Happy Hour Cruise on the Seine – Treat Yourself to Paris at Twilight

Imagine yourself on an elegant boat gently gliding along the Seine, a glass in hand, as the sun sets behind the rooftops of Paris. The Happy Hour Cruise on the Seine is the perfect experience for those who want to savor Paris differently, in a relaxed, warm, and unforgettable atmosphere. Whether you are a regular of the capital or a visitor passing through, this suspended moment will offer you a new perspective on the City of Light.

A Unique Experience in the Heart of Paris

As soon as you step on board, you are welcomed into a world where time seems to slow down. The hustle and bustle of Parisian streets gives way to the gentle lapping of water and the soft light of the day’s end. The cruise begins right in the historic center, at Port de Solférino, just at the foot of the Musée d’Orsay. This prestigious departure point immediately immerses you in the iconic atmosphere of the Seine’s quays.

For 1 hour and 30 minutes, you will sail along the river, discovering the most beautiful Parisian monuments bathed in golden light. Gardens, bridges, and façades take on warm hues, while Paris prepares to light up for the evening. The view of the sparkling Eiffel Tower, the elegance of the Louvre, the silhouette of Notre-Dame, and the charm of Île Saint-Louis offer a spectacle worthy of the most beautiful postcards.

Why Choose This Happy Hour Cruise?

There are countless ways to visit Paris, but this cruise has something truly special. Here’s why it captivates so many:

• A perfect moment to unwind: after a day of work or sightseeing, what could be better than letting yourself be carried by the waves, away from noise and crowds.
• An unbeatable view of the monuments: the Seine is the ideal axis to admire Parisian heritage at your own pace, in the comfort of a boat with a panoramic terrace.
• An aperitif in a unique setting: wine, beer, champagne, or local drinks accompany your cruise, making the moment even more enjoyable.
• A friendly and relaxed atmosphere: the cruise attracts couples, groups of friends, and families alike, creating a warm and shared ambiance.

Timings to Enjoy the Best of the Seine

The Happy Hour Cruise offers two time slots to suit all desires:

• 6:30 PM – The perfect time to admire the sunset over the bridges and monuments, with golden reflections on the water.
• 8:30 PM – The ideal option to discover Paris by night, when the façades light up and the Eiffel Tower sparkles with a thousand lights.

In both cases, you will have the privilege to witness an incomparable natural and architectural spectacle.
