Bateaux Mouches Dinner Cruise on the Seine River in Paris
Overview
Available languages
3 hours
Mobile ticket
Jean Bruel created “Bateaux-Mouches®” in 1949, introducing a novel activity to the Seine and marking the advent of river tourism in Paris.
More than 70 years later, the tradition continues : take a cruise on the Seine and admire the sights of Paris while enjoying a fine dinner !
Glide along the river and see the Ville Lumière from a different angle. Take a seat and relax as the city's iconic landmarks flash before your eyes. The large windows give you the best view while a three-course meal (Prestige menu) or four-course meal (Excellence menu) are served.
An evening cruise of almost three hours gives you the chance to see Paris from its most beautiful avenue. The illuminated monuments provide a breathtaking backdrop, while a three-course dinner is served, accompanied by an aperitif and a wine of your choice. Choose the Excellence menu and make the most of this fabulous city at night.
All cruises also feature live music to accompany your Paris dining experience.

5.00We were very pleased with our dinner cruise. Waiters were very good. Food was good. Going up top to see the Eiffel Tower sparkle exceeded our expectations. I would recommend this cruise.

3.00This is my second time booking this particular dinner cruise! I really enjoyed the ambiance and romantic atmosphere especially since my husband and I were celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary. After checking with them three times prior to our dinner tour about it being a special celebration, they still forgot and did nothing! Other people were getting their birthdays and other celebrations acknowledged! This is a very expensive event and especially since it's my second time in one year! I mentioned it to the manager, guy in charge at the end as he didn't have much to say! We still had a nice time, but total incompetence on their part for not falling through with what they promised!
Gorgeous little cruise up...

4.00The cruise and views of the Eiffel Tower at night were great and the layout of the dinning area was nice and not crowded, good views for all. The food was OK, but our waiter either did not like his job or did not seem to like us. Up until then, everyone's been exceptionally nice including the staff that greeted us and helped us get a return taxi ride.
Delightful dinner cruise

3.00Food is average at best. Make sure you understand kids menu is very limited. Boat cruise is great. Atmosphere is great. Sights are great. Don't go for the food. Service is also great. Get there early. I would recommend 730.

5.00Good food, good service, good scenery combined to make this an exemplar experience. You haven’t seen the Eiffel Tower until you’ve seen it lit up at night.
