The cruise was a really nice elevated experience. If you want to feel fancy, here is your chance. They serve great meals and dessert, and the ride itself was really nice. What could make it even better is the live music and occasional commentary on the sights that we were seeing. It was just the food and the ride. There was also a photographer going around to take pictures which they printed afterwards for you to buy, if you wanted.

Itinerary
The Bateaux Parisiens port is situated at feet of the Eiffel Tower, a good occasion to take a nice picture before or after the cruise. You will also admire views of the Eiffel Tower several times during your lunch cruise.
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. Your cruise then returns to the quay near the Eiffel Tower.
As you approach the Pont Alexandre III, you will see the Dome des Invalides on the right side. This monument houses the tomb of Napoleon Bonaparte.
This particularly beautiful bridge was a gift to France from Tsar Alexander III. It's a wonderful experience to pass underneath this structure aboard the fully glass-enclosed boat.
Admire this beautiful landmark during your dinner cruise! It is an incredible experience to pass under this bridge aboard the glass canopy boat.
Admire the architecture of the Musée d'Orsay, which used to be a railway station in the past.
You will enjoy nice views to this famous quarter while you cruise on the Seine.
Lift your head and admire the sculptures when you pass by Pont Neuf, which is actually the oldest bridge of Paris.
From the river, you will have a wonderful perspective to the famous Notre Dame Cathedral.
Enjoy the specific atmosphere of this area when you pass by.
You will see the interesting architechture which represents 4 open books. At this point, the boat will turn and cruise back to the city center.
Enjoy nice views from the river to this historical quarter of Paris.
During your lunch cruise, you will also see the Hôtel de Ville de Paris, a very impressive building where the major of Paris has her office.
The Ile Saint Louis is the heart of the historical Paris. You will have interesting views to its typical architecture from the water.
The Pont Marie is a very special bridge. If you pass under this bridge, close your eyes and make a wish. It is told that your wish will come true before next year.
The Conciergerie is a very remarkable landmark. It is the place where the King Louis XVI and the Queen Marie-Antoinette where imprisoned before they were executed.
Admire the 700 m long facade of the biggest museum of the world. The Louvre used to be the residence of French kings.
From the boat, you will see the Egyptian obelisk. The Place de la Concorde used to play a big role during the time of the French revolution, as the guillotine was placed there.
The bridge between the Place de la Concorde and the Assemblée Nationale was build from the stones of the Bastille prison which was destroyed after the French revolution.
Admire the amazing architecture with its glass coupole! This building hosts exceptional exhibitions and events. During the Olympic games in 2024, it hosted a part of the competitions.
Admire the little sister of the New York's Statue of Liberty with the Eiffel Tower in its background! A very special photo spot, just before you return to the Bateaux Parisiens quayside!

Worth every cent. Fantastic service, friendly accommodating staff - food was very good & wine pairings also very good. Awesome views of everyday stunning Paris
This was a great cruise with very friendly staff and good food. Highly recommended to anyone. The whole experience was very good.
Excellent experience and the food was delicious ♥️. Would definitely recommend! Look forward coming back to Paris!!
My wife and booked this lunch cruise and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The food was good and the service was excellent. Before we knew it, the cruise was over. That was the only disappointment was that it went by quickly.
We thoroughly enjoyed seeing the beautiful sights of Paris while cruising along the Seine! The staff was amazing, friendly, and attentive, and the food was good. It was such a lovely way to experience Paris from a different perspective. We had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend this experience!
There are no guides to point out the sites along the way. That would have been helpful. The food and service was excellent!
Weather was perfect. Very good experience. Know you can take your leftover wine. They will cork for you. 👏.
The premium service is great value for money. Great views, good quality food and a generous serving of wine at a private table. A really enjoyable couple of hours. One warning. It got very hot under the glass on a day which, while sunny, was only 16deg. Hopefully the area is air-conditioned for summer days. Overall…Highly recommended!
A lovely two hour cruise with food and wine included. Booked the front of the boat and recommend you choose middle to front for a more relaxed experience with more space. Do note, front booking can be around the side/front of the boat. Thanks to Gunji for looking after us with superb service. Even when a bottle of wine randomly broke on opening (through no fault of Gunji's actions), she was quick to step in and assist. The food was lovely, with champagne to start and plenty of red and white wine included throughout the cruise. There is an outdoor area at the rear of the boat for photos and fresh air. Highly recommended trip.
The cruise was a wonderful way to see the Seine in the warmth of a boat as opposed to one of the open air ones. If you do the lunch tickets that includes the bottles of wine, you can take them with you if you don’t finish them. So make sure you ask!
The cruise was excellent! The views were amazing. The food was delicious and a lot. Would highly recommend
Fantastic experience, food and service were both outstanding. The views were breathtaking. I recommend this tour
Great food and service on an enjoyable trip down the Seine. The boat was comfortable and views memorable.
The food was excellent and the staff was very helpful. I am lactose intolerant and they had a detailed list of allergens for each dish to help me choose my food wisely. The ride is smooth, and didn’t bother my spouse’s motion sickness.
Great scenery and views. The boat was enclosed and very cozy. Didn’t care for the food options but the wine and champagne were great.
Loved it. The staff was amazing. I treated myself to the vip and am so glad I did. The food and view were perfect.
This tour is FIRST class. We did the premier service and sat at the front of the boat. The service was outstanding the food and wines were great. Our waiter was attentive and spoke perfect english! It was so peacefully drifting down the river seeing the sites while just relaxing. I would highly recommend this experience.
Food and wine were very nice. Service was excellent.
