Seine dinner cruises

Seine dinner cruises: experience Paris after dark

A dinner cruise on the Seine is one of the most memorable ways to experience Paris in the evening. From the boat, watch the city unfold against the night sky, with views of the illuminated Eiffel Tower, the golden streetlights of Pont Alexandre III, the Conciergerie, the Louvre, the Musée d’Orsay, Île Saint-Louis and the façade of Notre-Dame Cathedral. Extime offers dinner cruises for different occasions and travel styles. All that remains is to choose the option that best suits your plans.

Which Seine dinner cruise should you choose?

Bistronomic cruises

Bistronomic options combine generous French cuisine with a lively and welcoming atmosphere. They are ideal for experiencing your first dinner cruise with friends or family.

Romantic cruises

Romantic options include preferred seating near a panoramic window and a glass of champagne. They are ideal for celebrating an anniversary or sharing a special evening for two.

Live music cruises

Festive options combine a gourmet menu with a live musical performance in a warm, jazz-inspired atmosphere. They are ideal for enjoying an original evening with friends.

Special occasion cruises

Special menus are offered for Christmas, New Year’s Eve and Valentine’s Day. These cruises are ideal for celebrating a special occasion while taking in the sights along the Seine.

Book your Seine dinner cruise

Dinner, lunch or sightseeing: choose your Seine cruise

While a dinner cruise reveals the magic of Paris after dark, a daytime cruise offers unobstructed views of the riverbanks, houseboats, booksellers and bridges of the French capital.

 

A Seine lunch cruise allows you to enjoy a meal on board while admiring the city’s landmarks. 

Shorter and more flexible, a Seine sightseeing cruise is ideal for travelers who want to discover Paris in just a few hours, before a flight, between visits or during a busy weekend.

Book and board with peace of mind

Boarding locations and departure times vary depending on the cruise operator and the option selected. The exact pier address, transportation information and boarding instructions are provided on the offer page and in your booking confirmation.

 

We recommend booking in advance, particularly for Friday and Saturday evenings, school vacation periods and the holiday season.

 

Plan to arrive approximately 30 minutes before departure, unless otherwise stated on your ticket. Inform the operator of any allergies or dietary requirements when booking and confirm that they can be accommodated.

 

Smart casual attire is generally appropriate. If your cruise includes access to an outdoor deck, consider bringing a light jacket.

Extend your Paris experience

A dinner cruise pairs naturally with other ways to discover the French capital. A city tour, a visit to the Eiffel Tower, a trip to Versailles or a museum visit can be combined with your cruise to create a full day in Paris.
