Paris 3-courses Gourmet Dinner Seine River Cruise With Champagne

I had spent a huge amount of time looking over the various Seine cruises, with champagne, dinner, and even just the bare cruises. Finally settled on this trip, expecting a mediocre dinner, limited visibility of the sites, but checking off most of the boxes. However, I was ecstatic with the outcome! The dinner and service itself was excellent, what I would have expected at a nice restaurant. The design of the boat gave floor to ceiling visibility, and while we had reserved a table by the window, I think any of the seats gave great views. There was a wonderful vocalist singing during the meal, which turned out to be a very romantic and beautiful evening. Even the boat photographer was impressive. They take everyone's pictures but I usually avoid them at the end. However, the pictures and poses were excellent, and the cost was very reasonable, and I ended up buying a 5 picture package. This turned out to be a very enjoyable and romantic evening and I wanted to pass this on to others facing the same barrage of options and choices for the river cruise. We did the 6:45 pm tour, which worked out great for the sunset, and the lighting of the buildings. The nicest finish of the tour was walking along the Seine back to our hotel, which was feasible, but even if it were too far to walk, it would be a good idea to do the walk and then get an Uber/taxi the rest of the way home. This cruise was an unexpected highlight of our time in Paris.

It is an elegant dinner with fantastic views but no guided information about what you are seeing. The Eiffel Tower at night is beautiful. It would be excellent as a romantic dinner in Paris but still good with just friends. The singer on board was superb.

Absolutely fantastic trip. Food was amazing. Live music was amazing. Can’t fault it. Best boat trip ever.

Our reservation was supposed to have 2 glasses of champagne, and we only received 1 for each of us. Please be serious.

Service is average. Window view is nice but I wish the attendees would monitor the guests who lingered and invaded the window area. It ruined the experience to have other people hovering over the table for the pictures.

It was good. The views were amazing. The food was ok. We paid for upgrade to window seat. I highly recommend that! Big upcharge on wine. Service was very good.

Food was good, but somehow two drinks and a bottle of water costs me 45 euro, as they added in a tip. And it was only an hour and 15 minutes. They really rush the food. Overall, would not recommend.

The cruise, the dinner and most importantly the sights! What a view of the Eiffel Tower light up at night. Absolutely magical! It’s a must do!!

The boat was beautiful, with live music and an amazing dinner. My partner and I were absolutely delighted! The views of Paris during sunset made this the most romantic dinner I’ve ever had!

The food on this cruise was inedible and we were billed a charge for the service that was not disclosed when the cruise was ticketed.

Not a tour. You see lovely sites but there is no explanation of what you are seeing. Lovely music and view.

The waiter said we owed tax on the cost of the tour and pushed for 20% to cover this. We were told it was required. If tax is not included it should be mentioned in the “what’s not included “. Was this tax supposed to be included? If so we over paid. Check with Viator ahead of booking. Steak was tough but starter and dessert was nice. Views of the sites along the Seine were amazing.

A river Seine cruise is a must. Picture yourself sharing an excellent meal while being serenaded by a talented singer that transports you to the “bohème” Paris with her renditions of “La vie en rose” et “La Bohème” . As if that wasn’t enough your floating along gazing to those landmarks that makes you come to Paris again.

We boarded the Calife 2 for a dinner cruise up the Seine. Everything we could hope for. Magnificent food and service, comfortable seating and unforgettable views. Worth every dolllar. Three courses. A glass of champagne and a bottle of wine included. Dress comfortably but nicely; a polo is fine for men. We really enjoyed.

The boat was sweltering hot. I literally almost fainted twice. They tried to charge us for dinner after we had already paid for our ticket that included dinner. Definitely would NOT recommend.

Singer hit more than a few flat notes. Some Confusion over the bill (we had paid in advance). Tour could have been better narrated.

The views were fabulous but the food was average at best. The staff was good and fairly attentive. We had a decent time.

This was an amazing way to see the city. I highly recommend this. The food, drinks, and staff were fantastic. I would do it again in a heartbeat!

A bit hard to find (it's under a pedestrian bridge. Really good fun. Sit on the port side to avoid the sun.

