Paris Seine River Dinner Cruise with Live Music by Bateaux Mouches

Overview

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.

Of course tye view was beautiful, however, the food and menu options were not that of our liking. They also seemed understaffed so service was not quite on point.
Poor service; unprofessional; Tourist Tramp

There were 4 at our table, 3 ordered fish and received 3 beef.. no one came back to check on us. I had to find a waiter to let him know that that we did not receive what we ordered. It was an hour before we received the main course that we ordered. When the brought the food the did not bring silverware. We had to wait another 10-15 minutes for someone to bring silverware. By then our food was cold. Also other passengers were having dessert by then and the tour was also over. We felt rushed trying to finish our food.. because of this situation, we really weren’t able to enjoy the scenery. To try to make up for the mistake that the waiter made. He picked up a bottle of champagne that was almost empty from another table and brought it over to our table to say we could have the champagne. We did not want champagne and did not touch it. It was very professional to bring a half empty bottle of champagne from another table to our table. This was by far the worst experience I’ve ever had in Paris and I’ve been to Paris multiple times..
Great experience

Excellent food, great service and spectacular night views of Paris. Exceptional photo opportunities from the top deck but very warm and comfortable in the eating area.
Dinner and a show!

This was a perfect way to spend Christmas dinner in Paris! Great scenery during the meal, and the food was good (think large banquet food) so your expectations should not be fine-dining. But it was tasty. You are not there for the food but for the show of Paris. The boat arrives at the Eiffel Tower just in time for the sparkle show - but you can't take pictures through the glass as there is too much reflection (they should lower these lights but not sure they could). You have to go outside to get the best photos (it was too cold for us - so oh well). A table for two gets 1 bottle of wine - white or red - plus the glass of champagne when you are seated. The violinist was very talented but frankly took too long of a break for a 2 hour cruise. Overall a nice experience while nothing else was open for the holiday.

Very nice and romantic boat ride. Choice of varied dishes unfortunately the dishes arrived cold.... Also missing information on monuments seen😉 What to do when visiting Paris because it allows you to have a different view of the city. Note that the heating did not seem to work on the part of the boat ... provide wool!
Nice river cruise dinner on the Seine with live music.

Had a nice experience with my family. Food was very good and the live music was a nice touch. Get there on time to get the better tables in your section. Overall great experience but you won’t see too much of the landmarks because you will be spending most of your time enjoying dinner.
The atmosphere is very nice, but there are some flaws. These should be improved. See you next time.
