Common questions

What are the prices for a dinner cruise with Bateaux-Mouches in Paris?

The price of a dinner cruise with the Compagnie des Bateaux-Mouches depends on the departure time and the duration of the cruise. The 8:30 PM dinner cruise, lasting 2 hours and 15 minutes, costs €130 for the Prestige menu and €165 for the Excellence menu. Children (ages 3 to 12) benefit from a reduced rate of €45 for both departure times. Please note that special rates apply for specific dates such as New Year’s Eve, Valentine’s Day, and Bastille Day (due to the fireworks display).

Do you need to book a dinner cruise on the Bateaux-Mouches in advance?

This advice applies to all dinner cruise companies on the Seine: advance booking is highly recommended, otherwise you may find the boat fully booked. Dinner cruises on the Seine are in high demand, especially on Friday and Saturday evenings, the night before public holidays, and on special dates.

What time should you arrive before a dinner cruise on the Seine?

It is recommended to arrive at least 30 minutes early before the scheduled departure time. Dinner cruise boats must stick to a strict timetable and cannot wait for latecomers.

Is it possible to celebrate a birthday during a Bateaux-Mouches dinner cruise?

Absolutely—it’s even one of their specialties! A birthday option can be added upon request, including a slice of cake (chocolate or red fruit) starting from €5 per person.
Good to know: you can request to have a sparkler added to the chosen dessert of the birthday guest. It’s free and allows everyone to choose whichever dessert they prefer from the menu.

How long is a Bateaux-Mouches dinner cruise in Paris?

The duration depends on the departure time. Bateaux-Mouches offers a short dinner cruise at 6 PM, lasting 1 hour and 15 minutes, ideal for early diners and families with young children. The 8:30 PM cruise is significantly longer, lasting 2 hours and 15 minutes.

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

Departing from the Port de la Conférence at the Pont de l’Alma (Right Bank), the dinner cruise will take you past all the major landmarks visible from the Seine and beneath some of the most prestigious bridges in Paris—from the tip of the Île aux Cygnes and its Statue of Liberty to the tip of the Île Saint-Louis. You’ll admire, beautifully lit, the Louvre Museum, the Orsay Museum, the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame Cathedral, the Trocadéro, and the Conciergerie. Iconic bridges like Pont Neuf, Pont Royal, Pont de l’Alma, and Pont d’Iéna will also be part of the journey.

What is the difference between the Prestige and Excellence menus?

The Excellence Menu (€165) features even finer ingredients as well as wines and champagnes from more prestigious houses than the Prestige Menu (€130). Both options include a choice of 5 starters, 5 main courses, and 5 desserts, along with an aperitif, one bottle of wine per two guests, one bottle of water per two guests, and coffee or tea. By selecting the Excellence Menu, you are also guaranteed a window-side table.

Is the Bateaux-Mouches dinner cruise suitable for vegetarians?

Yes! The head chef of the Compagnie des Bateaux-Mouches makes it a point to satisfy vegetarians and vegans—not just with side dishes. Simply ask for the vegetarian options for starters, main courses, and desserts when ordering.

How can you book a Bateaux-Mouches dinner cruise for a group?

For groups of more than 10 people, including full boat rentals—whether for private events (weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, Mother’s Day, etc.) or professional events (retirement parties, year-end celebrations, seminars)—you should consult our Seine event specialists and request a quote.
Good to know: for groups of 15 or more, Bateaux-Mouches requires a single choice of starter, main course, and dessert for the entire group (except for special dietary requirements) to ensure smooth and efficient service.

Does changing boats affect the cruise duration or itinerary?

No, a change of boat does not impact the duration or the planned itinerary of your cruise. You will enjoy the same route and services regardless of the vessel.

Dinner with a view
Dinner on the Seine was a great way to have a good dinner (attentive service and excellent food) along with views of many of the important historical sites along the river. We paid extra to have a window table and did get one as promised, but it was close to a bulkhead that restricted our forward view. The entertainment was first class (piano and violin) without being too interruptive.
