New Year's Eve Commented Cruise in Paris
On 31 December 2026, Paris gets ready to live one of the most iconic evenings of the year. To accompany this special night, the New Year's Eve Commented Cruise offers a night-time outing on the Seine departing from the foot of the Eiffel Tower. For 1h20, passengers can enjoy a different view of the capital, in an atmosphere specially designed for New Year's Eve.
Set in the heart of Paris, this cruise lets you step back from the New Year's Eve bustle while discovering the city from its river. The Seine offers a privileged viewpoint over several Parisian districts and monuments, while the city lights make the cruise particularly enjoyable for an end-of-year outing.
A departure at the foot of the Eiffel Tower
The meeting point is at Port de la Bourdonnais, 75007 Paris, right at the foot of the Eiffel Tower. This area is one of the most recognisable places in the capital and provides a particularly fitting setting for a New Year's Eve evening.
Boarding for this cruise takes place at pontoon no. 3. Keep this information handy when preparing your outing so you go straight to the right boarding area.
The site can be reached from Bir-Hakeim, Trocadéro and RER C – Champ de Mars – Tour Eiffel. Paid parking is also available, subject to availability.
A different way to celebrate New Year's Eve
New Year's Eve is often associated with restaurants, parties and gatherings. A cruise on the Seine offers a different alternative: for 1h20, participants can briefly leave the bustle of the streets behind and discover Paris from the water.
The cruise also offers a more contemplative atmosphere before continuing the New Year celebrations. The illuminated capital, the banks of the Seine and the monuments visible from the boat create a setting that is particularly well suited to an outing with family or friends.
This option can therefore suit those who want to include an original activity in their 31 December evening. It lets you start New Year's Eve with a sightseeing and festive experience, rather than staying in one fixed place.
A gourmet treat for each participant
The package also includes an individual box per person, designed to accompany the cruise. It includes savoury and sweet treats to make the crossing even more convivial.
The package includes a smoked salmon sesame bun, a duck foie gras navette with mango chutney, Pommery Pop 20 cl champagne and macarons per person, as well as party favours. These treats let you enjoy a little gourmet break during the cruise.
The party favours also add a playful touch to this special New Year's Eve outing and highlight the exceptional nature of the date.
Why book in advance?
31 December is a particularly sought-after date for sightseeing and festive activities in Paris. There are many outing options, and slots organised specially for New Year's Eve can be more limited than on an ordinary day.
That's why booking ahead lets you prepare your evening with peace of mind and fit the cruise into your New Year programme. It's also a way to plan your arrival at Port de la Bourdonnais and your way to pontoon no. 3.
As departure is set at 10:45pm, you should also allow time to reach the boarding point and go through security checks. The practical information currently published indicates boarding 45 minutes before departure.
An experience to share
The New Year's Eve Commented Cruise can be seen as an outing to share with loved ones. With friends, family or as a group, the cruise brings together discovering Paris and a festive moment in an unusual setting.
Departing from the Eiffel Tower also makes it an easy meeting point to find. After the cruise, everyone can continue their evening as they wish and carry on celebrating the New Year.

We enjoyed this New Years Eve cruise. Compared to everything else out there it was very good value. I was skeptical while boarding because the line was extremely long (as with all lines in Paris) but once on the boat it wasn’t overly crowded. There are seats indoors and outdoors but the views are much better outside. The favor bags were actually very nice and people got into the spirit, wearing their hats and blowing their party favors. The only disappointment was that we didn’t see many of the big landmarks, probably because of our departure point. But ending at the Eiffel Tower at midnight was spectacular and something I will always remember. Highly recommended.
