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.

5.00Very friendly and accommodating staff. Great service and meal. The sights are amazing and the cruise leisurely. Every seat has a great view. Beware the taxi scam at check-in. Book your own return cab in advance for half the cost.

5.00Everything is perfect. The only drawback. I expected the boat to turn off the lights so I could take pictures without reflections.

4.00Lovely service. Food very nice. Don’t like champagne but tried a sip. Music was beautiful. Biggest disappointment was we didn’t move from port to port siene levels were too high. Saying that we saw the the tower sparkle and it was beautiful. Got a refund for the cruise part and tickets to cruise again. Also sang happy birthday to me and got a cake so what’s not to like. Staff were all great

5.00This was worth every penny. What a beautiful and romantic way to spend an evening. The music, food, drinks and atmosphere truly made for an enjoyable experience. The servers were personable and friendly. Definitely splurge on a window seat and upgraded packages. When in Paris!
Great meal & experience!

5.00The food and service were great, and even though it was raining, we really enjoyed the cruise! We saw another few cruises going by and I believe this one looked the nicest by far. They let us on the boat at 7 PM, which was 30 minutes earlier than expected. This could’ve possibly been because it was raining and they felt bad for us. I was surprised they started serving us food right away before we even took off. However, this really worked out well for us. It felt like a really elongated meal service. The tables up front are very close to each other, but we ended up getting very chummy with the table next to us so turned out to be extra fun! Bathrooms were downstairs and very clean. They set up a taxi service for us to pick us up after the cruise wrapped which we took advantage of because of the rain. It ended up being about $15 more than the Uber we took on the way there. I’m glad we did their taxi service because it picked up right off the boat rather than going up to the street level. Overall, 10/10 would do it again!
