Dinner River cruises in Paris One of the most interesting and enjoyable adventures in which visitors to Paris can participate is a cruise down the famous Seine river while savoring a delicious multi-course dinner, complete with wine.
Paris at night is an illuminated wonderland, and the unobstructed views of the buildings and monuments from the river are truly breathtaking.
There are a number of Paris dinner river cruise options from which to choose, including departure time, size of the boat, length of the cruise, and the boat’s route.
It is strongly recommended to book a reservation in advance, as many dinner cruise outings sell out well in advance, especially during holiday times.
Most of the river cruise boats have an indoor area with glassed-in walls and roof as well as an outdoor viewing area.
Routes vary slightly, but almost all the cruises take in Notre Dame, the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, the Musee D'Orsay, and the Grand Palais, as well as numerous historic bridges.
In the non-summer months, be sure to bring a coat or a wrap, as it can be chilly on the water in the evening.
Most dinner cruises have a dress code; jeans and athletic shoes are not allowed and jackets and ties are recommended.
The choices of dinners generally include three levels of service, though all dinners have multiple courses and wine is complimentary.
Bar service is available for guests wishing to drink something other than wine, and there is almost always entertainment in the form of a violinist or other musician as well as a vocalist.
