If you arrive too early, the dock may appear to be out of service, but it is the dock on the left shortly past the bottom of the steps from the Pont du Bir-Hakeim on the All. des Cygnes. The food was delicious, the service was excellent and the views weee marvelous, especially near the end when you see the mini Statue of Liberty with the Tour Eiffel in the background. Our waiter Enzo was wonderful and the whole evening just delightful! I would definitely recommend this dinner cruise!

Great Dinner Cruise!

Kristin_N, Apr 2026
Friendly and attentive staff. Had a great time! We saw many sights. Would absolutely recommend this excursion.

Day cruise and better dining option a better option.

Slaine_N, Mar 2026
The boat was very comfortable. We did not embark on time however and had to wait in the cold night for half an hour before boarding. Food was so so.

A Beautiful and Tasty Cruise!

Excellent Views

Janaye_J, Mar 2026
A great experience and a fun and relaxing way to see the city at sunset. Make sure you journey up to the top deck for perfect views of the Eiffel Tower all lit up and sparkling. Our server was attentive and the food was great!

Such fantastic service

18th birthday party

Anna_S, Jan 2026
My daughter celebrated her 18th birthday in a very magical way;enjoying Paris lights and monuments from the river. Dinner was delicious, choice of menu very good as vines. Beautiful atmosphere

All aboard!

Gerry_A, Jan 2026
Fun Seine river cruise with sumptous 3 course meal. Staff are very hospitable and friendly. It was my birthday and staff made my evening special plus you get to see Paris favorite landmarks via the river cruise. Highly recommended when in Paris.

Great views, delicious food, but pricey.

Lydia_W, Jan 2026
Really fantastic view of the city, food was exceptional. It was quite a lot of money at £321 and we had a bill at the end for another $100 euros for a drink each and supplement food charges. we felt it was a bit much, we understand it was a supplement for a more expensive meal choice, and of course the second beers for 2 people we wouldn’t expect that to be included. But we have just paid out £321, so surely a drink each would be included, we were at their mercy for drinks, even the water wasn’t free. Also there is a professional photographer on board, who makes you do cheesy poses and then tries to sell you the photos after showing you how ghastly you look. The photos were $70 for a set. Other people seemed to enjoy that and bought the photos, it embarrassed us I wish we could have just said no thank you. All the staff were lovely and friendly though.

Fun Night on La Seine!

The best night in Paris!

Shelly_G, Jan 2026
This was hands down my best night in Paris! The food was delicious (and way better and more affordable than dinner at Madame Brasserie which cost me 3 times as much). The atmosphere was beautiful and welcoming. The food portions were generous and so was the wine! The captains Charles and Cedric were absolute gentleman and the top deck views of the city were the most romantic. Book this now and enjoy Paris the way it should be! So affordable and fun!!

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Hello, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that your dinner cruise was such a memorable night and that you enjoyed the food, the atmosphere, and the generous portions. We’ll be sure to pass on your kind words to Captains Charles and Cédric, who will be delighted. We’re also glad you loved the romantic views from the top deck. Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you again very soon for another unforgettable evening on the Seine.

Money well spent.

Lynn_B, Jan 2026
Great excursion! Servers were awesome food was good and floating down the Seine seeing Paris lit up is always amazing. This is our third time.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

A magical, wonderful and unforgettable dinning cruise experience by Le Capitaine Francasse (31st Dec till New Year 2026)

PETER_D, Dec 2025
Me and my family booked this dinner cruise just a few days prior. It was way well worth the money. The best dining cruise experience I & my family ever have. The ambience, the music, the sights, and the food. Of special mention, Muhammed or "Momo" who served us dinner made our evening more memorable, very well.mannered, professional and very hard working (clears 3 to 4 tables in "one swoop"). Very attentive & considerate to our needs. Kudos to momo, the chef, the whole staff and the captain of the ship. 5 of 5 stars. Highly recommended !!! 💯🥰😎🥳🎊🎉👍💪💫 ("mic drop").

Poor service

Trevor_A, Dec 2025
We were sat on boat at our table and watched everyone else be served drinks while no one came to us. Tried several times to get someone's attention but no one even looked at us. Finally stood up and waited at front to talk with person in charge and stood there for over 10 minutes. Then the guy walked away dealing with someone else. Went back to our table and still had no drinks. Other tables at this point were being served bread. Eventually we had to get up and go find person in charge to inform. No one even noticed that we still had not been served. Was very disappointing for an expensive excursion.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Hello, Thank you for sharing your experience. We are sincerely sorry for the lack of attention you encountered and understand how frustrating this must have been, especially for a dinner cruise. This is clearly not the level of service we aim to provide. Your feedback has been shared with our team so we can address this issue and prevent it from happening again. We truly regret the disappointment caused and appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

What a great experience!...

Kyrah_M, Dec 2025
What a great experience! And not just the food or views - despite the tables being incredibly close together, we never felt crowded or overstimulated by people. It was our first experience of the trip after a very long travel day and it was a wonderfully relaxed way to start our Paris adventure.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Hello, Thank you for sharing such a wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed not only the food and the views, but also the relaxed atmosphere on board. Starting your Paris adventure with a calm and enjoyable experience is exactly what we aim for. We hope the rest of your stay in Paris was just as memorable, and we would be happy to welcome you again. Kind regards,

Christmas in Paris!

Sandra_B, Dec 2025
Excellent service & the food was lovely. All in all had a wonderful Christmas Day. Such a special day, thank you

Nice dinner and atmosphere

Richard_H, Dec 2025
Nice dinner with great atmosphere. Food was tasty and attractive. Accommodated food allergies. Sat in the middle so was a little had to see the sites as we travelled down the river. Pamphlet described sites. Photographer available for pictures.

Highly Recommend! Superb!

Robin_G, Dec 2025
Great food, lovely staff, cool sights, great music, highly recommend! Such fun...met nice people...good for all ages....

Fantastic dinner cruise!

Elizabeth_R, Dec 2025
Absolutely fantastic. Easy walk from our hotel. I had added a note because I am pregnant . The host made sure to come by and let me know he saw the note, and went through alternative options available for me since I couldn’t eat some of the standard menu. Entire staff was kind and friendly. Great views- we had a window seat so didn’t even need to move from our spot to see everything but the top deck was available for viewing if desired. Food was great. Definitely a great way to see a highlight of sights! Would go again in a heartbeat

Dinner cruise

Eric_P, Oct 2025
Overall good experience. Nice to see Paris at night. Server was lacking skill. Appetizer was dry but main course was good.

Became ill after dining experience. Denied Refund.

Kaliv_P, Oct 2025
My wife felt ill for several days after having dinner on this cruise. We link it back to the food she ate while on board. We sent a rare burger back from our kids meal which returned over well done. Overall really underwhelming experience and disappointing. We asked for a refund but were denied so having to express our experience on this review.

Not great

Kristina_M, Oct 2025
A lot of people and they don’t start letting you on the boat until the start time. Your isl get than it says. There were large groups that were very loud. Any drink, even water costs extra. Not a lot of food options. I would not book this again but it was a good view of the city from the water, Particularly the Eiffel tower
