Dinner and Fireworks along the Seine

Michael_C, Jul 2025

A wonderful dinner cruise on Bastille Day with fireworks at the Eiffel Tour. Boarding was efficient and effortless. Once seated, a glass of champagne, followed by 5-courses of food and a bottle of wine. A cruise along the Seine with live music. Service was unrushed, but never felt as slow - it is Paris. After dinner docked near the Eiffel Tour for the fantastic Fėte Nationale fireworks display.

Bad experience

Constantine_C, Jul 2024

Did not get to go on cruise, directions to the port site was wrong taxi cab in Paris even took us to wrong location, very very upset and pissed off, unbelievable, lost over $550 euros for nothing

Wunderschön!

Angelika_B, Jul 2020

Ausgezeichnet!! Nettes Personal, eine schöne Bootsfahrt und gutes Essen. Vom Dach des Schiffes aus das Feuerwerk zu sehen war auch besonders schön. (14. Juli) Ein tolles Erlebnis!
