Other dinner cruises to try on the Seine

Fancy a different atmosphere? From the same pier, Paris Seine offers a more festive dinner with a live singer. The Bateaux-Mouches remain the must-do Seine dinner, and the Bateaux Parisiens depart from the foot of the Eiffel Tower. For a more relaxed evening, try the Capitaine Fracasse, a friendly restaurant boat, or the Italian cuisine of the Trattoria en Seine aboard the Théo. Finally, Paris en Scène plays the show card.

Fantastic views, music, service, food but plan extra time to find exact boarding spot
Loved the cruise. BUT it was very difficult to find the exact spot for boarding - the map gives a general idea but with lots of boats along the Seine it was impossible to figure out which direction to go once off the bridge. I spent a lot of time, energy and anxiety (and eventually got directions from at the restaurant La Pause Parisienne which is alongside the river). Once boarding everything was fabulous - views, music, service, and as advertised, food and drink.

Exceeded expectations
The food was exquisite. The staff was immaculately attentive and well-trained. The scenery along the Seine was lovely. All in all, wonderful.

I feel that during the cruise a few notes on the sights we were passing by might have helpful.
