Loved our evening cruise on an elegant boat with very good food. All staff were excellent and encouraged us to spend time on deck viewing beautiful sites including the Eiffel Tower lit up. Perfect timing for sunset. Would highly recommend.

We had a wonderful time on this boat! 5 adults and 2 children! We absolutely loved it! The food was great! The music was great! And the staff were wonderful!! We could go up top at various times of the night. Then back down to our table. The children loved the experience and so did we! The best part of our 4 night stay in Paris! I will definitely do this again! Thank you Mathew our lovely waiter!

Evening on the Seine

shaun_M, Jul 2026
Wonderful, right from stepping on the boat looked after, food, drink and a lovely ambiance. Paris at night lit up is an unforgettable experience that will never be forgotten

Wonderful Dinner Cruise

Jessica_P, Jul 2026
We were on the later dinner seating, the views were amazing, the food was tasty and the service was great. The deck was perfect to view the beautiful views of the city.

Great experience overall...

Blake_G, Jul 2026
Great experience overall but wasn’t too keen on the food.. the start wasn’t to our liking but you can’t please everyone on that front. The staff were great, very friendly. We both had a lovely time and would absolutely recommend it.

Elegant and fun

An unforgettable Paris experience!

Lisa, Jul 2026
Our evening aboard the Capitaine Fracasse was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Paris. From the moment we stepped onto the boat, everything felt special. Cruising along the Seine while watching the city transform from sunset into the sparkling lights of Paris was absolutely breathtaking. The views were spectacular, especially seeing the Eiffel Tower illuminated from the water. It was one of those rare travel moments where you stop, look around, and think “I will remember this forever.” ✨ The dinner exceeded our expectations. The food was beautifully presented and delicious, the atmosphere was relaxed and elegant, and the entire experience felt thoughtfully planned from beginning to end. Enjoying a gourmet meal while floating past some of the most iconic sights in the world is something every visitor to Paris should experience. We were traveling as a family, and this created such a beautiful memory for us. The combination of the scenery, service, food, and ambiance made for a perfect Paris evening. Thank you to the Capitaine Fracasse team for giving us a night we will never forget. Highly recommend and absolutely five stars! ❤️🇫🇷🥂

The additional cost to...

Jennifer_K, Jul 2026
The additional cost to upgrade to he Amiral Package was well worth it. We had excellent service, friendly staff, and this package allowed us to use the rooftop to take in the sights and have amazing views. We were celebrating an anniversary and were surprised with a bonus dessert, which was a lovely ending to the evening!

Lovely Evening on the Seine

Wonderful service and food. The experience was more than we were expecting and a top memory from our recent trip to Paris. Well done!

Captain fracasse Seine river cruise

Bruno_D, Jun 2026
Nicer to sit by a window, service was great , the music played was not very good it got on our nerves

Had to pay more for the beef ... wasn't the cruise expensive enough?

David_E, Jun 2026
Great cruise, but being asked to spend more $ for the beef option just cheapened the whole experience. If you must, just charge a few $ more for the cruise. The entire food menu should be included in the price on these cruises.

Picturesque

Brandy_H, Jun 2026
The food was excellent, great way to view iconic landmarks. Romantic. Excellent service. It was wonderful, the only thing that would have made it better is announcements on upcoming sites. Also we purchased the more expensive package and requested a window seat but were seated interior. Still very much enjoyed the cruise.

SigurdurFreyr_J, Jun 2026
Very nice sailing and good food. Only thing we can suggest is that people should be able to go self to the bar instead of waiting for service

Food very good. A nice...

Phil, Jun 2026
Food very good. A nice cruise but it would have been enhanced if there had been some commentary about the places we passed. We were fortunate that we had a window table and so could enjoy the views.

