Start your cruise at Ile de la Cité in the heart of Paris, and relax as you travel past some of the ancient city’s most impressive and best-known sites.

See the imposing 12th-century Notre-Dame Cathedral from the river and marvel at its intricate stonework. Cruise onward to Île Saint-Louis, an oasis of tranquility in central Paris and a masterpiece of urban planning, and take time to capture the views on camera.

With your boat propelling you gracefully down the Seine, look out for other sites of interest such as Hôtel de Ville, the Louvre Museum, Musée d'Orsay and Place de la Concorde. As you glide out of the city center, the Eiffel Tower looms closer into view. Enjoy a panoramic perspective of the symbol of the French capital as the water laps gently at the boat’s keel. Changes in river levels between the summer and winter months mean the summer cruise (operating between May 1 and October 31) runs a slightly longer course than the winter cruise.

Enjoy a delicious brunch as you drift slowly past the sights of Paris. Help yourself to a platter of sweet treats and feast on a croissant, pain au chocolat, seasonal fruit tart and chocolate cake, or devour savories such as diced salmon with guacamole, a vegetable wrap or foie gras on a mandarin orange glaze. Your brunch also includes a selection of hot and cold drinks, snacks and baked goods. The armchairs and tables all face outward to ensure beautiful views no matter where you sit, and information booklets on the tables offer insight into the many important buildings and monuments that line your route.

If you want to make the occasion that little bit more special, upgrade to include a half-bottle of Champagne per couple, and toast the sights as you cruise. After 1.5 hours of exploring the Seine River, disembark at Ile de la Cité where your tour began.

Please note: From November to April the route is different due to high river levels. The cruise will start and end near the Eiffel Tower and will pass fewer sites than the summer cruise.
