Paris is a city that has a thousand things to explore, from legendary icons like the Eiffel, Louvre and Notre Dame to cuter things like cafes, bookshops and streets. And while walking is one of the ways you can go about enjoying the Parisian vibes, there are more creative plans that are in fashion right now. Like sailing down the good old Seine River on a sightseeing cruise!

So make sightseeing more fun with a Seine River cruise and let the city come to you. Keep reading to know more about what to keep in mind while booking tickets, the various operators, boarding points and more. 

Things to know before booking your tickets

  • The sightseeing cruises on Seine River are the most popular experiences and tend to get sold out even faster than dinner and lunch cruises, considering these are pocket-friendly. It is highly recommended that you book your tickets at least 1-2 weeks in advance.
  • While the sightseeing route for the cruise is mostly similar for all operators, some features may differ. For instance, Bateaux Parisiens provides onboard snacks with an upgrade and allows flexibility in selecting your departure time. On the other hand, Bateaux Mouches features larger boats, increasing the likelihood of securing a seat, even during peak seasons.
  • You can pick a daytime sightseeing cruise or an evening one, depending on what fits your plans. Daytime cruises are great for soaking in all the details of the city and its landmarks. If you’re after something more magical, the evening cruises let you experience Paris lit up at night, with icons like the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, and the Arc de Triomphe glowing beautifully.
  • One of the best ways to save money and truly experience Paris is by opting for combo tickets, and a Seine River sightseeing cruise is a perfect addition to many of them. You can easily pair the cruise with visits to iconic landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, the Arc de Triomphe, the Opera Garnier, or the Orsay Museum. You can even add unique experiences like a trip to Disneyland Paris or a night at the Moulin Rouge. The best part? These combos are flexible, so you can plan each activity on different days to fit your schedule—and save money while you’re at it.

Know your sightseeing cruise operators

Both Bateaux Parisiens and Bateaux Mouches offer cruise experiences starting at €16. But there are a few considerations you might want to keep in mind before booking:

Bateaux Parisiens

  • With smaller boats that carry 150 to 400 passengers, Bateaux Parisiens is perfect if you’re looking for a more peaceful and intimate vibe, away from large crowds.
  • You can hop on at Port de la Bourdonnais by the Eiffel Tower or other locations like Quai Montebello, and with cruises leaving every hour, it’s super easy to fit into your day.
  • The 1-hour cruise takes place on sleek, glass-enclosed boats that offer stunning views of Paris. You can even treat yourself to delicious macarons and hot chocolate with an upgrade while listening to live commentary about the city’s famous landmarks.

Recommended tickets:

1-Hour Seine River Sightseeing Cruise from the Eiffel Tower

1-Hour Paris Illuminated Evening Sightseeing Cruise

Bateaux Mouches

  • If you enjoy a bit of buzz, these larger boats, holding 600 to 1000 passengers, give you that energetic, bustling vibe while cruising down the Seine.
  • The cruise lasts about 85 minutes, so you get a little extra time to take in Paris’s incredible landmarks.
  • Whether you’re on the open deck or relaxing inside under the glass roof, there’s guaranteed seating for all, and the guided commentary makes sure you don’t miss a thing.

Route
Rules
  • Best month of the year
    The best seasons for a Seine River cruise are spring (April-May) and fall (September-October). The weather is mild, the scenery is stunning, and there are fewer tourists than in summer. Summer is vibrant but busy, while winter offers quieter cruises and magical holiday decorations, especially in late November and December.
  • Best day of the week
    Weekdays, particularly Tuesday to Thursday, are the best times to go. These days tend to be less crowded, allowing for a more relaxed experience. Avoid weekends if possible, as they’re busier with both tourists and locals, especially in peak seasons like summer.
  • Best time of the day
    Evenings are perfect for catching the sunset and seeing Paris light up for the night. Mornings are quieter and offer crisp views, while midday is a good option if you want to avoid the crowds while still enjoying warm daylight.
  • Aim to get there at least 30 minutes before departure to check in and settle in comfortably.
  • Whether you have a booking confirmation or an e-ticket, have it ready to show when boarding.
  • Smoking is only permitted in designated outdoor areas; it’s not allowed indoors.
  • Guide dogs are welcome, but other pets are not allowed on board.
  • Leave large bags or suitcases behind, as space is limited– bring only the essentials.
  • Outside food and drinks aren’t allowed on board.
