Great show poor food
The show is always great. We were disappointed with the dinner. This year they did not have a steak option. I assume it became too expensive to provide steaks although the cost of dinner and shoe were very expensive for what it was. Overall not a great food experience.

As someone with a solo ticket, it was weird to sit at a table of 4 with a couple. And that wasn't mentioned prior in email communications...

Common questions

What is the price of a lunch cruise in Paris?

The price depends on the company and your seat on board. Lunch cruises start at €55 per adult with the Bateau Ivoire; then allow from €62 with Eiffel Croisières, €69 with Paris Seine, €79 with the Bateaux Parisiens and €90 with the Bateaux-Mouches. Premium options, with a window or bow table, cost over €130. Depending on the company, reduced rates are available for children.

Which lunch cruise on the Seine to choose?

The best lunch cruise in Paris will be the one that fills in the most boxes according to your criteria: price, place of embarkation, day of the week, with family, friends or lovers. Some companies only offer brunches on Sundays, such as the Compagnie de la Seine aboard the Capitaine Fracasse. The Bateaux-Mouches provide lunch cruises every weekend and on public holidays. No truce for the Bateaux Parisiens which offer cruises with lunch every day of the week. The location of the pier in Paris can also be decisive and is not the same depending on the company between the Port de Grenelle and the Musée d'Orsay.

What time do the lunch cruises on the Seine depart?

The meeting and departure times as well as the duration of the lunch cruises will depend on the company, but departures generally take place between 12:30 p.m. and 1 p.m. and the durations vary from approximately 1:15 to 2 hours.

What monuments do you see during a cruise with lunch on the Seine?

All the boats will allow you to admire the main monuments along the Seine, starting with the Notre-Dame de Paris Cathedral, the Conciergerie, the Louvre, the Concorde, the Grand Palais or the Eiffel Tower and the Orsay Museum. Some will go as far as the tip of Île aux Cygnes to admire the Statue of Liberty. You will of course pass under the most emblematic bridges of the capital such as the Pont des Arts, the Pont d'Iena or the Pont Neuf. Attention, the routes are always given as an indication and depend on the level of the Seine as well as any external element likely to endanger the safety of the passengers.

Should I book a lunch cruise in Paris in advance?

In general, booking is strongly recommended because it protects you against the risk of finding yourself in front of a sold out boat.
