Your cruise may operate on a different boat

The photos shown on this page are provided for illustrative purposes by our partner.

The service you booked will remain unchanged to ensure your comfort and safety in the best possible conditions.

About your New Year’s Eve Dinner Cruise in Paris

Boarding will begin at 7:30 PM at pontoons no. 5 or no. 7. Don’t worry—they’re very easy to find: right at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, in front of the Pont d’Iéna, facing the Trocadéro. Simply go down the large staircase on your right. The pontoons are located at the far-right end of the Bateaux Parisiens boarding quay.

Boats will depart at 9:00 PM sharp. Please don’t be late—as a smooth cruise depends on a precise departure time.

Return to the quay is scheduled for 12:30 AM, but you are welcome to continue celebrating on board until dawn.

We recommend planning your transportation ahead of time, as taxis on New Year’s Eve are extremely limited.

Smart attire is required to make this evening truly exceptional.

Wonderful New Years Eve dinner cruise.

Live music, great food, great service. For future guests, try to arrange transportation to leave the area back to a hotel ahead of time. We offered our taxi driver 100 euros to pick us up afterwards. He showed up. Others were trying to get Uber and it was too crowded.

Perfect way to spend New Years Eve!

This dinner cruise was amazing. We did it for New years eve. Such a special event. The food was amazing, the views of the Seine and stopping at the Eiffel Tower to watch fireworks from the Arc left my wife and I speechless. Great service. Would do this again 100%.

Lovely evening

Very lovely evening, very pricey for the premier service versus the less expensive with the same food. Still very enjoyable with a wonderful view.

Perfect

The food, live music and service was perfect. But everything ended a bit earlier than expected: the concert ended at 1.30 am.
