Seine Lunch Cruises in Paris

Seine lunch cruise: discover Paris by day

A lunch cruise on the Seine is one of the most enjoyable ways to discover Paris by day. Over the course of a meal, watch the French capital unfold through the boat’s panoramic windows, with views of the Eiffel Tower, Pont Alexandre III and its golden streetlights, the Louvre, the Musée d’Orsay, the Conciergerie, Île Saint-Louis and the façade of Notre-Dame Cathedral. Extime offers lunch cruises for different occasions and travel styles. All that remains is to choose the option that best suits your plans

Lunch cruise or sightseeing cruise: which option should you choose?

Your choice mainly depends on how much time you have and the experience you are looking for.

Without a meal, a Seine sightseeing cruise allows you to discover the landmarks of Paris from the water. With generally frequent departures, it is a flexible option for a family outing, a busy weekend or a few free hours before a flight.

 

A Seine lunch cruise offers a more complete experience. Seated at your table, you can enjoy your meal and the views throughout the cruise. Options range from relaxed French cuisine to more elaborate plated menus.

 

The cruise duration, menu, seating arrangements and access to an outdoor deck may vary depending on the cruise operator and the option selected. Review the details on each offer page before booking.

Seine lunch or dinner cruise: two ways to experience Paris

During the day, natural light offers unobstructed views of the riverbanks, bridges and landmarks of Paris. A lunch cruise fits easily into a day of sightseeing and allows you to enjoy a meal in a relaxed atmosphere.

 

In the evening, Paris takes on a different character as the city’s landmarks light up and the atmosphere on board becomes more intimate. For an evening experience, discover our Seine dinner cruises.

 

You can also explore all our Seine cruises to compare departure times, menus and available options.

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.

 

Lunch cruises can be particularly popular in the spring, on weekends and during school vacation periods. We therefore recommend booking in advance for a wider choice of dates and options.

 

Plan to arrive 20 to 30 minutes before departure, unless otherwise stated on your ticket. Mention any allergies or dietary requirements when booking and confirm that they can be accommodated.

 

If your cruise includes access to an outdoor deck, consider bringing a light jacket and sunglasses during the day.

Continue your day in Paris

A lunch cruise generally leaves the afternoon free to continue exploring Paris. Complete your day with a city tour, a museum visit, a trip to the Eiffel Tower or an excursion to Versailles.
