“Excellent! Staff was great & approachable. If you want to see the lights turn on, do the 900pm and you will see the Eiffel Tower lights come on and flash. Sit in the back closest to tower bc when you return you will be on the tower side again. Bathrooms on board. Line looks long but they allow 600 passengers per boat and they load quick.”

10.3-Course-Dinner Cruise on the Seine with live music

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 7,248 reviews · 2h 30m · from $135

Cruise Paris by night with a three-course dinner, live music, champagne options, and views of the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, and Louvre.

“Incredible experience booking the privilege service. Food was excellent and we had a private table by the window. Ambience and food were great and the music and live singer on board was an awesome way to celebrate an anniversary. Dependent on where you sit you may not be able to see certain landmarks. Overall 5/5 and a great special experience especially if you’re celebrating. Scallops dish, Beef filet with mashed potatoes, and tiramisu with ice cream were all great dishes. The most expensive meal experience I’ve had for two people in Paris but in my opinion it was well worth it and I’d book again.”
