyed the dinner and the views from the boat, as well as the atmosphere, the music, and the service. We hope to see you again soon. Kind regards, Extime Travel (formerly Paris City Vision)
It was a nice cruise to see the sights. The food was just ok. The Wait staff was attentive and helpful.
Dear Angie, Thank you very much for your comment. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the cruise and the sights along the way. We also appreciate your recognition of our service team. We take note of your comment regarding the food, as it helps us continue improving the experience. Kind regards, Extime Travel (formerly Paris City Vision)
I would give the ride itself a 5 out of 5 especially when it got dark and you could see the Eiffel Tower all lit up. We had very good seats near the front of the boat. The dinner definitely was just a 3 out of 5 my husband and I both chose the steak, which we had to pay extra for, we were fine with that but the cut was very tough. The appetizer was okay and the dessert was good. I had the Eiffel Tower made of chocolate and my husband had the crème brûlée. Not the company’s fault but we had a couple having an argument at the table next to us which was pretty heated (ha, some romantic dinner). It kind of spoiled it for us as we couldn’t help over hearing it as they were seated so close. I think it was still worth doing I just would have picked the chicken instead of the beef. Not sure if it was better though. I see that there were other companies doing it too. I think some were more formal than ours, maybe a better meal?? Do your research to see. We had our TA book it. Another thing that wasn’t great is there are no taxis at the docking area. We took a taxi to get there but to go home you couldn’t get a regular taxi. They have these bicycle type ones but the cruise lines warned us only to take a certain one I think they were blue in colour because the white ones would rip you off but when we got off the boat there were no blue ones to be found, just the white ones. We ended up walking to where there were hotels and got a taxi from there. Maybe look into the transportation part ahead of time.
Dear Janis, Thank you very much for your comment. We are glad to know that, in general, you enjoyed the experience. Regarding the meat, the product description states that there is an additional charge for the meat; however, we take note of the condition of the meat. It is very kind of you to share the rest of the tips, as we are sure it helps other travelers. We hope to see you again soon. Kind regards, Extime Travel (formerly Paris City Vision)
My experience was wonderful. The food was great, the atmosphere was fun, and the tour was just the right amount of time.
Dear Tyla, Thank you very much for your comment. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the experience, especially the food, the atmosphere, and the duration of the tour. We hope to welcome you again very soon. Kind regards, Extime Travel (formerly Paris City Vision)
Great window seats and view. Table water was not included in the price. There was only one glass of champagne provided and the early dinner cruise had only one entree and one dessert choice - the later dinner cruise has options. The food was delicious and the service very good. The singer was excellent and we enjoyed having music whilst dining.

We are sorry that some details, such as the menu options and included drinks, did not fully meet your expectations. We truly appreciate your feedback, which helps us continue improving. We hope to welcome you again soon for an even better experience. Kind regards, Extime Travel (formerly Paris City Vision)
