The Seine
Once you have admired the nice views of the Eiffel Tower from the Bateaux Parisiens boarding site, step aboard a modern and luxury glass canopy boat for your 2-hour lunch cruise. Make your way to your private table and enjoy your aperitif. Choose your dishes from the à-la-carte menu at the beginning of the cruise. All dishes are cooked on board and a vegetarian option is also available. Enjoy the lunch and the views of Paris’ major attractions lining the beautiful Seine, whose historic riverbanks are designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site, at the same time. Starting at the imposing Eiffel Tower, your route takes in iconic Notre Dame-Cathedral, the buzzing Latin Quarter and the Parisian Statue of Liberty, as well as world-famous museums such as the Musée d’Orsay and the Louvre, as you cruise to La Bibliothèque Nationale and back.

5.00Food far exceeded our expectations, we received a cocktail on boarding, a bottle of wine with lunch and unlimited bottled sparkling water. Service was very friendly and efficient. We were blessed with a gorgeous, warm sunny day which enhanced our experience even more. Highly recommended.

5.00The crew, service and food were excellent! We were welcomed and seated once boarding began. The food was absolutely delicious and each course was wonderful. The duck was not only tasty, but also the most tender I have ever had. Our desserts were so light and luscious! Husband and I had the emon meringue tart and both sons had the chocolate tart. Excellent service and the views were wonderful as well.
Too much wasted wine

4.00Very good food but wine was wasted at every table. I would have preferred to pay less for the ticket and had wine on demand, instead of 2 full bottles of wine for 2 people. As we were leaving, I noticed the second bottle of wine on every table was opened with only 5-15% of the wine missing. If they offered "all you can drink" they would save themselves money and would be able to pass on those savings to the passengers. What happens to the nearly full bottles of wine? Does the staff recork it and take it home? So wasteful. Secondly, we would have enjoyed hearing about the beautiful landmarks that we passed. Not a full narration, just 60-90 seconds for each of the 7-8 landmarks shown on the map would have been enjoyable. Instead, we heard their music loop that wasn't even long enough to prevent duplicate songs within the 2.5 hour time on the boat. The food was good, the waitstaff was reasonably friendly, but it's definitely a "one and done" thing for us.
