1.1-Hour Seine Cruise departing from the Eiffel Tower

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

Start at Port de la Bourdonnais beneath the Eiffel Tower and cruise past Les Invalides, Notre Dame, the Louvre, and more. Choose the open top deck or warm indoor seating, then follow commentary in 14 languages or use the onboard app. Plan extra time in peak season, when queues can be long.

“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!”

“The cruise is great value for money. We travelled at sunset and it was great to see the landmarks lit up in the evening sky. An hour was ample to see all the sights on the river. The boat was busy but everyone was in a good mood and enjoying the cruise. My tip to anyone who books this activity is to decide the time you think you would like to cruise down the river and turn up to the tour meeting point a little earlier so you can get to the front of the queue for the best seats (especially if you are 3 or more people as the…”
