We carefully researched Paris dinner cruises, before choosing the shorter (1 1/2 hour) cruise offered by Bateaux Parisiens  We pre-booked window seats and got very nice ones.  The boat was beautiful, the dinner staff was great, and the food was good but not gourmet.  Here's something I want to mention: we had a medical emergency on our cruise; a passenger...

The approximate 1 hour boat tour from the Eiffel Tower past Ile de la Cite and back is a very comfortable, peaceful way to see some of the key sights, a great vantage point for photographs, much better than the bus tours which go way too fast and move so much it is hard to take photos. I recommend taking... More

We had a great dinner time in Bateaux Parisiens, food was kind of simple but the dessert was really good and we had a nice talk while enjoying the night view. More

Although the commentary is very good, it doesnt allow any stop and may be too much information for a short 1 hour cruise More

We opted for the dinner cruise that cost about EU70 pp including a little more to reserve a window table. There is also an upper market cruise that was a little out of our price range, but we were happy we chose the one we did. There was 2 starting times, I think 6pm and 8.30pm. We chose the later...

This company operates from both Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower. The Notre Dame times are more sporadic, and not as often-maybe this is just in the spring? We got the boat at the Eiffel tower- it was very busy, but the wait was minimal. The tour was excellent, and gave the tourist a quick snapshot view of a lot... More

I think all of the Seine river boats offer dinner cruises. Parisiens offered a 6:30 pm cruise that fit our schedule, at a reasonable price of about €70 each. It takes about an hour and a half. We booked on line, opting for window seats which cost a little more than the center tables. We lucked out and got two... More

We chose this for my wife's 50th birthday dinner. Service was great. Food was better than average. The setting was the magic part. Didn't mind the photog gimmick. In fact, they took really good photos of us. An enjoyable and unique way to have dinner. We paid the few extra $$$ for a window seat, but frankly, the view seemed... More

This was our 4th evening dinner cruise with the Bateaux Parisiens but our first return visit for about 8 years. Pleased to report that the experience is still outstanding. We had opted for the Service Premier (as usual) which, albeit quite expensive, is frankly the best way to experience the Bateaux Parisiens. We were luckly enough to be offered the... More

On my first trip to Paris I did a night cruise and I knew on this trip I had to do it again. My husband said multiple times what a wonderful idea it had been! We opted for the Service Premiere dinner and were sat at the front of the boat. While it is up there in cost, the location... More