Was an amazing experience. Very much enjoyed ourselves. The food was incredible, the wine was perfection and the service was 5 star.
I had a wonderful time, the check in was painless and the food delicious. It was a relaxing experience to view the sites.
Delicious food. Great service and very very good ambiance. Highly recommend. A treat to see Paris from the water.
The food was first class. They poured plenty of wine and the staff was great. The cruise has beautiful views of Paris.
Don't miss this one! A great introduction to where the attractions are located. The food was spectacular are the service was very good. We'd do this again.
Excellent experience, well worth paying a bit extra for the privilege option as we got a seat by the window. Food is amazing, service brilliant. Thoroughly recommend!
Really nice boat ride. The boat was awesome the clear sides were gorgeous! Food was decent / passable. They did not account for our nut allergies. We reminded them at each course, but they kept bringing out dishes with nuts!
It was a very upscale nice lunch and the ride on the Seine was relaxing and scenic. Better than I expected.
I had the best experience , all inclusive lunches and drinks, best site seeing through out Paris , it met my expectations
Delicious food, great choices, book the premier if you want a window seat! Great service and very comfortable.
The experience went beyond my expectations. The advert does not do it justice, the experience was better. I highly recommend anyone who is thinking about this, to do it, you won’t be disappointed.
We had a great view and a great table at the front of the boat, champagne on arrival followed by three course lunch with bottomless wine not that you need it , with the Glass roof and sides the views are fantastic and the sun was shining. Would definitely do it again when we came back.😎🇫🇷🍷
Booked for 3 guests premium service they only catered for 2 firstly 2 bread rolls on table thought ok asked for 1 more seeing how there was 3 of us straight away waiter not happy very abrupt when I can thought all good not that we saw much of him from then filled our own drinks which I don't mind then last course was small cakes which he gave us a plate of 4 tables of 4 got 2 of these asked waiter if we could have more he said you can share 4 divided by 3 doesn't work well! Then gave us the worst cup of coffee I have had in Paris didn't no what flat white was so ordered latte that arrived as a black coffee got milk and found it was instant coffee on leaving wife said to him i wasn't good he said that is not how we say goodbye in France used this company before in NYC very different experience
Viator was awful. Gave wrong address for departure. And did not respond to numerous messages. Would not use them.
Did the premium package, put us in the brow of the boat, ahead of a table of Chinese, food and services were great, enjoyed the whole experience!
The food and service were excellent! The timing of each serving and pairings were very well thought out! The iconic views along the seine were tremendous. Totally enjoyed the experience from beginning to end. Thank you!
Very classy experience! Absolutely could not believe how wonderful the good and service was . They took such great care of me and my girlfriend.
Such a perfect first day in Paris! We arrived on the overnight from NY so this was a perfect activity to keep us awake, see the city and have a delicious meal. Definitely recommend
This is a very luxurious experience. The food was delicious and plentiful. There are even choices on the menu. Plenty of wine and champagne and also a beautifully presented table setting. Your initial cost includes everything. Also the server was very attentive. The boat was beautiful and in top condition. A wonderful way to enjoy the sights of Paris.
Top service, exclusive meals, various menu, so everyone can find something for their taste. Very polite personnel, welcome and service were like on a business class plane. Not short and interesting river trip! Worth trying not only for tourists and I'll be back!
Great food, staff and cruise Great sights A 2.5 hour cruise showing the Eiffel Tower and famous bridges
What a way to spend a couple of hours cruising the Seine, eating delicious food, having lovely wine and watching the sites go by. Five of us booked the "privilege" seating so we could sit by the window. We had a wonderful time and our waiter was very attentive. Highly recommend!
It was everything I expected and more. Views were stunning. This was the best meal I had in Paris and the service was exceptional. I didn't realize there would be so much wine for the two of us. Glass of champagne to start, 2 glasses of white white wine a bottle of red. Since my friend doesn't like red wine, I had plenty. We booked the privilege and had a window table. It was worth the extra price. It looked like all tables had a good view though.
We booked a window table for the lunch cruise and it was worth it! The city views were fantastic. The food was delicious and the staff were so friendly. Just a all-around great experience.
Excellent accommodations. Very good meal. Plenty of wine. We did the highest level. We thought there might be more verbal description of points of interest (none) but a great first day easy overview of the city from the Seine.
Top end restaurant quality food, great service, fast and friendly. And the next comment is to fill in the extra 35 characters the survey app is demanding
Great experience worthed the price! Very nice atmosphere and outstanding service by Rachid. Excellent four services meal with great views of the Seine. We took the Premier service option and it was worthed! The option by the Window was not available but the view was still the same!
We booked this experience based on reviews we had seen, and we have to say that this exceeded our expectations. We booked the premier luncheon with a table by the window. We thought everything was amazing, from the views of the historic landmarks as our ship glided past them, to the delicious meal we were served. We checked in for our reservation around noon. We boarded the ship at 12:15 when it arrived at the dock, and we left for the 2-hour excursion promptly at 12:45. Our server wasted no time pouring us each a glass of champagne after we were seated. We selected our starter, entree and dessert from an online menu that was available via a QR code. We were also served a cheese course prior to dessert. It was the best meal of our entire vacation! This was such a wonderful experience that we would definitely do it again!
It was a fantastic experience. The service and staff were excellent. The food was good too. Not as hard to find as we were led to believe.
This trip was excellent. Service and food was top class. Everything was very clean. Music was pleasant.
It was a great experience. The server was excellent. It was a little confusing to check in. To pick up the tickets for the cruise was not at the same place where the cruise boat start. Should be the same area
