Itinerary
Take a cruise on the Seine River, the most beautiful avenue of Paris!
Departure from the feet of the Eiffel Tower
As you approach the Pont Alexandre III, you will see the Dome des Invalides on the right side. This monument houses the tomb of Napoleon Bonaparte.
This particularly beautiful bridge was a gift to France from Tsar Alexander III. It's a wonderful experience to pass underneath this structure aboard the fully glass-enclosed boat.
This characteristic building houses the French parliament. Have a look at it while you savor the flavors of the French cuisine.
Splendid building of the famous Orsay Museum and its surrowndings
You will enjoy nice views to this famous quarter while you cruise on the Seine.
When passing under Pont Neuf, the oldest bridge of Paris, lift you head and admire the sculptures
See Notre Dame Cathedral from the river
Enjoy the specific atmosphere of this area when you pass by
The Ile Saint Louis is the heart of the historical Paris. You will have interesting views to its typical architecture from the water.
The Pont Marie is a very special bridge. If you pass under this bridge, close your eyes and make a wish. It is told that your wish will come true before next year.
The Conciergerie is a very remarkable landmark. It is the place where the King Louis XVI and the Queen Marie-Antoinette where imprisoned before they were executed.
See the Louvre, the ancient Royal Castle - one of the longest buildings in the world
From the boat, you will see the Egyptian obelisk. The Place de la Concorde used to play a big role during the time of the French revolution, as the guillotine was placed there.
Admire the amazing architecture with its glass coupole! This building hosts exceptional exhibitions and events. During the Olympic games in 2024, it hosted a part of the competitions.
The bridge between the Place de la Concorde and the Assemblée Nationale was built from stones of the Bastille prison which was destroyed after the French revolution.

This would have been a nice scenic cruise seeing the highlights of Paris on the Seine. But, a lot of kids and some older children scream under every bridge. And there are dozens of bridges! Horrible experience. Parents don’t control their kids and older ones just think it’s okay to do this. It ruins a nice cruise. Find a smaller boat that can control this but stay away from this large, hundreds of people, boat.
This river cruise offers a wonderful view of many of the beautiful buildings and bridges that Paris has to offer. It’s comfortable, not too crowded and just the right length too.
Great way to see sites, learn a little history along the way, in a relaxing, environment. Kids loved all the unique bridges.
Very organized, easy to locate and great views from every angle and the top seating area are the best.
If you want to wait in a line for up to an hour even with a ticket, then get on a crowded top deck, where you can hardly hear and even then you don’t know what side of the boat they are talking about.
80% of the audio guides do not work and the guide spent almost the entire visit on her smartphone
Pleasant I recommend , I discovered Paris from another angle c was breathtaking only one flat it was too hot and the explanations were very summary pity because the other company details better bets
Very nice cruise- just long enough to see all the main sights. We sailed right before sunset and it was beautiful. Lots of seating on upper deck, make sure to arrive in line early.
There was no noticeable air conditioning in the enclosed section and the audio couldn’t be heard in the top section. Beautiful views. Free map and audio available by phone but it ended up being more distracting than helpful.
hello excellent experience for my part I strongly recommend it to you to do at least once in your life