They should know that the already expensive meal you pre paid for does not include WATER (8 euros)or more than 1 drink and be prepared to pay extra for meals on the menu and other options. The food was good but nothing special. The service was good but it’s a dinner cruise. There’s no commentary on what you are seeing as you cruise along. Instead they have a very talented singer but if you are there to enjoy each others company, you can’t hear yourselves. I would also recommend that you take the later cruise as nothing is lit up before 9 o’clock. Overall, it was not good value for money. We spent $750 Canadian and the extras were another $100 and the cruise was short by 15 minutes.

Just Average Compared to Others. This on the Seine dining experience was not as good as one we had before in 2025, but we still enjoyed the musical performance while looking at beautiful Paris and the beautiful early evening trip fit our other evening plans perfectly. Food was OK, service good, upchanging a little high for cocktails. But still a trip for sights and sounds.

Everything about the cruise and dinner was perfect! We got the window view, which was perfect until some Instagram girls ruined our view for some videos.. Unfortunately missed the Notre Dame because the girls were in the way.. The food was good, and our waiter was great!! I would totally book again..

The meal was not to good addition charges for beef was £10 euros no cheese desert was 2 mr Kipling cakes definitely not value for money

The food is not so good, a particular waiter was very racist and he was only fully attending to people of his colour. They are disorganised, we had to wait for a while before they could help us… I would not recommend. It’s not worth the price

The cruise and dinner were a very enjoyable experience overall. We especially appreciated the attentive service from our waiter and the wonderful live singer, who added a great atmosphere to the evening. The food was good, though it felt more standard fare presented in a way that aimed to seem more upscale. Unfortunately, due to high water levels, the cruise route was altered and we were unable to see some of the iconic highlights of Paris, which was a bit disappointing. Even so, it was a worthwhile experience and a lovely way to spend an evening.

Nice ride and very good service. Food was ok but not great. Good music. The experience was enjoyable.

We paid £245 for this with a window seat, thinking we were getting champagne included, we only got one glass each & had to pay for extras. The meal was ok, but the lighting was very dim, we couldn’t see what we were eating. Fairy disappointed really

Thank you to the team for making this experience so special. Everyone went about and beyond for us. The drinks were very good, food was tasty and the views stunning.

it was a nice trip with a decent food i recommended if you are the first time in Paris and romantic if you are a couple

It’s an expensive experience. Food was ok but after the one very small glass of (warm, flat) champagne, you need to buy everything including water.

Absolute brilliant experience staff was friendly food was amazing much better than we expected we paid for a window seat and was seated at the front totally amazing experience would definitely recommend easy to find pick up Only down side we bought bottles of water and wine we knew we had to pay extra but when paying the bill we was asked did we want to give a 10% tip or 20% or we could chose another my partner said Oh we will pay 5% it would of still been over £20 tip but we was told no the lowest is 10% so we went ok 10% it was only when we looked before we went to pay that Celine had put in a 20% tip so we questioned and she was then saying she was no good with numbers So I’d say check what tip is put in It was a shame because it was a fabulous night Celine was our waitress and was very polite it was just right at the end the wrong tip being put in apart from that I’d of give 5*

I was a little concerned based on some of the reviews but I was definitely impressed. Yes there are some up charges but I thought prices were reasonable and does not appeal to everyone so we didn’t mind splurging. You definitely want to sit next to window. The food was impressive for a dinner cruise. Service was amazing and the lovely piano player set mood with a nice mix. We would definitely do this again.

They should know about added cost. Wine, extra; steak, extra; window seating, extra. It may be in print,, but I didn’t notice it initially, and was especially surprised by the meal mark up

Food was average to below average . There was no commentary on the sites we were passing by . The waiter was quite aggressive in asking for a tip . I was the one paying amd he wouldnt speak to me about the bill. He also wanted to take my card out of my hand and not let me tap. I had to be rather firm . Then he proceded to saybtip was required and the staff shared it . Full of fussy children . The parents did their best . So I didnt blame them. Only nice thing was the gentleman who helped me with the high step .

Great experience, it was raining so the windows were foggy at times. But the food was good. Only one choice for starter so if you’re not a fish person you’re screwed. The desert was fantastic. Unfortunate they do not allow time to see the Eiffel sparkle.

