Explore the City of Lights with a quintessential Seine River Cruise in Paris! Choose from a variety of daily departure times to suit your sightseeing schedule, and then check in for your cruise near the Eiffel Tower. Hop aboard a popular Bateaux Parisiens riverboat, and soak up the passing sights of iconic attractions like Notre Dame, the Louvre and the Musée d’Orsay. Glide beneath beautiful historic bridges, including the famous Pont Neuf. Even the riverbanks of the Seine are a sight to behold and have been collectively designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Along the way, a prerecorded audio guide provides commentary on the history and legends of Paris. The boat will turn around after about half an hour and cruise back up the opposite bank for a scenic and leisurely introduction to the magic of Paris. Your sightseeing cruise ends back at the original departure point near the Eiffel Tower.

Audio was difficult to hear. Boat was packed with children on school trip who were screaming and very loud. Choose the hop on hop off option instead

it was pouring rain. We weren’t able to go outside and look at anything we all got soaked. I wish we could’ve gone on a better day.

Great boat with 360 deg views, commentary in 3 languages so everyone got something and was long enough to see the sites of Paris on the seine river.
