Overview
Could anything be more romantic than a sunset cruise on the Seine, sipping champagne and taking in up-close views of the Eiffel Tower?
Your one-hour cruise sets the tone with relaxed onboard music, creating a laid-back apéritif atmosphere as you glide along the river. There’s no live commentary, but you can download the free Vedettes de Paris app for information about the monuments you’ll see on the cruise.
Otherwise, relax, raise your glass and take in the stunning views as you pass beneath world-famous bridges including the Pont Alexandre III – with its soaring arch, ornate cherubs and grand art deco lamps – and its neighbor the Pont des Invalides, the Seine’s lowest bridge.
You’ll also see some of the City of Light’s best-known landmarks, including the medieval spires and towers of gothic Notre-Dame, and the Louvre Museum, which is particularly atmospheric when lit up in the evening.
The boat’s bar is open throughout your trip, with snacks and refreshments available.

Scam
SolomonAvoid this tour! They scan your Paris Pass once when you board the cruise but they will ask to scan your pass again to get the champagne, effectively taking 2 passes. This is false and misleading advertising! They should not be advertising “included” champagne with the one pass! The only saving grace is the cruise itself as that took in the sights on the River Seine but the value of the cruise was only 19 euros which is honestly wasted by using the pass!
The worst experience ever
JuanNo champagne. You get on the boat and take a seat and they do not tell you that you must go to the bar to get your drink. I waited in line in the boat for over half of the cruise. Missing every single tourist attraction only to get to the bar and the bartender to refuse my drink!

Good value
SunnyA good experience over all. Eiffel is beautiful when seen at night.
Good value for money
NoshGood river cruise but no live music, commentary or champagne! Boat was fairly packed with few seats available
Croisière semblable aux autres
AnnieTrès agréable et permet de voir Paris sous un autre angle. Aucun enjeu à obtenir le champagne pour les adultes mais nous avons dû payer les jus des enfants. Le « musical » de la croisière est en fait un haut-parleur qui diffuse un peu de musique.
