So many years ago, in the 80’s I went on this dinner cruise and had a great time. I wanted my family to have the same experience so I booked this while we were in Paris. Unfortunately, I was not impressed with the dinner river cruise. I will say our waiter, was friendly and happy to serve us. He actually made the event better than what it was. I took 8 family members and we were shoved in a corner of the boat, where a few family members had to get up to see some of the view, or look up. As you can tell by the purchase price, times 8, it was a little expensive. I will say they did give you wine when you asked for it. Honestly, the food was just okay and unfortunately, the singer was just so, so. I would probably tell you to go to a nice restaurant on the water.
Wonderful evening
Darcy_O, Mar 2024
This dinner cruise was better than expected. Food was delicious, well prepared and our server was fun. Overall a great evening and would recommend you do this at least once when in Paris.
Could of being better..
Alexandra_S, Mar 2024
We were the last people to eat in the cruise. The experience can be amazing if you have the right waiter and ours wasn't. Otherwise fine.
Great Paris by Night experience

Amazing views, great dinner and live music! I went with my husband and daughters...had a wonderful time. Pay extra for the outside table - worth it!
Wonderful experience all around.
Lisa_B, Mar 2024
I enjoyed this far more than I expected to. We had the perfect table, great service, excellent food and good wine. Beautiful seeing the city lit up at night too. I’d definitely book it again.

Horrible food, like...
Polina_G, Mar 2024
Horrible food, like unable to eat at all. I was not advised and there was no options to choose different meal options and to have a choice to sit next to the window.
Memorable but with a couple of negatives.
Jennifer_R, Mar 2024
On arrival we were informed that due to strong currents the boat could not go up river for the promised route, so we sailed down river instead. We were offered recompense of a ticket for a river cruise which unfortunately still did not take in all the sights we expected. The meal was excellent - we took the Premier tickets, unfortunately we were not given the champagne at the end of the meal. The waiters were friendly and polite. The photographer was a rip off - an iPhone picture would have been better so would not recommend using him. On the whole, it was a memorable evening and we were pleased we went to celebrate our silver wedding anniversary. Would definitely do it again.

My experience on the dinner cruise was beyond words, it was incredible. The service was incredible and the food was fabulous. I would highly recommend the dinner cruise.
Edward saved the trip!!!
KENDRA_B, Feb 2024
Some servers were rude and not willing to be patient and explain the menu items, but Edward really really made this a memorable dinner for my fiancee who we were celebrating her 40th birthday. First, a server brought the wrong meals to our table. Then when we got the correct meal my fiancee didn’t like what we had ordered so I asked Edward as he was passing by if it would be possible to change hers and I mentioned it was her birthday. He made it happen! And she was happy then when the onboard singer went over to sing happy birthday for another guest Edward also brought my fiancee out a sparkler in a macaroon. That was sooooo sweet of him!!! I really appreciate Edward making this a memorable trip because I wasn’t happy with some of the servers we encountered. Thank you Edward!!!!
