Seine River Cruises
Seeing Paris from the Seine is a rite of passage. Sightseeing cruises glide past Notre-Dame, the Louvre, the Musée d'Orsay and the Eiffel Tower — by day or, most magically, after dark when the monuments are lit. Most depart from the Pont Neuf and the nearby quays.
Paris from the water
A cruise on the Seine is one of the classic ways to see Paris. From the heart of the 1st arrondissement, boats glide past the Louvre, the Pont Neuf — the oldest standing bridge in the city — the Conciergerie, Notre-Dame and, downstream, the Musée d’Orsay and the Eiffel Tower, all along banks listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Choosing your cruise
Sightseeing companies such as the Vedettes du Pont Neuf depart from the tip of the Île de la Cité, while others leave from nearby quays. Options range from a one-hour commentary cruise to lunch and dinner cruises; evening departures, when the monuments are floodlit, are especially memorable.
Good to know
Tickets are best booked online in high season. Boarding points are a short walk from the Louvre and the Samaritaine.
