Tips to know before booking your Seine River Cruise

Planning a Seine River cruise but not sure where to start? Here's everything you need to know to pick the right experience for your trip.

  • Evening cruises, especially dinner cruises, can sell out quickly during summer. Secure your spot by booking at least a week ahead. Sightseeing cruises are more flexible, with frequent departures, but can still get busy during peak hours, so planning ahead is wise.
  • If you're unsure of your schedule, opt for flexible tickets — they allow you to board anytime within 6 months. For a fixed itinerary, go for a fixed-time ticket, particularly for dining cruises, which often fill up fast.
  • For a quick and budget-friendly way to see Paris’ major landmarks, a 1-hour sightseeing cruise is perfect. Prices range from €16–€19 per person and include views of the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame Cathedral, and the Louvre.
  • Sightseeing cruises run through the day. Daytime cruises allow you to admire Paris under natural light, while evening cruises showcase the city’s illuminated beauty as it transforms into the "City of Lights."
  • For a more romantic experience, a lunch or dinner cruise is ideal. These 90-minute to 2-hour cruises offer a multi-course meal while sailing past Paris’ landmarks. Prices vary between €65 and €195, depending on the menu, service level, and entertainment.
  • Upgrade to a window seat for unobstructed views at a slight premium. If you're on a budget, standard seating is still a great choice thanks to the large panoramic windows. Be prepared to stand for photos, though.
  • Wondering what’s cooking on board? Most cruises serve French and Italian cuisine, with options for vegetarians and children. Select cruises also offer wine and champagne.
  • Some dinner cruises feature entertainment on board, such as DJs, live performances, or dance floors, enhancing your dining experience with a lively atmosphere.
  • Open-air decks are perfect for sunny days. However, Paris weather can be unpredictable, so if you're cruising in the colder months (fall or winter), opt for a covered boat or one that offers both options so you can retreat indoors if necessary.
  • Enhance your experience with multilingual audio commentary or live guides to learn about the history and significance of landmarks you’ll pass—perfect for first-time visitors.
