Seine River Cruises in Paris: 15 to Board

67 river trips  ·  from $18 a head

Almost every Paris boat leaves from the same handful of piers and they are not the same trip. These 15 sort the one-hour loops, the dinner sailings and the hop-on passes by price, departure point and whether the commentary is live.

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 77,472 reviews · 1 hour · from $20Our pick

Board a modern Bateaux Parisiens boat at Pontoon 3 beneath the Eiffel Tower for a one-hour round trip past Notre Dame, the Louvre, Musée d’Orsay, and more. Use the onboard web app or audio guide in multiple languages, then head upstairs for open-air photos. Indoor seating helps on cold or rainy days.

“This was such a great experience. Our guide was multilingual and did an awesome job pointing out major sites along the Seine. We took a cruise close to sunset and you had the option of sitting on deck or inside. The whole experience was super well organized and great value for what we paid. It was open-ended which allowed us to tour other sites around Paris and show up before the last scheduled cruise on NYE. It was such a wonderful experience and one that I'd totally suggest anyone touring Paris check out. I'd definitely go again!”

“Boat was pretty full but we still found seats inside. It was a little warm in the sun inside the boat, but we were fine. The drinks and snacks were reasonably priced but could have been a little more cold as it was so hot outside. The tour guide did a great job pointing out the sights in both French followed by English. It was a pretty fast transition between the two languages though so we had to really pay attention. For the value and what all we saw it was well worth it to orientate yourself with the major sights. Would definitely recommend. Get there early if you want…”
