Music and comfort on board

A Bateaux-Mouches dinner cruise is about more than fine food: the atmosphere plays a key role. Throughout the evening, live music blends international standards and romantic melodies. The music gently accompanies your meal and adds to the magic of an evening on the Seine.

The boats' dining rooms offer a warm, elegant setting, with large panoramic windows looking out over Paris by night. To be as close as possible to the windows, the Excellence package includes priority window seating, subject to availability. Soft lighting and attentive service create a chic yet friendly atmosphere, ideal for a romantic getaway or a celebration with loved ones.

By combining music, modern comfort and a magical setting, the Bateaux-Mouches turn a simple cruise into an exceptional moment in the heart of the City of Light.

Sailing conditions

Depending on demand, the weather or technical requirements, your dinner cruise may take place on another boat in the fleet, sometimes without notice. If the Seine floods or the weather is bad, the route may also be adapted to ensure the evening runs smoothly. Whatever the boat, the menus, the length of the cruise and the level of service remain the same: your dinner, your drinks and the live music are guaranteed.

Explore all the other dinner cruises on the Seine

A timeless symbol of Paris, the Bateaux-Mouches dinner cruise has delighted travellers in search of authenticity since 1949, but the capital offers many other floating restaurants for an equally memorable evening. At the foot of the Eiffel Tower, at Port de la Bourdonnais, the large Bateaux Parisiens fleet with its panoramic glass roofs serves top-quality French cuisine. For a more intimate setting, head for the Capitaine Fracasse restaurant barge or the budget-friendly Paris en Scène cruise. Lovers of Italian food will be delighted by the Trattoria en Seine. For an upscale atmosphere, step aboard the VIP Paris yacht, available for private hire, with its gourmet restaurant, the exceptional Diamant Bleu boat or the chic cruise aboard the famous Maxim's de Paris. For a more affordable option, the Paris Seine experience aboard the Marina de Paris restaurant boat offers excellent value for money. The Ivoire bistronomic barge and the prestige cruise aboard the Tosca by Eiffel Croisières complete this fine range of river experiences.

Common questions

How much does a Bateaux-Mouches dinner cruise in Paris cost?

The price depends on the package you choose. The 8:30 pm dinner cruise (2h15) costs €114 for the Harmonie package, €135 for the Prestige package and €170 for the Excellence package. Children aged 4 to 12 pay a single price of €45 with a dedicated menu. Special prices apply on special dates: the New Year's Eve dinner cruise, Valentine's Day and the Bastille Day cruise on 14 July, fireworks included.

What is the Harmonie package?

The Harmonie package is reserved for authorised Bateaux-Mouches resellers: you won't find it on the company's official website. It is the most affordable way to enjoy the 8:30 pm dinner cruise, with the same boat, the same route and the same live music. It includes a kir and an amuse-bouche, a starter, a main course, cheese or dessert, a glass of wine (or a soft drink), water and coffee or tea.

What is the difference between the Harmonie, Prestige and Excellence packages?

All three packages share the same departure time, the same route and the same live music. What changes is the meal, the drinks and the seating:

  • Harmonie (€114): kir and amuse-bouche, starter, main course, cheese or dessert, a glass of wine.
  • Prestige (€135): aperitif and amuse-bouches, starter, main course, cheese or dessert, from 5 choices, a bottle of wine for two.
  • Excellence (€170): glass of champagne and amuse-bouches, starter, main course, cheese and dessert, from 5 choices, a bottle of wine for two from more prestigious estates (Montagne-Saint-Émilion or Chablis), and priority window seating, subject to availability.
    Water and coffee or tea are included in all packages.

Do I need to book a Bateaux-Mouches dinner cruise in advance?

Yes, booking in advance is strongly recommended, as for all dinner cruises on the Seine. Restaurant boats are often fully booked, especially on Friday and Saturday evenings, the evenings before public holidays and on special dates. When you book online, you receive your e-ticket instantly.

What time should I arrive before a Seine dinner cruise?

Arrive at least 30 minutes before departure. For the 8:30 pm dinner, boarding opens from 7:30 pm. Restaurant boats run to a strict schedule and cannot wait for latecomers.

Is there a dress code?

Smart dress is required for the Prestige and Excellence packages, "for your enjoyment and that of the other passengers". Avoid shorts, flip-flops and sportswear.

Can I celebrate a birthday on a Bateaux-Mouches dinner cruise?

Of course, it's even a speciality of the house! A birthday option with a slice of cake (chocolate or red berries) can be added on request, from €5 per person.
Good to know: you can also request a sparkling candle on the dessert of the person celebrating, free of charge. That way, everyone remains free to choose their own dessert from the menu. Remember to mention the birthday when you book.

Is the dinner cruise suitable for children?

Yes. Children aged 4 to 12 pay €45 and enjoy a dedicated menu: eggs mayonnaise, chicken supreme with homemade mashed potatoes, chocolate tartlet, with a soft drink.

How long does a Bateaux-Mouches dinner cruise in Paris last?

The dinner cruise lasts 2h15: boarding from 7:30 pm, departure at 8:30 pm and back at the pier at 10:45 pm. The perfect amount of time to enjoy a full meal while admiring Paris by night.

What is the route of the Bateaux-Mouches dinner cruise?

Departing from the Port de la Conférence, at the foot of Pont de l'Alma (Right Bank), the cruise sails up and down the Seine between the tip of the Île aux Cygnes, with its Statue of Liberty, and the tip of the Île Saint-Louis. You will admire, all lit up, the Eiffel Tower, the Trocadéro, Les Invalides, the Musée d'Orsay, the Louvre, the Conciergerie, the Hôtel de Ville and Notre-Dame, passing under Pont Alexandre III, Pont de l'Alma, Pont d'Iéna, Pont Royal and Pont Neuf.

Is the Bateaux-Mouches dinner cruise suitable for vegetarians?

Yes. The Prestige and Excellence menus each offer a vegetarian starter and main course, designed as real dishes rather than simple side dishes. Vegan and gluten-free menus are also available: just mention it when booking.

How do I book a Bateaux-Mouches dinner cruise for a group?

From 10 people up to the private hire of an entire boat, for a private event (wedding, birthday, family party) or a corporate event (seminar, company evening, retirement party), our Seine event specialists are here to help. Request a quote.
Good to know: from 15 people, the Bateaux-Mouches require a single choice of starter, main course and dessert for the whole group (except special diets), to ensure smooth service.

Does a change of boat affect the cruise?

No. If your dinner takes place on another boat in the fleet, the menu, duration and level of service remain the same. Only a flood or bad weather may lead to a slight change of route, always for your comfort and safety.

Bonjour Paris!
One of the best vantage points to see and enjoy Paris as the day turns into night. The Eiffel tower sparkling at night was a great highlight of the cruise. Dinner and service were wonderful.

Service was excellent and the food was tasty, and the live music made the evening even more enjoyable. The sunset and Eiffel Tower light show were the icing on the cake…so to speak😉.
