What a fantastic cruise! Very friendly staff, great service, excellent quality Champagne, wines and dishes. We didn't expect this high level of quality on a tourist boat! Compliments.

I would highly recommend this cruise. The food was excellent and you don’t walk away hungry. The wine was delicious. After seeing several other boats go past us I knew we made the right choice. It was spendy, but worth every penny. I had the beef, it was so tender, like butter. My husband had the chicken and said it was great.

Best birthday gift ever!
This was a wonderful experience to celebrate my sister's birthday! My mom and sisters were so delighted with our table selection- We chose the window seats with a view- and the selection of food and beverages offered throughout the ride. The boat was very clean and comfortable, and the check-in process was very smooth. I really appreciated the waiting area with seats so that my mother, who is limited mobility, could sit while we waited for departure. I would recommend this boat ride to everyone who is planning to visit Paris!

Our party of 6 did the lunch cruise and it was wonderful. This was our 1st cruise and the staff was extremely helpful and accommodating to additional request. The host on board gave us extra attention and explained some of the places as we sailed by. We'll do again.

We had a lovely cruise on the Seine
We had a lovely cruise on the Seine. Sophie was a wonderful waitress, efficient and cheerful; also sympathetic and supportive when we were emotional upon seeing Notre Dame cathedral after its fire. The food was delicious, as was the wine, and the entertainment was extremely pleasant. It would have been nice if the recorded commentary had been more clear and informative, nevertheless we will recommend your cruises to all our friends.

Our lunch cruise was the high-light of our stay. The staff were extremely polite and helpful. We missed a train and were a little late but were very relieved to see that the boat held on a few minuties for us. The trip would certainly have not been the same had we literary 'missed the boat'. We will most definately come again. We have made recommendations to all our friends.

Bonjour
I wish I was enjoying Paris! However, it is my brother and his wife that are enjoying your beautiful city at present.
They have just emailed me to say they had a beautiful lunch on the Seine. “Magnifique formidable” he says.
My husband and I purchased the lunch for them to celebrate their 50th birthdays.
Many thanks for your wonderful service. My husband and I can’t wait to get back to France and when we do we will definitely love to do the river cruise too.
Au revoir!

Definitely the best thing we did in Paris, not cheap but top quality staff, vessel, food & wine. A lazy afternoon spent watching the beautiful sights & views of Paris go drifting by. Not sure what to expect when you book something like this but from the moment we boarded it felt like we'd turned left on the plane - as they often say you get what you pay for & we definitely got the best here! Highly recommended without hesitation.

Repas excellent, personnel sympathique et professionnel et une jolie croisière qui permet de voir les monuments parisiens sous un autre angle. Et aucune précipitation dans le service. À voir et à faire.

Cadre très agréable service aux petits soins, mention particulière au serveur Joseph qui a su mettre les petits plats dans les grands, ne changez rien. Les gens passent un bon moment, et cela se ressent sur la péniche. Continuez avec fierté votre rôle et votre métier mesdames et messieurs !

Tout était parfait et nous avions même le beau temps. Personnel attentionné et professionnel. Peut être une suggestion : une «  box «  à la sortie pour donner un pourboire pour le service à partager entre les équipes

Un très agréable moment inoubliable . Le service et l’accueil du personnel de bord sont irréprochables et la qualité du repas parfaite.
Nous étions très bien placés coté baie vitrée .
Déjeuner fait à l’occasion d’un anniversaire avec un timing parfaitement réussie de la bougie sur le gâteau face à la Tour Eiffel . Je suis très satisfaite d’avoir choisi les bateaux parisiens pour cet événement.

Parfait. Du début jusqu'à la fin.
Depuis l'accueil au guichet où deux jeunes femmes ont été très agréables, jusqu'au personnel du bateau. Personnel très accueillant, souriant, disponible. Le repas était excellent et très bien présenté. Et le bateau était très propre.

C est bien mais aucun commentaires sur les monuments de Paris
Ce peut être frustrant pour des étrangers

Bateaux très bien, service à bord excellent. Pour le menu, des noms pompeux pour pas grand chose. En entrée, la tranche de foie gras est à peine plus grosse qu'une pièce de 2 euros. En plat il est annoncé "Fondant de bœuf sauce aux cornichons.". On pourrait s'attendre à un pavé de bœuf (filet)mais bizarre avec une telle sauce. En fait, il s'agit d'un effiloché de pot au feu. Heureusement, le dessert a rattrapé les choses.

Très agréable et bien organisé, déjeuner de qualité mais quantité un peu juste au niveau des accompagnements. Croisières appréciée par tous.

Estuvo bien, pero no me pareció una experiencia tan maravillosa como yo pensaba. Tuvimos un pequeño problema de agua, una filtración del cristal porque ese día llovía. Desde que avisamos hasta que nos cambiaron de mesa, mi pareja se mojo todo el polo y tuvimos que poner una servilleta para que no goteara. Deberían tener más cuidado con esos detalles. No es barato. La comida estuvo bien, pero no para ese precio, sin embargo el postre estaba muy bueno.

Très bon accueil, des serveurs tres agréables et à l'écoute.
Une cuisine de qualité et qui se maintient d'une année sur l'autre avec des menus differents. Continuez comme ça, c'est top!
Peut être pourriez vous proposer de pouvoir prendre un deuxième verre de champagne à la place du vin pour ceux qui ne souhaitent pas de vin.

Editorial Review

A lunch cruise: a delightful experience blending gastronomy and the charm of Paris.

The lunch cruise on the Parisian boats is a unique experience that combines the beauty of the Seine's landscapes with French gastronomy. As you glide along these tranquil waters, you are immersed in an atmosphere unlike any other, where history and modernity meet. Iconic landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, and Notre-Dame Cathedral reveal themselves from a new perspective, offering an unparalleled panorama that illuminates as you progress along the river.

Culinary-wise, these cruises are often orchestrated by talented chefs who present varied menus celebrating the flavors of the region. There is a perfect fusion of tradition and innovation, all set in an enchanting backdrop. The meal is typically accompanied by impeccable service, adding a touch of refinement to the experience.

Lunch cruises attract not only tourists eager for discovery but also Parisians looking to rediscover their city from a different angle. It’s a delightful way to escape the urban hustle while enjoying a moment of relaxation. Laughter and conversations, mingled with the gentle sound of water, create a friendly and warm ambiance.

Whether it's a romantic outing, a family gathering, or a day with friends, this experience is truly enchanting. A lunch cruise is more than just a meal: it’s an invitation to savor both French cuisine and the splendor of Paris. A moment of joy to be cherished in memory, and perhaps, one to be repeated each season, as it is steeped in magic.
