Claire_Y, Mar 2026
Very good value and great food.
Our waiter was great and fun.
Offered to take lots of photos.
We couldn't go the direction we booked for as river was too high but got return tickets

This was the highlight of our Paris trip. It was the last thing we did on our holiday, and what a way to end it.
The food was amazing, absolutely delicious and well presented. I had Foie Gras, beef, and lemon meringue tart. Yum!
The drinks were never ending, and if I had any complaints, it’s that we weren’t able to finish it all!
The staff were lovely and very accommodating.
Views - as to be expected - were phenomenal. I wish announcements were made of what was coming up on the sight line, but I understand that as a dining experience it’s not the main priority.
The ride itself wasn’t bumpy or rocky. I get sea sick easily, and barely felt a thing!
Next time I go to Paris this is a sure fire booking for me, I cannot wait to go back in future!

A fantastic way to see some major landmarks while experiencing a delicious high-end meal!! I would definitely recommend. We didn’t even mind that it was a rainy day!
Troy_J, Feb 2026
Not much can be said. The previous day's rain made the Seine too high for the cruise ship to pass under a bridge that would have taken us to all the important sites. The ship took us on a 2 hour cruise in the opposite direction. The sites were the MAIN reason for us taking the cruise for the photo opportunities. Thus I was very disappointed. We received vouchers for a return trip, but we came all the way from the United States.

My daughter and I did the lunchtime sightseeing cruise on our first full day in Paris. The food was delicious and paired well with the different wines. The scenery was amazing, and got us oriented to the city at the beginning of our weeklong stay. Highly recommend!
Daniella_P, Feb 2026
Well worth the money! There isn’t a bad seat on the boat. No matter where you sit, you’re able to see everything. Plus the boat goes back around the other side of the river so whichever side you’re facing you won’t miss anything. The food was delicious and the service was great! Our waiter didn’t speak fluent English, but was incredibly kind and provided wonderful service. There are also opportunities to go outside on the deck and take some nice photos there. Overall a great experience! I would like to do it again for the evening tour.

Great experience! The food was plentiful and delicious. We sat by the window so it was quite warm so don’t dress for the cold inside.

Food far exceeded our expectations, we received a cocktail on boarding, a bottle of wine with lunch and unlimited bottled sparkling water. Service was very friendly and efficient.
We were blessed with a gorgeous, warm sunny day which enhanced our experience even more.
Highly recommended.

Great dining experience. Nice way to see the major sights from the Siene. Would recommend. There were no kids meal options but it worked out fine.
Mark_M, Dec 2025
The food was very good, however I don't know that the upgraded seats were worth it since our view was still obstructed by the beams above.
Marion_K, Dec 2025
My husband and I had our Christmas Eve lunch on the bateaux, and it was wonderful. The service was excellent, and the staff were extremely attentive. A lovely romantic experience, and we will be doing this again when we are back in Paris.
John_L, Dec 2025
Highly recommended Seine River cruise, it is a very well decorated and newly modernized boat which could seat 500 passengers. The lunch is high-quality French cuisine and nicely presented. Boat is with giant glass windows and ceiling which gives the best possible scenic view along the river.
Tamara_Y, Dec 2025

Linn_S, Dec 2025
