Which cruise to choose
- The classic evening: Bateaux Parisiens or Bateaux Mouches, with a multi-course dinner and live music.
- Shorter and simpler: a 75 to 105 minute cruise with a set dinner, good before or after another plan.
- Couples: the romantic cruises with a three-course dinner.
What to expect
Cruises leave near the Eiffel Tower or central quays and pass the main monuments, which are lit after dark. Menus are set, with a few choices per course. The view and the evening are the reason to go; for a serious meal in Paris, book a bistro another night.
Tips
- Book a day or more ahead at weekends and in high season: the popular shows and cruises sell out.
- Check what your ticket includes: the same show or boat often sells drink-only, tapas and full dinner options.
- Arrive early: seating is often first come, first served within your ticket type.
- The evening is the point. If dinner matters most to you, take a lighter option and eat at a good restaurant before or after.
