Additional Information

In 1949, Jean Bruel pioneered the concept of “Bateaux-Mouches®”, bringing a fresh attraction to the Seine and establishing the era of river sightseeing in Paris. Seven decades later, this tradition lives on: embark on a Seine cruise and marvel at the Parisian landmarks while savoring a delectable dinner! Sail down the river and observe the City of Light from a unique perspective. Sit back and soak up the view as the renowned sights of the city appear before you. The expansive windows offer an optimal sightseeing experience as you are served a three-course culinary delight.

A night-time journey of nearly three hours presents the opportunity to observe Paris from its most splendid thoroughfare. The illuminated structures present a stunning setting, against which a three-course feast is served, supplemented with an aperitif and a wine of your selection. Opt for the Excellence menu and fully relish the splendor of this magnificent city under the stars.

Every cruise also includes live musical entertainment to enrich your Parisian dining affair.

A great experience - Our 5th time and as good as the first. Only regret is that dress codes have slipped. In the summer it might be an idea to start 30 minutes later so that more of the lights come on.

Fantastic Dinner cruise on the Seine - This was by far the most memorable excursion of our entire Parisian trip. All 10 people in our party agreed. We ranged in ages from 63 to 18. From our courteous server, Jimmy, to the band Batteaux Mouches, to the wonderful cuisine of a 4 course meal. We’ve done a great many special events in our lives and this turned out to be an amazing find. All that and the sights of the city from the Seine at night. Well done! ( ps not an event for young children)

Magical Eiffel - Definitely the highlight of our weekend in Paris. The Eiffel Tower comes to life after darkness falls. Truly a magical evening with everything perfectly organised.

Fantastic dinner cruise! - High point of our trip! Food was excellent, loved every minute of the cruise. It was not easy figuring out where to meet up, especially not speaking French. More details would have been appreciated

Nice experience - The cruise was beautiful and the musicians were great. Service was excellent but our dinner was not the best. We had pollack which was undercooked and tasteless. Other than that we enjoyed it!

poor service to certain areas - Great view of the main attractions but the service was poor in certain areas. Paid extra to be near the window (great idea) but us and 3 other tables near us waited long periods between courses and had to ask for things others had already eaten. 2 tables were still eating their main meal whilst docking to disembark. Not good enough for the cost.

Disappointing Experience - After experiencing the same trip 6 years ago we were keen to recreate what was an amazing experience. We should have kept the memory of that time. From inattentive waiting staff to bland food it just continued to be one disappointment after the other. For the cost, which has obviously increased since that time, it was very unexciting. We, in essence had to serve ourselves, ask for items such as bread rolls (which were delivered with no butter). Long gone was the memory of the team chatting with you, striking up a short lived relationship, but one just the same. Once you were served they were gone. The only memory to take away was the live music, the pianist and violinist were beautiful. The different genres of music played was impressive and the boat really participated, singing or clapping. Overall very disappointing. There are many other options for a sightseeing cruise or other alternatives to the mode of transport to see the city so shop around.

Would not recommend - While the views were good, I don't think the food and service were worth what we paid for. We did not get all of our bottles of water and 10 minutes after docking we still didn't have dessert. They told us a few more minutes, but at that point it was late and we didn't want to wait. Our waiter hardly checked in with us and seemed bothered that we were there and the hosts were not very friendly. Would be better to do a day cruise that's shorter or a bus around town.
