Book your Seine River Cruise night and day in Paris
Taking a cruise on the Seine means treating yourself to a magical and timeless moment. A Paris boat tour is another way to discover the capital and to enjoy incredible views of the capital’s most beautiful monuments far from the hustle and bustle of its streets. Book right now your tickets for your tours on boats and explore the city in a different way.
The best cruises to visit the capital
The Batobus (a play on words: bateau meaning boat, and bus) is a great way to hop around town from one site to another. With an unlimited pass (validity 1-3 days), you’ll be able to freely explore Paris at your own leisure -- and pace! In tandem with the ebb and flow of the Seine and comfortably installed, you will be able to appreciate views of famous bridges and great monuments that pass before your eyes one after the other along the Seine’s banks: the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame Cathedral, the Louvre and the Musée d’Orsay to name just a few.
Another interesting option is to reserve lunch aboard a boat-restaurant or a gastronomic Paris dinner cruise on the Seine. You’ll be able to see the city set ablaze at sunset, its monuments lighting up as nightfall descends. Not a bad idea if you’re looking for a romantic night out or an unusual outing among family or friends! Another option is to take a boat trip along the Seine with Bateaux Parisiens.
With Paris City Vision, a private nighttime cruise on the Seine with a tour guide is also possible. With the City of Lights aglow and its most striking monuments lit up, Paris is unequivocally stunning at night. The boat tours are truly unforgettable moments for tourists discovering the capital and even for Parisians out for an original night in town.

Different River Boat Tours on the Seine

Paris at all hours
A guided river boat tour on the Seine takes tourists past several bridges, islands and monuments. Their history is recounted throughout the tour, bringing Paris and the history of France to life. You’ll learn about the Zouave statue (“zouave” meaning French soldiers in North African regiments) on the Alma Bridge and why Pont-Neuf doesn’t quite live up to its name!
Enjoying a Meal on the Seine
It’s unthinkable to visit France and Paris without a traditional meal, even a gastronomic one! What’s more enjoyable than an amazing meal in a unique setting with a wait staff whose sole mission is to make sure you have a wonderful time?
This type of activity is ideal for a romantic trip, perfect to have a good time with family and friends!
Enjoy the Seine, Discover Paris
It’s true that when visiting Paris by boat one could feel frustrated just passing by site after site. That’s why there are different offers, for both lunch and dinner, to enjoy a meal on a péniche, or barge, that can be coupled with a show at the Lido or Moulin Rouge or a trip to the Eiffel Tower. To ensure your comfort, shuttles are provided and included.
The river boat menus include gastronomic meals but also vegetarian ones with the majority of companies. It’s recommended to read up on the tours as some restaurants require formal attire.
Another option is visiting Paris in a bâteau-mouche, or a river boat, which is a classic and one of the best ways to get a unique perspective on the city. Don’t hesitate to reserve a candlelit dinner.
