Why choose between sightseeing and a leisurely lunch? A Seine River lunch cruise allows you to do both. Take in panoramic views of the city while indulging in a delicious meal – no walking, no rushing, just a blend of exploration and relaxation.
There’s nothing quite like gliding along the Seine and seeing Paris bathed in daylight. The Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, the Louvre, and the Musée d’Orsay stand out even more under the sun, creating a stunning backdrop for your cruise. Add in the lush greenery along the riverbanks and the gentle buzz of the city, and you’ve got a front-row seat to Paris at its best.
Onboard chefs whip up delectable French dishes using fresh, seasonal ingredients. Imagine savoring duck confit, grilled salmon, or other perfectly prepared entrées, paired with freshly baked artisanal bread and heavenly desserts like chocolate mousse or fruit tarts. Top it off with a glass of French wine or a refreshing drink, and you’ve got the recipe for a truly unforgettable midday treat.
A lunch cruise is a perfect way to unwind and escape the crowds while still enjoying Paris’s highlights. Seated in a comfortable, elegant dining space, you can enjoy excellent service and the gentle sway of the boat as it glides through the city.
Unlike the bustling streets, the Seine provides a peaceful vantage point to observe Paris’s charm. During the day, you can see the city’s vibrant energy – from artists painting along the quays to locals enjoying riverside strolls. The view from the water reveals the city’s beauty in a way you can’t experience on land.
The Eiffel Tower, Paris’s 330-meter crown jewel since the 1889 World’s Fair, stuns with its intricate ironwork and iconic presence on the skyline.
Yes, operators offer the option to select specific seats, especially for premium packages. Window-side tables, offering the best views, are highly recommended and often come at an additional cost.
Absolutely! Most Seine River lunch cruises cater to dietary preferences, including vegetarian and vegan meals. It’s best to mention your dietary needs when booking.
Expect refined French cuisine, often served as a 3–4 course meal with seasonal ingredients. Some cruises even offer an Italian meal, and some cruises are clubbed with dining experiences at the base of the Eiffel Tower.
Yes, a Seine River lunch cruise is a wonderful experience for children! The leisurely pace, scenic views of Paris’s landmarks, and the excitement of being on a boat make it an engaging and enjoyable outing for kids.
Lunch cruises include a selection of drinks such as wine, coffee, or soft beverages. Some premium packages feature champagne or a broader drink selection.
Seine River boats are equipped with indoor seating and glass enclosures, ensuring a delightful experience regardless of the weather.
Definitely—Seine lunch cruises are popular for birthdays, anniversaries, and romantic surprises. Some boats offer celebratory add-ons like champagne or custom cakes.
The biggest difference is the ambience:
Lunch cruises are more casual, ideal for sightseeing with plenty of daylight.
Dinner cruises are all about a romantic, elegant atmosphere, often with candlelit tables and live music.
Not at all! Most boats have climate-controlled interiors, meaning you’ll be comfortable even in summer. If you’re on an open-air deck, a light breeze from the Seine makes the experience pleasant.
The attention of the boat's crew, the quality of the welcome and the meal. Of course, discovering Paris from the Seine is a wonderful experience.
The waiters were super friendly and honestly that made this adventure the best part! They gave us information about the building and bridges we were seeing. The food was amazing and brought to us warm everything was delicious.
A great way to view the beautiful architecture of Paris whilst enjoying a well prepared lunch and being served by a joyful host of crew members on board.
Everyting went as advertised. Premier service is worth every penny. Delicious food, excellent choice of champagne and wine, smooth ride in air conditioned cabin makes this cruise the unforgetable one.
Just so nice to enjoy a delicious French meal with friends while sailing on the Seine and seeing several worthwhile monuments and buildings along the way. Without doubt to be repeated. The ticketing was just perfect. One point to mention we would have liked the table right up front in the middle; how can one be sure to reserve that table?
Warm welcome, discreet and efficient service, excellent presentation of dishes, perfectly executed, very clean toilets, appropriate music...
the meal was excellent. the staff was exceptionally kind. the atmosphere on the cruise was very calm and relaxed. we spent a dream 2 hours.
We had a very pleasant lunch cruise. Friendly staff, good food, and great value for money. Everything worked very smoothly from buying the ticket to being on board. We had a window seat on one side of the boat. Since the boat turns around during the trip, you get to see both sides of the canal. We had a really warm day (37 degrees) and the AC onboard worked very well. Very satisfied. Highly recommended!
Wonderful food, staff were great and the organisation effortless. The Privilege package is great value, especially compared to other activities in Paris. My wife and I would definitely recommend this cruise.
The trip was good food was good. The waitress was not very friendly. No smile and seems in a big hurry. The white wine was great but the red not so good. If the cruise could be 30 minutes more would be perfect. The guide was mainly in French but most of the tourists were not French. I think English is more appropriate.
The Bateaux Parisiens Lunch cruise was the perfect activity for our last day in Paris. Everything was amazing! Beautiful boat, awesome crew, and delicious food! Looking forward to booking another one when we come back to Paris in the Fall!
