Bateaux Parisiens Seine River Christmas Cruise with 5-Course Dinner

On the evening of Christmas Eve or the afternoon of Christmas day, hop aboard your Bateaux Parisiens boat near Paris’ iconic Eiffel Tower. Meet your host, and embark on your cruise along the Seine River. Paris is a wonderful city to explore at Christmastime, with festive lights adorning the streets and a buzz of holiday excitement in the air.

Take a seat at your table—you choose your seating section the time of booking—and sip on a celebratory glass of chilled Champagne. Enjoy the festive Christmas spirit onboard as you take in beautiful views of Paris’s grand riverbank, a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. Cruising down the scenic Seine, get up-close views of Notre Dame Cathedral, Place de la Concorde, the Latin Quarter, the Parisian Statue of Liberty, the world-famous Musée d’Orsay, and the Louvre. Your boat’s glass roof and panoramic windows ensure wonderful river views as you cruise from the Eiffel Tower to La Bibliothèque Nationale and back.

As the bright Christmas lights and mesmerizing scenery of Paris drift slowly past, enjoy a sumptuous 5-course meal with wine. With music from a live band on board, stunning river views, and Christmas cheer and merriment in the air, you're sure to enjoy a relaxing and festive experience out on the water.

After cruising the Seine, arrive back to the quay near the Eiffel Tower.
