More dinner cruises to discover on the Seine in Paris

The Capitaine Fracasse offers a friendly, welcoming experience departing from Port de Javel Haut. To compare or extend the experience, several other floating restaurants await you. At the foot of the Iron Lady, the large panoramic restaurant of the Bateaux Parisiens and its gourmet menu remains a benchmark, as does the Bateaux-Mouches company at the Pont de l'Alma. For a relaxed, no-frills evening, choose the Paris en Scène panoramic restaurant or the Italian gourmet cruise Trattoria en Seine, aboard the Théo.

Common questions

What is the Capitaine Fracasse?

The Capitaine Fracasse is first and foremost a gourmet experience aboard a floating restaurant cruising on the Seine. It is also the name of a magnificent boat that is the pride of Paris, with a breathtaking terrace.

What is the difference between the Fracasse Package and the Amiral Package?

The menu and the cruise are the same. With the Fracasse Package, drinks are à la carte. The Amiral Package includes a bottle of Pays d'Oc wine (75 cl) for two and a bottle of mineral water.

What menu is served aboard the Capitaine Fracasse?

The Capitaine Fracasse offers all its packages as gift vouchers valid for 12 months. Simply choose the "Give as a gift voucher" tab and follow the steps.

Can I make a group booking on the Capitaine Fracasse?

Groups are welcome and well looked after on the Capitaine Fracasse.

Does the Capitaine Fracasse also offer lunch cruises?

The Capitaine Fracasse does not offer lunch during the week, but if you love brunch in Paris, consider the Capitaine Fracasse Seine Brunch, every Sunday: boarding at 12:00 pm, departure at 12:30 pm and return to the dock at 2:15 pm.

Does a change of boat affect the length or route of the cruise?

No. If your dinner takes place aboard the River Palace, the menu, duration and route remain the same. Only a flood or bad weather may lead to a slight adjustment of the route, always for your comfort and safety.

See Paris in the splendor of nightfall

My first time in Paris. There was so much to do.
I booked the night time river cruise to see the city in night mode.
It was beautiful.
I recommend adding a night cruise to your itinerary for Paris. It was so beautiful.
Staff did an excellent job and food was great.

It was one of the best meals of my life. I got to experience a whole slew of new foods. Some weren't for me, like Foie Gras, but the beef wellington was the best meal I have ever had! I loved every second of this experience. My waiter was awesome!

Food was good to excellent; service was ok at best - it seemed our server was inexperienced. Boat was excellent, except lights outside the windows significantly diminished visibility due to reflection.
