Cruise & water

About Seine River Cruise

Paris grew up along the Seine, and its banks from the Eiffel Tower to Notre-Dame are listed by UNESCO. A one-hour sightseeing cruise glides past the Louvre, the Musée d'Orsay and the Île de la Cité, where Notre-Dame reopened in 2024 after its restoration, and under bridges such as the gilded Pont Alexandre III.

Daytime cruises are best for photographs; evening cruises catch the Eiffel Tower sparkling. For a special night out, couples can choose a lunch or dinner cruise with a set menu. Let us know about vegetarian or Jain needs in advance.

Most boats board near the Eiffel Tower or the Pont Neuf. It is an easy outing for senior travellers and a good way to see the city on your first evening.
