Seine Dinner Cruise, Eiffel Tower Access and Moulin Rouge Show

10.Seine Dinner Cruise, Eiffel Tower Access and Moulin Rouge Show

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 2,310 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $483

Spend one Paris evening combining a three-course Seine dinner cruise, reserved second-floor Eiffel Tower access, and the Moulin Rouge Féerie show with Champagne. The evening lasts about seven hours, uses shared transport, and ends in central Paris. Expect set timings, shared tables, possible queues, and no summit access.

“With the cost of the tickets for this experience, I was shocked that you had to pay extra for beef on the dinner cruise and we were charged 8 euros for a bottle of water! That was extremely excessive and I was very disappointed by that! Everything else was good although you really don’t have a lot of time for the Eiffel Tower tour and hope to catch the bus on time for the Moulin Rouge. The last issue was that there’s supposed to be a dress code for the Moulin Rouge, but it looked like you could actually wear whatever you want!”

“This is a very nice, low keyed dinner cruise. The food was as advertised and well prepared. The service was very good. The on-board entertainment was also very good with a decent selection of music, not too loud, and didn’t get in the way of having conversations. Crew handled the boat nicely and timed the arrival at the Eiffel Tower for the light show which was spectacular. What kept it from being a 5 star rating is there wasn’t much in the way of communication. It wasn’t clear for example, what time dinner was going to be served, or what time the boat was leaving and returning. It would be…”
