We had a wonderful time on the Paris cruise! We booked the 10:15 PM slot, which turned out to be perfect timing — we passed by the Eiffel Tower right as it started sparkling at 11 PM. It was absolutely magical. We were served a glass of champagne, which added a special touch to the experience and made us feel really good. There was no tour guide, which I actually saw as a positive — it allowed us to enjoy the peaceful background music and fully take in the views. If you're curious about any of the buildings, you can always look them up online.
I highly recommend this experience!

This was truly the best experience! I recommend this tour to anyone visiting Paris. I loved every minute. Hard to find if you are not familiar with the area so arrive early to navigate!
The ship was the perfect size…not too crowded. We sailed past the Eiffel Tower at the perfect time when the twinkling lights came on. Great cruise and very reasonably priced.
So much fun! Great to see the sites of Paris at night. The man doing the commentary was funny and very informational!
The boat was crowded but enough seats. The champagne is not very good and a small pour. The ride is enjoyable with good views.
Loved the experience but we did not get a tour guide explaining what we were seeing. We were on the top deck and heard nothing. The cruise was beautiful but we were hoping for some information since we just arrived in Paris.
Directions were hard to follow. Spent an hour looking for it. After finding it was a good tour. Relaxing and views were good for pictures.
Our tour guide didn't say anything except hi and bye! She didn't point out any of the sights we were seeing at all. It was nice to see the sights but it would have been so much better had we been given some history.
We arrived 20 mins early and should have gotten in line at least 1 hour before the start of our River cruise. By the time we boarded the entire top deck was full (best area to sit) and we were stuck downstairs by a fixed glass window. There was no "english" tour provided except a bartender who would rapidly switch between English and French to point out a couple of sites. The champagne offering means you stand in a long line to get your included beverage. I saw no advantage of booking ahead for this tour and would not recommend it to anyone. There are many Seine river boat tours and I believe this one could be one of the worse.
This was such a fun, short excursion down the center of beautiful Paris! We rode on the 8:15 pm slot and it was the perfect time. So many people out enjoying the evening on both sides of the river and the lights were beautiful. I recommend this excursion!
Nice evening cruise with light show at the Eiffel Tower at 9:00 pm. Crew was very efficient with a smile on their faces. Thanks
A scam, this is not a champagne cruise. They gave us champagne at the end because we complained, but this was just a normal seine cruise. We knew we weren’t in the wrong spot because others were in the same situation. That being said, it was a lovely time seeing Paris at sunset/ night from the water, but save your money and book the normal sunset cruise without champagne.
10/10 recommend doing the night tour. Different views of the Eiffel Tower to see the night time sparkles! A LOT of people but had easy access to the bar. Make sure to arrive early to get a good seat
Booked the sunset champagne cruise expecting the sights and sounds of Paris, all cast in a lovely glow. Sights we got, sunset we got, champagne we got. The sounds however were a torture for even the most hardy, for the music played during this 1 hour cruise (in September!) was a collection of terrible Christmas songs. “It’s the only music we have” was the response from staff on the ship when we inquired. They wouldn’t turn it off either. So “Last Christmas” and “All I want for Christmas is you” it was. Buyers beware, this isn’t the French flaire you might expect but a massive dose of Christmas when you least want or expect it .
This river cruise was just what we needed to start our Paris trip. We got to see the Eiffel Tower lit up from different angles, Notre Dame, and many other buildings/monuments. There wasn’t a guide, but there may have been an option for an audio guide on your phone. (I must have missed that). It was a nice cruise, but I don’t think I’d pay that much to do it again.
We took the 8.15pm cruise. Get to sail by the iconic landmarks, but the sound on the upper deck is not good and hence miss most of it. Certainly not a luxury cruise, as one may be led to believe by the name. It takes a lot of people, with an upper and lower deck where one sits on benches. Pick up your own drink with the ticket given during boarding.
I think it is better to take the evening cruises offered by multiple operators as it would be much cheaper.
We took this tour after a long day of travel. It was perfect! It was peaceful and relaxing, not to mention a great way to see the sights along the Seine. Great way to open or close a trip.
My husband and I did this activity in early September at 8:15 pm so we could see the tower light up at 9 pm. We sat on the left side of the boat to start and then switched to the right side when it turned around near the tower. It was perfect for photos.
Flexible when we missed our scheduled time to book us on the next boat! Not a double decker so didn’t feel crowded and could see the sights unobstructed. Wonderful guide point g out the sights but not too intense about it. All in all, 10/10 experience!
The view is excellent at night with all the museums lit up with lights, and the Eiffel Tower lit up as well.
It is difficult to know exactly where you are to meet. There is a boat there, but you’re not sure if it’s yours since there are other river cruises in the area.
Beautiful at sundown as you get to see the Effiel Tower light up. Perfect time along the Seine. Worth it all👍
A great way to see the grand sites. A good thing to do right when you arrive Paris. Worth while for sure.
Perfect! A beautiful night and a gorgeous sunset! Definitely recommend when you visit Paris! 5 stars
We did the 8:15pm/20:15 sunset cruise with champagne on September 2, and it was so so so beautiful. It is my second time to Paris so I've seen the Eiffel Tower sparkle several times but there is nothing like seeing it sparkle right in front of you as the sun has just set. It got a little blurry for me 🥲 Highly recommend!!!
After a lot of travelling, either by foot or public transport, this was very relaxing. The breeze was just right as was the atmosphere.
We were thrilled with timing of the cruise. It allowed us to fully enjoy the sites lit up. And the crew was wonderful assisting with easy on and off, serving drinks, etc.
This is a MUST DO!!! We booked our experience for the same day we arrived and it was the perfect introduction to the city -- glass of champagne in hand while we saw the beauty of Paris and learned a little bit at the same time.
Definitely worth doing the 8:45pm cruise to watch the lights come on the Eifel Tower- it was truly magical
Overall, we enjoyed this cruise. But have two things that could have been improved.
1. When the cruise is oversold to exceed the number of seats up top, there should be strictly communicated rules against seat saving. People were trying to lay claim over entire rows of empty seats, and were being very aggressive about it. My daughter calls them "Karens". But the boat company should be communicating to them that they can't save seats, and they should have someone up there enforcing that. I chose to move to the bottom rather than risk a fight with an extremely aggressive one. Which is a bummer because there were enough seats for all of those who were moving directly up there to get one, and we arrived early and paid the same ticket price as whoever she was "saving" them for.
2. We wish it would have been timed to pass the Eiffel tower when sparkling. It missed it by 5 minutes.
Perfect before dinner activity. Went on the 7:15 pm cruise. One hour in length. Not crowded as compared to other cruises.
