Front-row seats to Parisian architecture

Cruising the Seine is like flipping through a living history book. You'll glide past centuries of architecture, from the Gothic spires of Notre-Dame to the modern curves of the National Library. It's a chance to witness how Paris evolved, all while sipping wine or enjoying the breeze.

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.
