About the River Seine

What Would Paris Be Without the Seine? With its romantic riverside walks – recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1991 – the Seine, stretching around 777 km, shapes the very heart of the French capital and forms the backdrop to many of its most iconic sights.

The river has been a vital part of Parisian life for centuries, serving as an important trade route since Roman times and inspiring generations of artists, poets and musicians with its enduring appeal.

Today, the Seine remains a favourite meeting place for both Parisians and visitors. Throughout the year, a variety of events take place to make the most of its charm – including the much-loved Paris Plages, a summer celebration where artificial beaches are created along the river. Among all the activities on offer, boat cruises on the Seine continue to be one of the most popular experiences for travellers and locals alike.

Why Take a Cruise on the Seine?

  • A boat trip along the Seine gives you the chance to glide past some of Paris’s most famous landmarks – such as the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre and Notre-Dame Cathedral – from a unique and picturesque perspective.

  • Cruises often pass beneath some of the city’s most stunning historic bridges, including Pont Alexandre III and Pont des Arts.

  • It's a relaxing way to experience the city, away from the busy streets – and a great opportunity for memorable photos.

  • Rest your legs while continuing to explore, and enjoy some unforgettable moments along the way.

  • Refreshing in summer and cosy in winter (thanks to covered boats), Seine cruises are perfect at any time of year.

Things to Know Before You Go

  • Not all cruises are suitable for those with reduced mobility.

  • It’s wise to book your Seine boat trip online and in advance to make the most of your time in Paris.

  • Bring a form of ID with you.

  • Arrive at the departure point in good time – around 30 minutes early is recommended.

Prepare for your experience on the Seine

What are the different ticket options for a Seine River cruise?

  • Sightseeing cruises with audio guide – Lasting around one hour, these are the classic Seine cruise option.

  • Lunch or dinner cruises – These usually don’t include an audio guide, but offer a highly enjoyable experience, especially for couples.

  • Cruises with a drink or happy hour included – Perfect for soaking up beautiful views of the city in a relaxed atmosphere.

  • Combo tickets – These experiences include a Seine River cruise combined with entry to some of Paris’s top attractions or a show at the Moulin Rouge.

How much does a Seine River Cruise cost?

For a sightseeing cruise on the Seine with an audio guide, you can expect to pay between €15 and €20. For a cruise that includes lunch or dinner, prices typically range from €70 to €100, depending on the package. For more exclusive experiences – such as gourmet dinners and live entertainment – costs are generally higher.

What's the best time of year to take a cruise on the River Seine?

Thanks to the design of the boats that operate the Seine cruises, any time of year is a good time to take a boat tour in Paris. In winter, the boats are covered, at least partially, making it a particularly magical time to admire the city's festive lights. In summer, cruises are a pleasant way to cool off and take a break from the heat.

How long does a cruise on the River Seine take?

Usually, a sightseeing tour with an audio-guide on the Seine lasts 1 to 1½ hours. Cruises that include dinner or lunch can last between 2 and 3 hours.
