The day at Disneyland went really well, much to the delight of my two daughters. They had a great time. It was definitely worth it.
I highly recommend it!

This is my second time visiting the park. The experience was just as wonderful, but this time I was able to enjoy it even more because it was in March and the park wasn't very crowded. The lines were short, and I was able to visit almost 11 rides—everything was absolutely beautiful. It was a blast!

Very well explained. Although the tour was in English, the guide (Martín) also provided brief summaries in other languages since we were a diverse group. Highly recommended. Thank you for the anecdotes and interesting facts that made the tour so enjoyable.

Once we’d bought the tickets, there was nothing left to do when we arrived on the day. The lady scanned them with her phone, gave us a wristband, and that was that.
The museum—which, to me, isn’t really a museum but more like a small city amusement park—was nice, but too crowded, and I was frustrated that I couldn’t buy a miniature version of the (unfinished) puzzle that was upstairs.
But it’s worth a visit.

It was our 50th wedding anniversary and you can't get a more romantic moment than a slow cruise down the Seine! Boarding was very organized and the staff were all pleasant. We found a seat in the top of the boat and were able to easily see the sights as we passed. The guide gave us small details about each location and directed us by number to an audio guide with more information about each. It was a very pleasant cruise!

I didn't like that they don't send the tickets when you buy them and that I have to download an app to view them; in the end, I went in

Why book a lunch cruise on the Seine?
1/5
Of sightseeing with dining
Why choose between sightseeing and a leisurely lunch? A Seine River lunch cruise allows you to do both. Take in panoramic views of the city while indulging in a delicious meal – no walking, no rushing, just a blend of exploration and relaxation.
All about the daytime views
There’s nothing quite like gliding along the Seine and seeing Paris bathed in daylight. The Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, the Louvre, and the Musée d’Orsay stand out even more under the sun, creating a stunning backdrop for your cruise. Add in the lush greenery along the riverbanks and the gentle buzz of the city, and you’ve got a front-row seat to Paris at its best.
It begins with French cuisine
Onboard chefs whip up delectable French dishes using fresh, seasonal ingredients. Imagine savoring duck confit, grilled salmon, or other perfectly prepared entrées, paired with freshly baked artisanal bread and heavenly desserts like chocolate mousse or fruit tarts. Top it off with a glass of French wine or a refreshing drink, and you’ve got the recipe for a truly unforgettable midday treat.
Relax in comfort and style
A lunch cruise is a perfect way to unwind and escape the crowds while still enjoying Paris’s highlights. Seated in a comfortable, elegant dining space, you can enjoy excellent service and the gentle sway of the boat as it glides through the city.
A Parisian life pov
Unlike the bustling streets, the Seine provides a peaceful vantage point to observe Paris’s charm. During the day, you can see the city’s vibrant energy – from artists painting along the quays to locals enjoying riverside strolls. The view from the water reveals the city’s beauty in a way you can’t experience on land.
Things to know before booking your cruise
For lunch cruises, you can choose between a French or Italian menu, depending on the operator. TheItalian menuincludes dishes such as red tuna crudo, artichoke carpaccio, veal, bass fillet, and exotic pavlova**. Meanwhile, the French menu offers selections like chicken and chestnut pâté, salmon steak, duck foie gras, and pralinette choux puff**.
There are various operators that cater to different lunch cruise experiences. With options starting as low as €65 that comes with regular seating, beverages and 3-course lunch, premium optionsstarting at €95 include a 4-course meal and the best tables on the boat– near the window or right at the front for uninterrupted views of the city.
While all seats offer beautiful daytime glimpses aboard the Seine River lunch cruise, you can choose to get tables that come with unobstructed views. The seating near the windows and at the front of the boat are priced higher than the ones at the center, so you can pick the ones that suit your budget and preferences.
You could also enjoy a 3-course meal at Le Bistro Parisien, situated at the base of the Eiffel Tower, on the banks of the Seine River, before embarking on your cruise.
Seine River lunch cruises tend to sell out quickly, especially during the peak summer weekends. Book your tickets at least a week in advance to get the cruise of your choice.

Know before you go on a Seine River lunch cruise
Best time of the year (April to June and September to November) Spring (April to June) and fall (September to November) are the best times for a Seine River lunch cruise. In spring, the city comes alive with blooming flowers and lush greenery, while fall offers golden foliage and crisp air. Both seasons provide mild weather and beautiful daylight.
Best day of the week (Tuesdays to Thursdays) Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays are perfect for a lunch cruise. These midweek days typically have fewer tourists, making for a calmer and more intimate experience. You’ll enjoy uninterrupted views of Paris’s landmarks and more attentive service compared to the busier weekends.
Best time of the day (Noontime) Lunchtime, around 12:30pm to 2pm, is ideal. The sun is high, providing clear and bright views of Paris’s famous sights. It’s the perfect break in your day to recharge with a gourmet meal while taking in the city’s beauty from the comfort of the boat.
Plan to arrive early. We recommend getting there at least 30 minutes before departure to check in and get comfortable.
Whether it’s a booking confirmation or an e-ticket, keep it ready to show before you board.
Follow the crew’s lead. They’ll guide you during boarding and disembarking so everything runs smoothly.
Dress the part. There’s no strict dress code, but smart casual is a great choice to match the vibe.
Smoking is only allowed in the designated outdoor areas—indoors is a no-go.
Guide dogs are welcome, but other pets will need to sit this one out.
Space is tight, so large bags or suitcases can’t come along—just bring the essentials.
Outside food and drinks aren’t allowed, but don’t worry—there’s plenty of delicious options on board to keep you satisfied.
