Navigating its waters, you'll traverse historic bridges integral to the city's architectural tapestry. Thanks to the multilingual audio guides and live commentary, you will also learn the historical narratives of the monuments you glide past. Read ahead for the timings, operators, and other essential details.

Things to know before booking your Seine River cruise

  • Most cruises are family-friendly. However, certain onboard experiences on an evening or themed cruise might have age restrictions. Check in advance if you are planning to travel with young children.
  • Check that the commentary is offered in a language you understand and feel comfortable with. Many cruises provide options.
  • With a tour option for every occasion, you can go on a sightseeing cruise to spot popular landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, and the Paris Pantheon if you're in the mood for a Parisian trot, or relish a delicious meal aboard a lunch or dinner cruise if an authentic French meal is something you're craving. Want more? Pick the combo tours that let you experience the best of the city on a budget, or get tickets to a hop-on-hop-off cruise for an in-depth adventure!
  • The best time to go on a Seine River cruise is ideally during the high season months of June to mid-September and mid-to-late December, with mostly clear skies making for an enjoyable boat ride. But don't worry if you can't make it then, as the shoulder season months from April to May and September to November are also magical.
  • Can't decide what time of the day you should choose for an unforgettable sail on the Seine? Book a dinner cruise if a romantic night is what's on your mind, as live music adds to the charm of the sparkling city lights. If you're planning a cute brunch with your friends and family under the European sun, then a lunch cruise is your best bet!
  • The boarding point for each operator is different, so make sure you check your ticket for the exact location. While the Bateaux Parisiens boarding is at the Eiffel Tower, Bateaux Mouches picks up guests at Pont de l’Alma.
  • Club your boat trip with landmark hopping. Do your research and go on an excursion near the boarding points closest to you to get a slice of the city's popular attractions.
  • Before booking your lunch or dinner cruises, have a look at the menu and the cuisine being offered. Choose an experience that caters to your taste and diet preferences, and any add-ons like live music or entertainment that you'd like while you're aboard the ship.

If I take a meal-based Seine River cruise, will I be able to get vegetarian food?

Yes, vegetarian options are available on meal-based Seine River cruises.

Do boats have restrooms?

Yes, Seine cruise ships are equipped with clean restrooms. Larger boats, especially those used for dining and longer cruises, often have multiple restrooms, sometimes even separate facilities for men and women. On smaller sightseeing boats, there might be a single unisex restroom.

Is the cruise wheelchair and stroller accessible?

Many boats from all the boat operators have wheelchair ramps and space for strollers. For sightseeing cruises, the primary challenge might be navigating through the crowd, especially during peak tourist seasons. The piers at the Bateaux Parisiens and the Bateaux-Mouches have disabled restrooms and an access ramp onto the boat.

Is there inside seating?

Many boats have both indoor and outdoor seating options. Open-air top decks provide the best views, as we know. Now, when it comes to inside seating, it is usually within a glass-covered area, giving you unobstructed views of the Parisian skyline and also protecting you from the elements.

Do Seine River cruises have live commentary?

Some cruises feature live guides who provide a more personalized and interactive narration, while others use pre-recorded audio guides. This commentary is generally offered in multiple languages through headphones or speakers, and helps you understand the rich history, architecture, and cultural significance of the landmarks viewed.

Can I choose my departure dock?

Tickets are generally tied to specific departure docks. But getting to the dock is fairly quick from central Paris locations. While Bateaux Parisiens depart from Eiffel Tower, Bateaux Mouches depart from Pont de l’Alma, which is at a 15 minutes walk from the Eiffel Tower.

The day at Disneyland went really well, much to the delight of my two daughters. They had a great time. It was definitely worth it. I highly recommend it!

This is my second time visiting the park. The experience was just as wonderful, but this time I was able to enjoy it even more because it was in March and the park wasn't very crowded. The lines were short, and I was able to visit almost 11 rides—everything was absolutely beautiful. It was a blast!

Once we’d bought the tickets, there was nothing left to do when we arrived on the day. The lady scanned them with her phone, gave us a wristband, and that was that. The museum—which, to me, isn’t really a museum but more like a small city amusement park—was nice, but too crowded, and I was frustrated that I couldn’t buy a miniature version of the (unfinished) puzzle that was upstairs. But it’s worth a visit.

It was our 50th wedding anniversary and you can't get a more romantic moment than a slow cruise down the Seine! Boarding was very organized and the staff were all pleasant. We found a seat in the top of the boat and were able to easily see the sights as we passed. The guide gave us small details about each location and directed us by number to an audio guide with more information about each. It was a very pleasant cruise!

I didn't like that they don't send the tickets when you buy them and that I have to download an app to view them; in the end, I went in

An amazing experience. A fast elevator takes you up to the 56th floor. A 360-degree view of Paris with all its iconic landmarks. There’s also a section on the lower level dedicated to the history of the Montparnasse Tower.

We had a wonderful time on the roof of the Montparnasse Tower—we couldn’t have asked for a better view; it was truly moving. We didn’t even want to leave. The photo spots are really nice! And everything is explained very clearly! I highly recommend it!!!!
