Early Evening Dinner Cruise With Drinks By Bateaux Parisiens

Very friendly and informative. Great experience. Early morning time worked out perfect because there was no crowds.

Food and service was excellent. Very romantic for a couple. ........................................

The food was amazing and the staff were eager to help with knowing the sites. Would be great to travel farther down the river. The pictures taken by the staff were an added touch to the experience.

Best overview overall with good food too! Service team coordinated and educated to explain sites. Suggestion: have some info broadcast over PA system to help identify specific sites with information about!

So I’m not one to usually write reviews but felt compelled because my husband and I spent lots of money (almost $300) for reservations for the dinner cruise and went for our last night in Paris while on vacation. While the food was wonderful, the service itself was not as great. Other couples seated around us were receiving good service: wine refilled constantly, their plates being carried away quickly, and even had their photos taken and were offered printed copies. However, my husband and I did not receive any of the above. We were pouring our own drinks, plates sat on the table while the next courses were being served to us still, and we were never offered any photocopies of the pictures taken although it was done for each couple in the area. My husband and I are part of LGBTQ community, and while I am not certain that would have anything to do with it, it wouldn’t be the first time we were looked over. The cruise itself is lovely and is a nice way to start your trip or even recap as you peruse the Seine. Just wanted to share our experience especially for other LGBTQ couples looking to do something special, maybe skip dinner and just do the tour instead.

We were very disappointed. It was expensive and we were not crazy about the food. It would have been nice to have had some narration even if they were headphones. I would not recommend this activity and would not do it again.

I had a wonderful stay at Hotel Helussi in Paris. It’s a charming, intimate hotel that is exceptionally clean and very well maintained. The breakfast was delicious, with a great selection to start the day. The location is excellent—close to the city center and convenient for exploring Paris. What truly made the stay special was the incredibly friendly and welcoming staff. They were always helpful, attentive, and made us feel right at home. I highly recommend Hotel Helussi to anyone looking for a comfortable, cozy, and welcoming place to stay in Paris.

This was a lovely tour! The views were fabulous, the boat was comfortable, and the food was DELICIOUS! We did the premiere window service and it’s worth EVERY penny! My only complaints that knock down a star is that the whole experience felt very rushed and I would have enjoyed a more leisurely, longer ride down the river. As we got on board and sat at our table, we were immediately asked what our orders would be (you do get to view the menu ahead of time while waiting to load the boat.) While service was prompt and very polite, we both finished our appetizers before even leaving the dock. Everything felt much more leisurely by the time we finished our main dishes, but at that point the tour was over halfway done. So, while I do understand logistics of serving a three-course meal in an hour and 15 minutes is tricky, I would have loved a two hour tour so everything could slow down and feel more relaxed.

Highly recommend this Seine River dinner cruise. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner while looking at many beautiful Paris sights from the river. One of the highlights of our family trip.

Lovely way to see Paris , different perspective from the water. Food was really nice and the whole experience was amazing

The service and food were excellent. Boat is very nice and decor well maintained. A nice experience, just the right amount of time to enjoy the evening sail!

Yes it sounds pricey, but it was worth it. Very nice clean boat with spotless large viewing windows. A table next to the window was ideal. A bit confusing finding the correct check-in spot (voucher said go to port 5 or 7 but there was no one working at port 5). Food was surprisingly good, boat departed and returned on schedule. You only get to choose one option for a bottle of wine per table (red or white). You cannot each choose red or white and the itinerary said you could choose champagne or kir as an aperitif but they only brought champagne. And the description said tea or coffee as available but they did not serve it until about 5 minutes from docking and the tea was served in a soup bowl not a teacup (no handle) so it was too hot to pick up without burning your fingers. Despite the few glitches, I recommend this trip.

Great food and service but very rushed at 6.15 sitting. Would have been much better experience if more relaxed. Appreciate a later sailing to reset for, but could start earlier.

We thought it would be just a so so cruise. But the food and service was top notch. So kind for my mom that was in her wheelchair, easy access and excursion for her.

The meal was delicious and the service was great. Very pleasant evening smooth selling down the Sine river.

That it was great to have sightseeing by boat with dinner. Just wasn't long enough. We were rushed out to bring in another group. Staff was great.

overrated and overpriced! I would not do this one again. Very touristy and second rate. The early evening was an hour, and I felt like they were rushing us before the later tour got started

Great experience; very well done. Nice quiet dinner cruise on the river. Good food, good sights.

This wonderful cruise on an elegant ship provided excellent gourmet food and amazing sights despite the rain (it's enclosed and comfortable). Our early dinner cruise started and ended at the Eiffel Tower.

The food is mediocre, however the service was great. You are definitely paying for the experience. If you are touring on a sunny day and sitting by the windows, it will be hot. Dress appropriately.

Excellent service. Special shoutout to Wasim who looked after my mum and I and took special care in ensuring all our needs were met. All staff were professional, fun and warm. Food was very good (for a tourist boat trip!). Vibes were incredible. I was apprensive at first but really pleased we went for it. Truly one of the highlights of our trip. Wish it could’ve lasted longer! Merci beaucoup!

