Do I need to book the Bateaux Parisiens lunch cruise?
Coming without a reservation at noon is always possible but it is very risky because the lunch cruises of the most famous boat-restaurant company on the Seine are often sold-out. It is therefore advisable to book as early as possible in order to guarantee your table.
What are the differences between lunch options?
The differences between the Etoile, Privilege and Premier options are found mainly in the quality of the wines and in the location on board the boat, either in the center, by the bay window or at the bow. Good to know: the Premier package gives access to the VIP area at the bow of the boat on round tables, but that does not necessarily mean that you will be seated directly next to a window! But don't let that slow you down in your choice of excellence: the prow of the Bateaux Parisiens is fully glazed from floor to ceiling and the passage under the bridges is all the more magical.
