Things to know before booking your tickets

  • Dinner cruises tend to be more expensive than sightseeing or lunch options, but they deliver a richer, more immersive experience. Prices range from €65 to €195, depending on the boat, menu, and extras.
  • Premium experiences like Bateaux Parisiens, Maxim's, **and Le Diamant Bleu include luxury vessels, multi-course gourmet meals, and live music in an upscale, romantic setting. These are ideal for special occasions or when you want the full “Paris at night” **experience.
  • Looking for something more relaxed? More affordable options like Théo's boat and Paris en Scène offer cozy, informal settings with simpler menus and no entertainment — still scenic, but quieter and less formal. La Marina strikes a balance, offering seasonal French cuisine on modern boats with panoramic views.
  • Seating matters too. Standard seats are centrally located and still offer wide-angle views through glass windows. But if unobstructed Eiffel Tower views matter to you — especially if it’s your first time in Paris or a special evening — upgrading to window seating is well worth the small premium.
  • Menus vary between 3- and 4-course French or Italian meals, with vegetarian options widely available. Vegan dishes are less common, so it’s worth checking in advance. Not all cruises include drinks — confirm if wine, champagne, or soft drinks are part of your ticket. Families should look for child-friendly menus — options like La Marina and Bateaux Parisiens are especially good for that.
  • Entertainment can also shape the vibe of your evening. Cruises like Le Diamant Bleu, Bateaux Mouches, and Maxim’s feature live music, singers, or even DJs — making them perfect for couples or groups celebrating something special. Theo’s and La Marina tend to be quieter and more intimate, while Paris en Scène offers a casual, laid-back atmosphere focused more on the views than the party.
  • If you're aiming for a more peaceful, romantic evening, later departures tend to be less crowded and more atmospheric.
  • Most boats are wheelchair accessible, but a few (like Theo’s Boat or Maxim’s) may have limited access.
⚠️ Dinner cruises often sell out — especially Thursday to Saturday.