Get there 2 hours early. I missed the trip because of rain and traffic. Missed the boat by 5 minutes and I was so sad. Ended up wandering In the rain down the Seine and eventually to the Eiffel Tower.

An amazing experience. A wonderful trip. I have taken the dinner cruise before and thought that it would be a perfect way to introduce my 14 year old grand-daughter to the magic of Paris on the first evening of her very first trip here. It has worked - she now loves Paris. The boat is easy to get to as it is near the Musée d’Orsay and all of the taxi drivers know where it is. There are buses and a metro stop nearby. You are welcomed on board and seated straight away. Although window tables are best, you still get an excellent view anywhere else as the glass roof and sides allows you to see everything. The boat first sails to the east. Starting near the Louvre, the highlight in that direction is Notre-Dame. It looks so beautiful illuminated - as do all of the buildings and sights that you pass. Eventually the boats turns towards the west and back the other side of the isles. There is lots more to see in that direction and then the Eiffel Tower comes into view, looking spectacular. If the timing is right you also get to see the sparkling light show of the Tower, which lasts for 10 minutes from the hour, every hour. Eventually the boat turns eastward again and you get a great view of the Statue of Liberty and a different view of the Eiffel Tower. You gradually make your way back to the start point. While you travel you are having a great meal and there is a very good singer to entertain you. We enjoyed our meal and it has been good every time I have taken this trip. The food was very good. On our trip this time it was same starter for everyone (beautifully presented mozzarella, basil, tomato and salad vegetables) which was outstanding. A choice of 3 main meals, chicken, steak or sea-bass. We had chicken and it was delicious. A cheese plate was an option before a dessert which was also very nice. There is a good selection of wine and drinks which are reasonably priced and arrive quickly they are extra although our package included a glass of Champagne. Particularly if it is your first visit to Paris, this dinner-cruise should be an important part of your trip. It is well worth the price for the good food, great sight-seeing and the magic of Paris!

The food was gross the singer was mediocre at best. the service was bad and they didn’t even have water. I kid you not also my mom was told when we got there that she couldn’t go because of her walker. I asked more than an hour prior and got no response I have screen shots to prove it all. When I asked for the a refund for my mother I was denied without explanation. I

Get there 30 minutes early. Know need to pay xtra for drinks. 2 choices for dinner. Photos being taken to purchase.

This cruise was great. My 12 year old daughter and I really enjoyed it and the 9:15 cruise ended with a great view of the sparkling Eiffel Tower. We also really appreciate that when our train from Lyon was delayed the company accompanied our request to move from the 6:45 cruise to the 9:15.

The vendor selected by Viator was horrible. For example, I order my steak to be medium rare and it was very well done. Also, my stake was tough as leather.

This was an amazing river cruise. The food was fantastic. No seat on the boat was a bad seat. The singer had a breathtakingly beautiful voice. Our waiter Ricky was fabulous! We couldn’t have asked for a better server!!!

Great way to see some of the historic sites. You will be able to see the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Cathedral, the Louvre Museum, Statue of Liberty and historic bridges such as Pont Alexandre III. The highlight for me was the Singer aboard. She kept the crowd very engaged during the cruise. Definitely a good tour for Paris at night!!!

A well organized evening with amazing views. Do pay the extra for a table by the window..well with it. . Meal was not the highlight of the cruise but the views were spectacular. The champagne adds to the ambiance. We had the steak but it was tough. The foie gras was very good and dessert was decadent (crème brûlée and the chocolate Eiffel Tower). The live music was also good. It would be nice if the tour could highlight some of the buildings we passed by ..as some we weren’t sure what they were. Overall 8 out of 10

Go for the experience and not the meal. Food was mediocre EXPERIENCE WAS SPECTACULAR. Seeing the sparkle of the Eiffel tower was amazing.

It was a very nice ride down the siene river. The food was very good. The sights were fabulous especially when it was all lit up after the sunset. Bam did a great job serving us. Highly recommend.

Overall good experience. The food was good. They had a live singer. Negatives: at times during the meal we felt neglected. Our waiter didnt bring what we ordered, we had to ask multiple times and then he wanted a tip for his service.

The food was excellent. Service good..pleasant evening even though it was raining.. inside and great window seats.

They had to re-fire my food because it was incorrectly prepared. The singer was great and you had great views on several land marks.
