New Year’s Commented Cruise in Paris
On December 31, 2026, Paris is preparing to experience one of the year’s most iconic evenings. To accompany this special night, the New Year’s Commented Cruise offers a nighttime cruise on the Seine departing from the foot of the Eiffel Tower. During 1h20, passengers can enjoy a different perspective of the capital, in an atmosphere specially designed for New Year’s Eve.
Located in the heart of Paris, this cruise offers a chance to rise above the excitement of the New Year’s Eve celebrations while discovering the city from its river. The Seine provides a privileged viewpoint over several Parisian districts and monuments, while the capital’s lights give the cruise a particularly pleasant atmosphere for a year-end outing.
A Departure at the Foot of the Eiffel Tower
The meeting point is at Port de la Bourdonnais, 75007 Paris, directly at the foot of the Eiffel Tower. This area is one of the capital’s most recognizable locations and provides a setting particularly suited to an evening dedicated to New Year’s Eve.
Boarding for this cruise takes place at pier no. 3. This information should be kept carefully in mind when preparing for the outing in order to go directly to the correct boarding area.
The site can notably be accessed from Bir-Hakeim, Trocadéro and RER C – Champs 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 nearly two hours, participants can temporarily leave the hustle and bustle of the streets behind to discover Paris from the water.
The cruise also provides an opportunity to enjoy a more contemplative atmosphere before continuing the New Year celebrations. The illuminated capital, the Seine riverbanks and the monuments visible from the boat create a setting that is particularly well suited to an outing with family or friends.
This package can therefore appeal to people who wish to include an original activity in their December 31 evening. It allows them to begin the New Year’s Eve celebrations with a sightseeing and festive experience, rather than remaining solely in one fixed location.
A Gourmet Treat for Each Participant
The package also includes an individual box per person, designed to accompany the cruise. It notably includes savoury and sweet preparations as well as gourmet treats intended to make the journey more convivial.
The package communicated includes a sesame bun with smoked salmon, a duck foie gras navette with mango chutney, a 20 cl bottle of Pommery Pop Champagne and macarons per person, as well as party favors. These treats provide an opportunity to enjoy a small gourmet break during the cruise.
The party favors 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?
December 31 is a particularly popular date for tourist and festive activities in Paris. There are many options for outings, and time slots organized especially for New Year’s Eve may be more limited than those on a regular day.
For this reason, booking in advance allows you to plan your evening with greater peace of mind and incorporate the cruise into your New Year’s programme. It is also a way to plan your arrival at Port de la Bourdonnais and your journey to pier no. 3.
As the departure is scheduled for 10:45 p.m., you should also allow enough time to reach the boarding location and complete the access checks. The practical information currently published indicates that boarding takes place 45 minutes before departure.
An Experience to Share
The New Year’s Commented Cruise can be enjoyed as an outing to share with loved ones. With friends, family or in a group, the cruise combines discovering Paris with a festive moment in an unusual setting.
The departure from the Eiffel Tower also provides an easily identifiable meeting point. After the cruise, everyone can continue their evening according to their own plans and carry on celebrating the arrival of 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.
