I didn't know what to expect from the food, and being a foodie this was important to me. It was delicious and really unexpected. Fancy yet filling. And the wine flowed like a fountain! Having been to Paris many times, I didn't want a touristy thing to do, and this didn't feel like that. Planning on doing this again!

A great way to sightsee some of Paris. The food is decent, the red wine is good. The white wine was awful. Really enjoyed the aperitif! Have to agree with another reviewer that I think it’s silly to demand a certain dress code that they don’t follow up on. I especially feel bad for those that stay true to code in 30 degree weather, and see that everyone else is wearing shorts. All in all, I would recommend this activity.

The lunch cruise was lovely. We recommend service premiere — it’s worth the penny. We were welcomed with glasses of champagne and ushered to a comfortable seat at the bow of the boat where we had a nice panoramic view of Paris. The food and service were of top quality. It was a very relaxing activity, and we look forward to coming back to try the rest of the menu.

The premium location on the vessel was extremely hot and the air conditioner had little effect. We were moved by the waiter to a shaded spot, but the view was compromised. We were pleased to be able to move though and enjoy the luncheon provided, which was excellent.

The lunch was wonderful and the tour of the river was too. There wasn't any announcements of where you were along the river. They handed out a guide to show you what the highlights would be. That was nice because we were able to just enjoy our lunch and watch Paris go by. A great way to see the city in a short time. Oh, the food was great.

We were a party of 4 and chosen the privilege service. The suggested dress code was smart casual no sports wear/shorts or trainers which we respected but there were other guests that arrived in tailored shorts and trainers so things seems to be more relaxed nowadays since I lasted visited Paris 17 years ago! We arrived at the port 15 minutes earlier than the required time. We checked in and were given a menu in our preferred language, then walked through to the waiting area. It was crowded and hot with very few seats and waited a good 20-25 minutes before we can board the boat. Once boarded, we were shown to our table by the window. The boat seemed stylish as advertised and the staff all smartly dressed. Our dedicated waiter arrived and introduced himself, returned shortly and took our order. We were served with a welcome drink each, a bottle of water, red AND white wine per table of two. The food were nicely presented and delicious, an overall exceptional experience.

I understand visitors want to capture the best photos of Paris BUT….does that mean they get to ruin the experience for others? We paid for expensive seats to have a window view of our cruise. Sitting down to enjoy the view, we couldn’t have been happier. Then SHE showed up…and unfortunately hardly returned to her seat. With all this hair (who wants hair over their food?), she hung over my daughter-in-law like a dark cloud most of the experience. The wait staff had to constantly move around her, she pulled the hair of my daughter-in-law, bumped into her, all while snapping selfies and photos of Paris. In question - If you pay for the center of the ship seats, do you have the right to come stay by the window on top of guests have paid to be by the window while dining? I finally had to ask the staff to request she leave. However, should the staff have handled this situation much earlier by asking the guest to return to her seat?

The food was outstanding as well as the service and overall experience. I wanted to surprise my fiancé for our anniversary and a lot of the other cruises sounded like a bad deal or didn't have an overall good offer. This one here was just perfect. I paid for the privileged service, we got a table for two at the window and wine, water and coffee. I can only recommend the experience, we were super happy with the cruise!

I brought my girlfriend, now fiancé after this trip, to Paris as a surprise for her birthday and to get engaged. I only booked a couple things early, a bike tour, and this River Seine Lunch Cruise. This was worth every penny and then some. We did the Etoile lunch service which was at a table in the middle of the boat. If you're not looking to spend a lot, I definitely recommend the Etoile service. You get fantastic views of the scenery and nearly the same service. Our waiter worked our table as well as tables along the edges of the boat. There are some food/drink differences with the higher priced tables, but since this was lunch I don't feel like we missed out on anything. Speaking of, the food was fantastic, as was the wine. We're hoping to serve the same champagne and wine at our wedding! You won't regret booking this lunch cruise!

Took the lunch cruise with our 4 teenage grand-daughters on the first day of our two-week Paris visit. It was a great way to start the visit -- viewing the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, etc., while enjoying French cuisine and French wine. We had the less expensive middle table, which I think provides a better view than the window tables, since you can easily view out both sides of the boat.
