Lunch cruises on the Seine Paris

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?

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 arranged a 3-day trip to Paris for my daughter’s 21st birthday. I booked the cruise on her actual birthday. The ambiance, service and staff were excellent. We were late for the lunch service due to the transport strikes. Staff were so very helpful and changed the booking to the dinner service with no-fuss. The actual dinner service was so beautiful! We were able to savour the iconic landmarks along the Seine while being served an awesome three course meal. The length of the service is perfect; long enough to enjoy the meal, the sights and the pleasant background music. The staff were fully attentive (almost like visiting relatives as they were so happy to please). They were polite, courteous and very friendly. I asked that a 21st birthday cake topper be placed on my daughter's dessert as I did not have a cake. An amazing four dessert platter was prepared including a mini mousse type “cake” and staff placed the cake topper placed on top! Thank you for an awesome birthday celebration!

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.

Nice and awesome lunch on the cruise with a very very polite waitress name Sarah !! She a good dancer and having a 5 star on Customer Service! Satisfied with her service and always smile ! I and my family really enjoy with the major service and will come to visit paris and definately will try this service again. Ofcourse, I will tell to all my friends and family about this trip. Thank You !!!!

An excellent cruise with excellent food. On the journey that the cruise takes, you see all the main sights (Notre Dame, Eiffel Tower, Statue of Liberty) whilst enjoying really delicious food. The decor and layout is fairly upscale, and all tables seemed to have a good view (though others are right in saying sitting by the window on the left is a perfect view!). Menu choices were good, seemed to be something that everyone could have. Photographer does try to come round to make you buy a memento keepsake (good for some just not for us!), and be warned no tap water means you pay at least €7 for a small bottle of Evian. 100% would recommend and would do again in a heartbeat next time we are in Paris. As some mentioned, slightly hard to find but go down stairs by love lock bridge and there’s a cabin selling cruises - it’s just to the left of the cabin. No queue system so free for all getting on but tables were allocated so did not need to rush.

A very enjoyable trip. Had a lovely 3 course dinner, we paid extra for flowers and champagne. It was nice but nothing too special. The map direction from the app was helpful. Meet at the foot of the stairs but the river. Find a boat that looks like serving dinner. No one really shouted to inform what the trip was for. You must be at the boat before 12.30pm as it will set off at 12.30pm on the dot. The meal was lovely and the sightseeing of France on the river was a good and different experience. You will need to pay extra if you are getting other drinks or wanting the red meat. vegetarian menu was available and a good option. They have a photo crew on board that will take your photo’s and if you wanted one of theirs, it will be an added cost, I think €30 for 3 printed photos plus downloads. Overall a nice experience with French music being played.

We missed the lunch cruise because of the long lineup at Eiffel tower and google map was showing a different location. Important to lookup the name of the tour company. I called City Vision earlier but it is difficult to understand because they are not conversant in English. So we went there and arrived late, but the lady at City Vision was nice to move the booking to the dinner cruise. It is a great experience. I wish they can pinpoint in Google maps their exact location

Having enjoyed an evening supper cruise quite recently I booked the lunchtime cruise with the same company. Both trips are really good. We received excellent service, lovely food and were then able to enjoy the views in the sunshine on the top deck. Really good value for money and friendly staff.
