The French name for the tour boats is ‘péniches’ or ‘bateaux-mouches’. Specially-designed to provide the best possible view of your surroundings, the tour boats feature huge glass panels which allow passengers to admire Paris’s beautiful monuments and architecture. You can expect excellent on-board service and a clear view of the city sights on your cruise along the most famous river in France with Bateaux Mouches or Bateaux Parisiens. Check our reviews about the best cruise on the Seine.

Cruises take place all day every day, the first tour boats setting off early in the morning and the last Dinner Cruises starting late at night. Take a look at our selection of cruises offered by different companies – you’ll definitely understand why France’s capital city grew around this beautiful river. The cruises also feature on our list of the top 10 things to do in Paris!

For groups of more than 11 people, we can help to organise your events and offer the option of private boats. For end-of-year celebrations, we offer special Christmas and New Year cruises.

Seeing the fireworks here was once in a lifetime experience. The flames near the bottom fountain were great. You can feel the heat if you are walking by. The scenery, the music, and fireworks make you feel like you traveled back in time. I recommend this to everyone. The fountain shows unlike anything I have ever seen before. I loved this so much.

Excellent way to see some of the major sites when only in Paid for a few hours ... and in the middle of a heatwave! Booked online, walked straight into the boat, plenty of space and even managed to find a shady spot on the deck!

Common questions

What’s the best Seine River cruise in Paris?

It depends on what kind of experience you're looking for.

  • For a romantic evening in Paris, a dinner cruise on the Seine is a perfect choice: a gourmet meal on the water, breathtaking views of iconic landmarks, and a refined musical ambiance (sometimes even live music!).
  • If you’re visiting for the first time and want a quick overview of the city, a 1-hour sightseeing cruise (often around 75 minutes) is ideal.
  • Looking for a middle ground? Try a lunch cruise—less expensive and shorter than a dinner cruise, but still a delightful way to enjoy the Seine, especially on sunny days.

How long does a Seine River cruise last?

  • A sightseeing cruise lasts around 1 hour and 15 minutes and gives you a great introduction to Paris’ major monuments.
  • A lunch cruise usually takes between 1.5 and 2 hours, offering a relaxing mid-day break with food and views.
  • A dinner cruise can last from 1 hour and 15 minutes up to 2 hours and 45 minutes, depending on the company and the menu—perfect for a full evening experience.

Where do Seine River cruises depart from?

Most cruise departure points are centrally located, near some of Paris’ most famous landmarks:

  • Pont de l’Alma, on the Right Bank, is where the iconic Bateaux Mouches cruises start.
  • Port de la Bourdonnais, at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, is the boarding point for Bateaux Parisiens, one of the city’s most popular operators.
  • On the Left Bank, the same port (near the Orsay Museum) is also used by Paris Seine cruises.
  • The Île aux Cygnes, near the Radio France building, is where the Capitaine Fracasse cruise boards.
  • Finally, Pont Neuf, the oldest bridge in Paris, is a boarding point for several sightseeing and private cruises.
    Good to know: All these locations are easily reachable by metro, taxi, or on foot.

How much does a Seine River cruise cost?

Prices vary depending on the type of cruise and the provider:

  • Sightseeing cruises start at around €15 per adult—a very affordable way to explore Paris.
  • Lunch cruises generally cost between €55 and €150, depending on the menu and the level of comfort.
  • Dinner cruises, more elaborate and often including live music or romantic setups, start around €59 and can go up to €250 for gourmet or luxury options.
    Tip: Book online in advance to get the best prices and secure a good seat on board.

Are Seine cruises available at night?

Absolutely! Evening cruises offer magical views of Paris lit up at night.
Dinner cruises are perfect for a romantic experience, but sightseeing cruises are also available until 11 PM in most cases.

Can you take a Seine River cruise all year round?

Yes. Cruises operate all year long, including on public holidays. Boats are heated in winter and air-conditioned in summer, ensuring comfort in every season.

Are Seine cruises suitable for children?

Yes, all Seine River cruises welcome children, and many offer reduced fares for kids.
However, note that some dinner cruise menus don’t offer special pricing for children.

Is there a dress code for Seine dinner cruises?

  • Sightseeing cruises have no dress code—come as you are.
  • For dinner cruises, a smart casual outfit is recommended. Avoid flip-flops, sportswear, and beach attire for this elegant experience.

Are cruises canceled when it rains?

No. All boats are equipped with covered and heated areas.
Cruises may only be postponed in rare cases of extreme weather or river flooding.

What landmarks can you see during a Seine River cruise?

A cruise along the Seine gives you a unique perspective on some of Paris’ most famous landmarks, viewed from the water:

  • The Eiffel Tower, the symbol of Paris, dominates the skyline.
  • The Louvre Museum, once a royal palace and now home to the Mona Lisa.
  • The Notre-Dame Cathedral, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture.
  • The Orsay Museum, housed in a former train station, famous for its impressionist art.
  • The Conciergerie, a medieval fortress that once served as a royal palace and prison.
  • And of course, some of the city’s most beautiful bridges: the elegant Pont Alexandre III, the historic Pont Neuf, and the artistic Pont des Arts.
