Insiders Guide to
Seine River Cruises
Find romance, Sip Champagne, Dine in Style,
or Bring the Entire Family
Experience the romance of Paris as seen from the most romantic river on Earth, the Seine. Sip champagne while cruising along the river of the City of Love.
Be amazed at how many famous Paris landmarks you can see from a boat on the Seine and how close together they truly are.
Book a dinner cruise, where you are served a traditional gourmet French dinner while sailing slowly on the River Seine.
If you want to splurge, book a three-hour cruise on your very own yacht or combine a Seine River cruise with dinner on the Eiffel Tower and then a cabaret show at Moulin Rouge.
Or grab the whole family and hop on a bateau for a fun-filled morning or afternoon ride. A Seine cruise will suit the romantic in you, or the mom and dad in you. By the way, if you buy a Paris Pass, a one-hour river cruise is included.
Here we review the best Seine River cruises — day cruises, evening cruises, cruises with dinner, with champagne and with a combination of other activities. Whatever your pleasure, you'll find a Seine cruise to make your trip to Paris memorable.

A Paris Insiders Guide favourite
Take a three-hour cruise along the Seine in the luxury yacht, Don Juan II as you are served a gourmet meal prepared by a 2-star Michelin chef.

Seine River Cruise & Paris Canals Tour
A Paris Insiders Guide favourite
Spend a relaxing two and a half hours cruising the Seine and along historic Canal Saint Martin.
