We really enjoyed our 2 hour river cruise. We had a sparkling wine on arrival and 3 course meal and a bottle of red wine. We chose the prestige ticket which meant we sat by the window. We cruised up and down the seine and saw all the sights. Food was nice. We had an enjoyable time

I brought my girlfriend, now fiancé after this trip, to Paris as a surprise for her birthday and to get engaged. I only booked a couple things early, a bike tour, and this River Seine Lunch Cruise. This was worth every penny and then some. We did the Etoile lunch service which was at a table in the middle of the boat. If you’re not looking to spend a lot, I definitely recommend the Etoile service. You get fantastic views of the scenery and nearly the same service. Our waiter worked our table as well as tables along the edges of the boat. There are some food/drink differences with the higher priced tables, but since this was lunch I don’t feel like we missed out on anything. Speaking of, the food was fantastic, as was the wine. We’re hoping to serve the same champagne and wine at our wedding! You won’t regret booking this lunch cruise!

This was a high quality river cruise; the food options were brilliant and the ambience was perfect. Everything ran to time and without hitch, the boat itself was spacious and clean, with great visibility from all tables (which didn’t seem like a given based on some of the other seated dining boats we saw on the day.) The staff were friendly and efficient. We travelled as a family of 5, with 3 kids aged between 9-14. I’ve taken a star off the rating simply because we had a considerable wait in between starter and main (we had finished our arrival drinks and a bottle of wine by the time it arrived), and I noticed another section had a longer wait than us. Possibly it was cooking time, but the top tier diners didn’t appear to have such long delays in between courses, so possibly consider this when booking. That aside, we thoroughly enjoyed the trip and would highly recommend this activity.
