Description

Relive the atmosphere of the Paris 2024 Olympic Opening Ceremony on the very river where it took place. Departing from the historic Pont Neuf, this evening cruise offers a comfortable and relaxed journey with background music as you admire Paris illuminated at night.

Board the vessel at Square du Vert-Galant, a small park just below Pont Neuf. The boat has both an open-air terrace and indoor seating, allowing you to enjoy views along the UNESCO-listed Seine riverbanks as city lights begin to glow.

During the cruise, you will pass the historic islands of Paris. Glide around Île de la Cité, home to landmarks such as the Conciergerie and Palais de Justice, and enjoy an unobstructed view of Notre-Dame Cathedral. The cruise continues past Île Saint-Louis with its 17th-century mansions and quiet quays.

Further along the river, see the long facade of the Louvre Museum, the domed Institut de France, the Pont des Arts, Musée d’Orsay on the Left Bank, and the Tuileries Gardens and Place de la Concorde on the Right Bank.

Passing under the ornate Alexandre III Bridge, you will glimpse the Grand Palais and the golden dome of Les Invalides before reaching the highlight: the Eiffel Tower. View the tower and the Trocadéro from the Seine, especially captivating when illuminated at night.
