We offer you an unforgettable cruise on the Seine with original French Champagne and more surprises :) Your cruise is private. We have two types of boats. You can see both in the gallery. The standard boat is the cheapest and smallest boat on the Seine. If price is the most important thing for you - choose a small boat. If comfort is more important than price - choose a slightly more expensive but much more luxurious larger boat. Difference in price it not big. Remember that a small boat does not have a table - it not picknick boat. Our small boat still accommodates a maximum of 4 passengers , but we also have new boats, larger, more luxurious, more stable and spacious, great audio system - ones that accommodate 8 passengers. If you want to choose a luxury boat, choose the option for 6 people or more, it does not matter if you are alone or there are actually 6 people, the cruise is private. View our boats in the gallery. Enjoy a tourist cruise and beautiful views of the Seine (Statue of Liberty, Eiffel Tower, Pont Alexandre 3, New Bridge, Notre Dame Cathedral, Paris Plage ...)

Hop on board the boat and get comfortable before taking off from Port Javel Haut ( in Paris city, face Statue of Liberty). Pets are also welcome. First, you’ll cruise in front of the Statue of Liberty monument, followed by the Eiffel Tower, the Alexander III Bridge, the Orsay Museum, and the Louvre.

Plan your visit

How to choose the right experience

Paris is best approached through a mix of reserved priorities and unstructured neighborhood time. A guided museum visit, food walk or historical tour can add real context, while tightly packing every monument into one day usually subtracts from the experience. Decide which admission or story matters most, then group the rest of the day on the same side of the city.

Museums, monuments and the Seine

Museum and landmark products range from admission tickets to fully guided visits. Check the entrance location, timed-entry conditions, tour language and whether access to a particular level or temporary area is actually included. River cruises vary by departure point and dining format.

Neighborhoods, food and trips beyond Paris

Montmartre, the Latin Quarter, Le Marais and market districts reward focused walks rather than generic coverage. Versailles, Giverny and Champagne-region products require travel outside Paris; compare transport, guided access and independent time.

Use the river and neighborhoods to organize the day

The Seine provides a useful orientation, but major sights spread across both banks and multiple arrondissements. Montmartre sits apart in the north, while Versailles is outside the city entirely. A tour ending near its subject can be more useful than one that returns to an inconvenient central pickup point.

Before you book

Read ticket inclusions precisely and allow for security checks. Museum closures, route adjustments and access conditions can change, so rely on the supplier's current booking details for the chosen date. Food tours should state tastings and dietary support. Avoid pairing a distant day trip with a fixed evening reservation unless the scheduled return leaves a comfortable buffer.
