Frequently asked questions about the Bateaux Parisiens river cruise

Is the Bateaux Parisiens cruise family-friendly?

Absolutely! The sightseeing cruises are great for families, and children are welcome on meal cruises too, with special kids’ menus available.

Are there vegetarian meal options?

Yes, both vegetarian menus are available during a lunch or dinner cruise.

What if it rains? Will the cruise still operate?

Yes, the cruises operate rain or shine. The boats have covered seating areas, ensuring you stay comfortable in all weather.

What’s the difference between Bateaux Parisiens and Bateaux Mouches?

Both offer Seine River cruises, but Bateaux Parisiens departs closer to the Eiffel Tower and is known for its high-end dining experience, while Bateaux Mouches is more traditional with larger boats.

Can I take the cruise without a meal during a lunch or dinner cruise?

No—lunch and dinner cruises are package-based, and all seats include a meal. If you just want the views, a sightseeing cruise is your best option.

How early should we arrive before departure to secure window seats?

If your ticket doesn’t guarantee a window seat, arriving at least 45 minutes before departure increases your chances of getting one. Premium tickets often include priority seating.

If I book a 2-hour cruise, can I extend onboard if seats are available?

Unfortunately, no. The cruises run on a fixed schedule, and onboard extensions are not possible. If you want a longer experience, book a 2.5-hour Dinner Cruise instead.

Are last-minute seats available at the dock, or must all tickets be pre-booked?

A limited number of tickets may be available for same-day purchase, but dining cruises almost always sell out, so booking in advance is recommended.

What’s the best side of the boat for photos?

For day cruises, both sides offer great views. But for evening cruises, the left side (port side) provides better angles of illuminated landmarks.

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!

Very well explained. Although the tour was in English, the guide (Martín) also provided brief summaries in other languages since we were a diverse group. Highly recommended. Thank you for the anecdotes and interesting facts that made the tour so enjoyable.

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!

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!!!!