Thanks Amir

Todd_A, Jun 2026
Wanted to give my family a Seine experience that was a step up from just taking a boat ride but was concerned the food and experience might be like average food buffet. . This experience was way more than expected. First, if you’re lucky enough to get Amir, more vip concierge than server, your experience will be that much better. Traveled with wife and teenage boys who Amir kept entertained and engaged with teen jokes, teasing and history as well as access to the bridge with the captain. He was engaging as well. The food was amazing. Really!! Pleasant surprise with appropriate portion sizes. Great evening for all of us!

Highlight of our trip

Vincent_P, Jun 2026
This is an excellent cruise The sights on the Sienne are stunning, especially the Eiffel Tower at night. After dinner there is plenty of time to go topside and take great pictures

Perfect night in Paris

Carrington_A, Jun 2026
I was concerned when I booked that this would feel like a bunch of random people stuffed on a boat with generic mass produced food. My kids and I decided to upgrade to the beef for dinner and we loved our meals. My husband had the fish and was also pleasantly surprised (he had never tried the kind of fish they were offering but liked it so much he ordered it elsewhere on our trip). The food was all very good and my family all left stuffed. Once we went to the roof of the boat there was enough space for everyone to stand without feeling like we were all stuffed into one place. We took some of the best pictures of our two week vacation, on this dinner cruise. I messaged the tour a few days in advance and told them this would be our 20th anniversary and hoped we could get a table by the window. I'm not sure if that changed anything but our view was perfect. Our server was wonderful. He was so gracious and accommodating. We got there early to be in the front part of the line but when they seated us it did seem as though table arrangements had already been assigned so it didn't matter where we were in the physical line. They sent out a link that day to pre-arrange taxi's with their partner. We didn't do it because we wanted to walk around after the cruise, but that would have been great if we wanted to leave directly after the cruise.

Bonjour Nancy, Thank you for your feedback! It is a pleasure to read that you ejoyed the views, the quality of dinner, and that you found our staff attentive to your needs. We wish you a pleasant day. Best regards, Capitaine Fracasse

Good for older kids, teens and families

Susan_H, Jun 2026
The service was very good on the boat and the food was good also. We had grandparents, parents, and 3 teenagers with us. The teens weren't too excited about it, but the fact that they could go up onto the upper level made it fun for them. The teens were 15, 18, and 19. My husband and I have been on another more expensive Seine dinner cruise in the past with a glass ceiling and a lounge singer. We really enjoyed that one, but the teens would have been bored. They ended up really liking it, mostly due to the views from the top. It kept them entertained to go between the dinner table and the top level of the boat, which was all open.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Hello Susan, Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. We are happy to read that you and all members of the family have enjoyed the cruise and the upper deck. We do hope to welcome you back again on you next visit! Best regads, Capitaine Fracasse

A special gift to yourself

Sharon_A, Jun 2026
This is a special gift you can give yourself when in Paris. Dinner is pleasant, and feels wonderful. The crew is super friendly and although there are many people, it feels spacious and we felt like special guests. In between we could go up to the deck and see all the attractions around the Seine.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Dear Sharon, We would like to thank you for taking the time to write us a review. We are happy to see that the experience was to your liking and that you enjoyed the atmosphere and the dinner on board. The staff will be delighted to read your comments about their friendliness.

A Very Memorable, Special Evening in Paris on the Seine

Christopher_H, May 2026
We booked this experience during our visit to Paris to celebrate our anniversary. The dinner was excellent. The views were amazing. We were blessed with great weather. The team onboard let us know when certain views were coming up that we may want to go out and see on the upper deck. The length of the tour was just right, not too short and not too long. The bottle of red wine was good. We finished our voyage just as the Eiffel Tower began twinkling at 11pm. We appreciate the team and would recommend this experience for those looking for a very special evening on the Seine.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Bonjour! We would like to thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are happy to read that you enoyed the views in a great weather and that the service was up to your standards. We hope to welcome you back again on your next visit in Paris! Best regards, Le Capitaine Fracasse

Very Nice Seine Dinner Cruise.
