Taking a cruise along the Seine is undoubtedly the most spectacular, romantic, and poetic way to admire the capital’s treasures. From the historic pier nestled in the Port de la Bourdonnais (75007 Paris), right at the foot of the majestic Eiffel Tower, Croisière Bateaux Parisiens invites you to embark on an exceptional river cruise.

As the ship glides peacefully along the river, the Parisian riverbanks—designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site—are revealed in a whole new light. The ornate bridges, centuries-old palaces, and Gothic facades glide by at a soothing pace, creating a living tableau in the heart of the City of Light. As the undisputed leader in Seine River cruises, Bateaux Parisiens perfectly combines the art of scenic travel with the excellence of French cuisine.

“Cruising down the Seine aboard Bateaux Parisiens offers a unique perspective on the capital, where history, fine dining, and the magic of illuminated monuments come together along the river.”

Dining Cruises: Gourmet Lunches and Dinners

To combine the enchantment of the scenery with culinary delights, these dining cruises offer traditional and refined French cuisine, prepared fresh on board each day using seasonal ingredients. The experience takes place aboard sleek, all-glass vessels that are heated in the winter and air-conditioned in the summer.

Please note: Unlike the Sightseeing Cruise, the meal packages do not include audio commentary on the monuments in order to prioritize a friendly, musical atmosphere. During lunchtime and 8:30 p.m. dinner cruises, a live singer and musicians entertain guests throughout the cruise, even subtly adapting their musical repertoire to the buildings passing by before your eyes.

Package	Departure Time	Duration	Prices (Adult / Child)	Atmosphere & Highlights
Lunch Cruise	12:45 p.m.	2:00 p.m.	79 € / 40 €	Refined French cuisine, live music (singer and musicians), and perfect timing.
Family Dinner Cruise	6:15 p.m.	1 hour 15 minutes	€99 / €40	A fast-paced itinerary suitable for children, ending early, with a calm and friendly atmosphere at sunset.
Romantic Dinner Cruise / Grand Show	8:30 p.m.	2.5 hours	€115 / €40	Live performances, a cozy atmosphere, and a magical view of Paris and the illuminated Eiffel Tower.

Culinary-wise, it’s a feast for the taste buds: the appetizers showcase exquisite dishes such as pan-seared foie gras or foie gras terrine, followed by flavorful cuts of meat or premium fish cooked to perfection. The wine list features superb vintages, notably carefully selected Chardonnay whites. To cap off the meal, the sweet notes reach new heights with exquisite, exceptional desserts created by the renowned Lenôtre. For special occasions (birthdays, marriage proposals), a celebration option allows you to have the dessert brought to the table topped with a sparkling candle, accompanied by a melody played in your honor.

Le Bistro Parisien: A Culinary Break on the Waterfront

For those who want to enjoy a breathtaking view while staying on dry land, the Bistro Parisien welcomes food lovers. This panoramic restaurant, located on the waterfront at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, features a contemporary, glass-walled design that’s perfect for lunch, a drink, or dinner before or after your cruise.
