Float past Paris’s greatest monuments on a privatized 90‑minute Seine cruise departing by the Louvre. Enjoy champagne, curated music, and uninterrupted views without live commentary.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step down the stone steps opposite the Louvre and the river opens like a moving map: bridges, facades, and the slow geometry of Paris sliding by. A privatized DE boat (quiet engine, low profile) lifts you gently on the Seine for 90 minutes, the city's great landmarks passing within conversation distance — the iron lace of the Eiffel Tower, the sculpted face of the Musée d'Orsay, the gothic spine of Notre-Dame.

Arrive 15 minutes early

Bring a windproof layer
The river can be significantly windier than sidewalks; a light jacket keeps you comfortable during open‑air stretches.
Plan for non‑narrated sightseeing
This cruise does not include commentary — download an offline map or pick a guidebook to identify landmarks as you pass.
Mind glassware and sea state
Champagne is provided but the boat can rock slightly — avoid standing with open glasses when underway.
