You will sail past the Louvre Museum. One of the most visited museums in the world with 35,000 works including the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo, the Louvre is a treasure trove of history and art, housed in the former royal palace. Its classical facade runs along the Seine, while the Glass Pyramid contrasts with its ancient architecture. This unique place invites you to travel through ancient civilizations.

Ride beautiful, boat nice, captain not friendly

The boat and operation was smooth and we enjoyed the ride and the sights. Unfortunately our captain was not very friendly and insisted on blasting the music so loud the whole time that it was difficult to talk. I got the impression he didn’t want to answer any questions so that was his way of suppressing conversation.

Operator response

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback Lisa. We're glad you enjoyed the boat, the cruise, and the views of Paris. We're sorry to hear that your experience with the captain didn't meet your expectations, as this is not the level of service we strive to provide. If you could let us know the date and time of your cruise, we'd be able to identify the captain and better understand what happened.

Sunset cruise on the Seine 🩷

We are an inter-generational group of friends, back in Paris after a trip together 15 years ago. We wanted to do things we had not done before and that included a cruise on the Seine. An article in the NYT by Lindsey Tramuta pointed us to Green River Cruises and we booked a private cruise on a pontoon boat to the Eiffel Tower and back. It was great fun. Lots of sites to see from a different vantage point on the way out, and on the way back we hooked up the playlist to the boat’s speakers and enjoyed the evening.

Operator response

Thank you for choosing to create new memories with us after 15 years! Seeing Paris from the Seine, sharing music, and enjoying the evening together is exactly the kind of experience we hope to create. We’d be delighted to welcome your group back for another adventure on the river!

Stop waiting book it

Jeff was polite, hospitable, knowledgeable, and engaging. For the various generations of family that was on the boat he maintained a great level of being host and guide. Jeff was quiet and reserved as well. This allowed for our family connection to take place. It is with great joy that we recommend that others are reserve this tremendous experience. Great work, Jeff.

Operator response

Thank you for taking the time to write this. It sounds like Jeff struck exactly the right balance, and that's something we really value. We're so glad your family enjoyed the experience, and we'll happily pass on your kind words to him. Hope to see you soon on board!

Sunset Cruise at the End of a Glorious Day in Paris

Our captain Etienne was very informative and courteous. It was a pleasant ride vs. the larger river boats we have taken in past. Only issues were the Bluetooth audio system volume was weak and couldn’t be regulated, and the pickup/dropoff location was a bit remote.

Operator response

Thank you for your feedback Eli! We’re glad you enjoyed the ride with Captain Étienne. We also appreciate your note regarding the audio system and the pickup location, your comments help us improve. We hope to welcome you again for another cruise in Paris!

Perfection

This was the best thing we did in Paris! It was perfect for my sisters hen do. A gorgeous private boat, with plenty of space and shade if needed, fantastic sights and the perfect way to enjoy the mid May sun. Sebastian was so accommodating of us arriving at the wrong pick up point, and picked us up from where we were and didn’t dock any time. Will always look to book this when I’m in Paris now.

Operator response

A hen do on the Seine sounds like a pretty perfect Paris memory! We’re really happy you enjoyed the experience overall. Sebastian will be glad to know he could sort everything out smoothly for you. Thank you for sharing this lovely review, we’d love to welcome you again in Paris!

Wonderful Seine river cruise with stunning Eiffel Tower views.

We had an amazing boat trip with Green River Cruises along the Seine. The luxury boat was excellent, and enjoying views of the Eiffel Tower whilst drinking champagne made the experience even more special. A stunning way for a group of nine friends to celebrate a birthday! Captain César was fantastic — professional, friendly, and made the trip unforgettable. Communication with the company was brilliant from start to finish. Would not hesitate to recommend this experience to anyone visiting Paris!

Operator response

Dear Karen, Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re delighted you had a memorable birthday cruise with us! We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Captain César and all the team. Hope to welcome you back on board soon!
