Question 8

What dress code is recommended for this evening on the Seine?

Accepted Answer

Question 10

How does the Maxim's® by Paris Seine vessel stand out from other dinner cruises in Paris?

Accepted Answer

The main difference lies in the human-sized and architectural configuration of the vessel: where mass operators board hundreds of passengers with central tables without a view, the Maxim's® vessel guarantees each guest a panoramic bay window table without extra charge, in an intimate Art Deco setting enhanced by the natural proximity of the piano bar, creating the unique atmosphere of a private salon navigating on the Seine .
