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.

Do this for a magical evening! - The food was delicious. The service was impeccable. The boat traveled slow up the river and back and slowed considerably by the Eiffel Tower which gave plenty of time for picture taking. The views were fabulous. Thoroughly enjoyed the evening.

Amazing ambiance - The pianist and violinist were beyond talented and the food was delicious. Well worth it to buy a table by the window. We have a wonderful time, merci!

Magical evening - The table by the window was so lovely, with a welcome glass of champagne and appetizer treats. Our waitress was charming, and the four course dinner to follow was delicious! Cruising by Paris at night, while listening to live music was magical. Highly recommend!

Good but not enough seating - We enjoyed the dinner but the river cruise was not as enjoyable. Due to river conditions we could not do the dining river cruise, but they were gracious enough to give us a partial refund, still have the dinner, but the river cruise had to be rescheduled. It was nice, however it was clear they overbooked the boat and there was not enough seating for everybody - they did not open up the top of the boat for additional seating either. In the future, they need to allocate enough seating for everyone so they don’t have to stand the entire 1 hr 15 mins.

Part of first Paris trip... - The views were great, especially seeing the Eiffel Tower up close at night! Food was of a decent quality. Service could have been a bit better.

Seine dinner cruise - We had a really fun time but my dinner was inedible. The steak was so tough I couldn’t eat it. The views were spectacular, especially the Louve and Eiffel Tower. We were disappointed that the cruise didn’t go beyond the Louve as we would’ve loved to see other major landmarks up by Notre Dame. We spent the majority of the cruise down by the business district with tall building and apartments.

Not recommended - Bad experience. Missed the glitter at the Eiffel Tower one the main reason why took the cruise. Food was below average. Waiter forgot to serve us the dessert until asked for it. Only thing that kept us going was the live music. The guys wer fantastic.

A very disappointing non experience - Shocking experience. Arrived to find no obvious place to meet Viatour rep. Queued up for twenty minutes to find out the boat wasn’t sailing. Offered a meal whilst moored and a different boat trip. Only to find out that the new boat trip was not going to Notre Dame due to the high level of water (the same reason as why the Bateau Mouche was not sailing) however we were not advised of this. Still awaiting the refund which after four days is disgraceful.
