Bateaux Mouches Dinner Cruise on the Seine River in Paris
Overview

Mobile ticket
Jean Bruel created “Bateaux-Mouches®” in 1949, introducing a novel activity to the Seine and marking the advent of river tourism in Paris.
More than 70 years later, the tradition continues : take a cruise on the Seine and admire the sights of Paris while enjoying a fine dinner !
Glide along the river and see the Ville Lumière from a different angle. Take a seat and relax as the city's iconic landmarks flash before your eyes. The large windows give you the best view while a three-course meal (Prestige menu) or four-course meal (Excellence menu) are served.
An evening cruise of almost three hours gives you the chance to see Paris from its most beautiful avenue. The illuminated monuments provide a breathtaking backdrop, while a three-course dinner is served, accompanied by an aperitif and a wine of your choice. Choose the Excellence menu and make the most of this fabulous city at night.
All cruises also feature live music to accompany your Paris dining experience.

Fabulous Bateaux Mouches Dinner Cruise, River Seine, Paris
AJGJ,,Jan 30, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00A must-do for couples in Paris! It is one of the most romantic experiences my husband and I have ever had, and it was an unforgettable 60th birthday celebration. Our round table was so close to the front of the boat, and the views of Paris by night, travelling along the River Seine, were breathtaking. Our Travel Counsellor, Mandy Ellis, recommended it to us, and we were not disappointed! Once we stepped on board, the atmosphere was amazing, with soft piano and violin music, attentive staff, champagne, wine and delicious food. It was about 3 hours long, and although it was expensive, it was so worth it! We would highly recommend this unforgettable experience.
Awesome Experience

5.00It was great. Would be good to know the surrounding buildings etc, so you know what you are seeing. Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame is easy, but more sights were unknown, with no narrations.

5.00The timing was very confusing, I suggest reaching out to confirm when to actually be at the boat. Once you get there, the experience is wonderful. We are still talking about the violinist and the frog leg dish.