This was an absolutely wonderful experience! The staff was wonderful, the luncheon was great, and the service was a 10 out of 10. I would definitely do it again.
Ticketing was fine. Food was delicious and exceeded our expectations. Overall it was a lovely way to spend time in Paris.
Fantastic food, wine and service. The views were spectacular. We had to adjust our day to attend due to high fevers but they were very accommodating. We would highly recommend.
This was a fantastic way to spend a couple of hours in Paris. The food was great, everything was very slick and the service was exemplary.
The "boat" was Lea, modern an befitting aswank restaurant. We had upgraded to a windows table-awesome. 5 course lunch exceeded all expectations. A gourmet experience. And....great views along the route.
The service was incredible! A real first class experience. The food was delicious as well! Highly recommend this cruise!!
We loved the whole experience. The staff were friendly and helpful, the food was amazing, and the views were spectacular.
Food exceptional, service exceptional, cruise exceptional. The icing on the cake was the awesome weather. Would definitely book again.
Easy to find, reasonably priced, not fond of the potatoes with the main course though. (Sorry)...wines and aperitif were great and of course the view and the ride were top notch! We chose this to celebrate my birthday and loved it! Merci beaucoup!
Excellent experience, service was wonderful, food was good except for the main course beef, which was too sinewy, not a good cut of meat.
I brought my granddaughter from NYC to Paris because it was her dream to come We enjoyed everything. The food was delicious. The boat was so pretty and comfortable. Breathtaking views and relaxing music made our cruise an experience that we will always remember. Our server April was so welcoming and wonderful. Absolutely amazing service.
Everything was easy and well organised . The staff were friendly and attentive and the meal was delicious.
The food and view was amazing. I came alone and didn't feel alone. The guest near me were fun.
Great experience, nice service, good food
What I liked was the terrace
It was a very nice experience with my family. We have enjoyed the food served and the duration of the cruise was perfect to see most of the Paris buildings and landmarks. Worth recommending to the people who wanted to experience and explore Paris.
We really enjoyed the Marina Seine River Lunch cruise with brasserie menu. The atmosphere onboard was excellent with fantastic music playing. We enjoyed all 3 courses very much and the champagne, wine and beer. The staff were friendly and fun and of course, great views along the way. A relaxing way to spend our last day in Paris. Would highly recommend.
Food georgous staff friendly and helpful view great
Everything went smoothly. Honestly great cruise food just ok. Next time dinner cruise.
Ticketing was easy. Entire crew were very polite and hard working
The river cruise was very nice lots to see food was good but was a bit lacking in the drinks department wine by the glass / bottles I thought was on the expensive side $40 Euros. The other issue was the lack of Airconditioning it was very hot
Good service and the food was delicious. We reserved in advance including window seating. The table was prepared with scattered rose petals. The cruise was very enjoyable and the main sights were covered. An overall fun and memorable experience.
nice service, tasty food, great experience!
Very pleasant tour , positive experience, excellent service x lunch is good quality...
The boat itself is lovely and the food was wonderful! The service was excellent
Fab food, absolute chill after three days at Disney. Wonderful start to our Paris tour
I didn't have the opportunity to enjoy this. Due to Bastille Day festivities, we were unable to get to the event, and no one could advise us how to get around the parade route. Support was no help and there was no way to get in touch with the organizer. We are now out $400 and unable to do one of the main sightseeing events we had planned.
It is a great experience and the food is good for the price.
A quality meal, very competent staff and a magnificent stroll through Paris seen from the Seine.
It was perfect !!! So romantic 🥰
Amazing time! Loved it! Great food, great service and a fabulous experience.
It was exactly what they stated, a river cruise on the Seine. Boat was great, Staff were very friendly and the food was far better than I expected.
No ingresso dizia entrada, prato principal e sobremesa, porém no restaurante fomos informados que era uma escolha de entrada e prato principal, ou prato principal e sobremesa, sendo duas refeições e não as 3, conforme descrito no ato da compra
Good directions to bost! Cruise was excellent. Nice boat, great viewing area and good speed! We saw amazing key attractions. Breakfast was a disappointment- no sit down but takeaway - orange juice,coffee and a croissant. Anyway cruise made up for this but in future, please be expliciit as to what's being offered.
The process was generally well organized. It is a pity that with almost all bookings, groups generally have "right of way", especially on boat tours, and individual visitors are left behind. Otherwise, it was a nice boat tour with a great audio guide.
Bad service in the restaurant of the brakefast
Your guide was great, rest was pretty average. Wouldn't recommend however the breakfast was great.
Amazing experience. Loved it ♥️
We bought a ticket for a tour incl breakfast. Later it turned out that the bag with the breakfast had to be picked up at a Brasserie. So it was not breakfast on the boat. Very disappointing. There was also no consideration for fast boarding. We never book this again
Could not find the location of thr pier so we couldn't take the cruise
It was a great experience with my family. The ship we boarded, left the dock on time, everything very neat and clean and the ride was very beautiful. I would do it again
