Bateaux Parisiens, Christmas Dinner Cruise in Paris • Information, Prices and Booking

What to expect

As the captain of the Bateaux Parisiens casts off, the magic of the lights reveals itself through the glass roof of the boat. The panoramic boat, fully glazed, offers you an unbeatable view of the most beautiful monuments of Paris. We invite you to enjoy an exceptional dinner cruise on the Seine to celebrate Christmas with your loved ones on December 24th or 25th.

Come and celebrate Christmas on December 24 2026 aboard the Bateaux-Parisiens. Few boats can boast of offering such a magical view of the Christmas lights in Paris, thanks to an ingenious system of huge windows with invisible frames. You will be able to marvel as you pass under the illuminated bridges of the Capital while savoring a menu specially designed on board for the occasion. The Bateaux-Parisiens are very attached to local cuisine and only cook products carefully selected for their taste, seasonality and origin.

The Bateaux Parisiens offer you:

Boarding at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, left bank
Live musical entertainment with singer and orchestra
A 6-course menu (appetizers, starter, main course, cheese, dessert and sweets)
Drinks (mineral water, coffee, wine and glass of Champagne)
A panoramic view of the illuminated monuments of Paris.

The scalable rates are justified by the location on board the boat.

If you prefer to celebrate Christmas in Paris on December 25 2026, the Bateaux-Parisiens also offer a Christmas lunch on the Seine. For other dates, discover all our offers for a Bateaux Parisiens dinner cruise.

Common questions

Christmas Eve on the Seine in Paris, Bateaux-Mouches or Bateaux Parisiens?

Have you decided to celebrate the night of December 24 aboard a Bateau Mouche but don't know which Christmas dinner cruise to choose in Paris? That of the Bateaux-Parisiens is irreproachable and you will never be disappointed. Its famous competitor, the Bateaux-Mouches company, does not offer a Christmas dinner cruise. The choice is therefore quickly made. Be aware, however, that there are other Christmas Eve cruise options in Paris.

The rate is set at €195 for December 24 and €165 for December 25 2026.

Everything was very good

Everything was very good, from reception to dinner, except the proximity of the tables, left us a bit without privacy. But it was effectively a unique experience. Thanks very much

Hotel was very nice and the staff was very friendly. Everything was clean. Floors were a little squeeky but the hotel is older but it adds to the character.