When we first got on the boat it was very hot from the direct sunlight. However, once the boat started moving and the sun set it was better. Our waiter was very attentive and pointed out the main landmarks we passed. Dinner was good and my dessert was excellent. We had a nice time overall.

This early evening dinner cruise was a wonderful way to see Paris, with beautiful views of landmarks along the Seine while enjoying delicious food, wine, and great service. The atmosphere was romantic and relaxing, making it a truly memorable experience in the city.

Perfect evening to see the lights and sites along the Seine. We wanted something early as our days were full each day and didn’t want to be out very late! The timing of this dinner cruise was perfect for us! Food was excellent. The chocolate dessert was phenomenal! Staff was delightful!

We had such a wonderful time on our river cruise. The service and the scenery exceeded our expectations. We loved ever minute of it!

This was a perfect way to start our visit to Paris. It was not the first time for all so it is a fab review of. all there is to see along the Seine. The food was great, the service outstanding, and the wine wonderful.. I highly recommend the voyage!

Had just arrived in Paris and were jetlagged. This was an AMAZING, BEAUTIFUL, PERFECT way to stay awake and be introduced to Paris. Incredible scenery and great food and service.

Staff were all very friendly, polite and professional. Appreciated that they were on time. Food was delicious and presentation was spectacular. Great views, especially seeing the Eiffel Tower. Really liked we were given choices for starter, main and dessert. We splurged for window seats and it was worth it.

This is a Must do in Paris! My mom and I had a wonderful time and enjoyed the food and service so much!

Finding exactly which boat was ours took a few tries, but once we were there, the service was fantastic. I really recommend you spend the extra money for Premiere as the views, wines and service were worth it! The food was much better than our low expectations, which surprised us on such a touristy thing to do. But it was an absolutely fantastic way to see Paris - a perspective you just can’t get another way. Really worth the money!

Very nice, even though it was raining, it was still a lovely experience. Service was great, food was delicious. Staff was very friendly.

The main entree and dessert were very good, starter and salad were so so, servers were attentive and pointed out certain landmarks to look at. Downside of the early dinner is we felt rushed.

Very enjoyable and relaxing after a day of whirlwind tours of the sites in Paris. Excellent service by the waiters and delicious food. Leisurely sail around the river is very nice.

Wonderful views when you purchase the “privilege” seating and very attentive staff. Delicious desserts too!

The food and service was very good for the adults; not so good for two children. The early cruise runs the risk of being too hot, with the sun blaring down on you through glass windows. The first leg was fairly leisurely; felt like a spring on the way back and barely finished our meal before getting back to the dock.

Was a little disappointed that after paying the price of the Premier service, we were not at the front or even at a window. The cruise and dinner were lovely and staff were friendly and courteous, however the seating (given it was sold to us differently) really let the evening down.

Don’t sit by the window on day or early evening cruise during the summer. It is very warm by the window.

Lovely way to see sites! Very relaxing and enjoyable! Although it was very hot inside the boat. The waiter tried to make our first night in Paris wonderful! Food was good. A very fun evening.

Average food, air condition not great, confusing meet up directions. Good views. Worth it because of view.

The views from the dinner cruise were spectacular! One thing to note, portion sizes are extremely small and photographers try to suggestive sell photos during the duration of the cruise.

The guide - Tristan - was amazing. He showed us as much as was possible in the relatively short time we had. His knowledge was great, and he was easy to understand. He had a good sense of humor and shepherded his group well. The Orsay is, of course, not to be missed. We enjoyed the tour despite the crowds.

Short dinner cruise perfect to kick off our Paris visit after a long travel day. No commentary regarding the sights however there is a QR code at the table to bring up information and the wait staff were most adept at describing the sights. Excellent wait staff with a team approach. Food selections were nice and the quality was very good. Champaign and wine were served and quite nice. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed this experience and would recommend to others. Note: the etoile seating was quite satisfactory with upgrade unnecessary.

The cruises was wonderful, the service and food was excellent, the atmosphere also was great, I would highly recommend it.

The dinner felt rushed. Food was good but they brought your next course before you hardly finished the one before.

Went with husband, sister, cousin and friends. 8 of us total. Very pricey. Food selection was not up to what was expected. Tasted bland. Very disappointed. Actual cruise was not as good as advertised. Would not recommend. Did not even come close to my expectations that weren't high to state with

Toma was wonderful. She knew a lot about the history of the area and she was able to answer all of our questions. She read the group and had us stay at the wine shop while she went to the last stop to pick up the final desserts. The wine and cheese pairing was awesome.

Wonderful experience! Service was great, views were beautiful and food was adventurous! We had such a great time and i definitely recommend the premier one.

Verygood dinner cruise. Food was great and going down the Seine at night was awesome! Seeing the Eiffel Tower lit up at night was the highlight of the cruise!

Excellent dinner with fabulous food and great service. Of course, the views are exceptional and the bateaux gives you up close perspectives. Beautiful boat.
