Seine River Cruise — Paris

About this attraction

Everything you need to know
about Seine River

The best way to understand Paris is from the water. The Seine divides the city into two — Rive Droite and Rive Gauche — and a one-hour cruise along its course brings you face-to-face with the most iconic monuments in the world: Notre-Dame on its island, the Eiffel Tower rising above the trees, the Musée d'Orsay, the Tuileries, and the bridges that have connected both banks of the city for centuries.

The audio commentary (available in 16 languages) provides historical context throughout the journey. The open upper deck offers unrestricted views and the best photography conditions. The evening cruise — when the Eiffel Tower is illuminated and the city lights reflect on the water — is one of the most romantic experiences Paris offers.
