The Seine River winds through the heart of Paris, and Bateaux Parisiens cruises follow a central route that showcases the most iconic landmarks. On a typical cruise, you'll see:

Yes, both vegetarian menus are available during a lunch or dinner cruise.
Yes, the cruises operate rain or shine. The boats have covered seating areas, ensuring you stay comfortable in all weather.

No—lunch and dinner cruises are package-based, and all seats include a meal. If you just want the views, a sightseeing cruise is your best option.
If your ticket doesn’t guarantee a window seat, arriving at least 45 minutes before departure increases your chances of getting one. Premium tickets often include priority seating.
Unfortunately, no. The cruises run on a fixed schedule, and onboard extensions are not possible. If you want a longer experience, book a 2.5-hour Dinner Cruise instead.
A limited number of tickets may be available for same-day purchase, but dining cruises almost always sell out, so booking in advance is recommended.
For day cruises, both sides offer great views. But for evening cruises, the left side (port side) provides better angles of illuminated landmarks.
