Several packages contractually guarantee your place by the window. The Privilège Service of Bateaux Parisiens and the Maxim's ship ensure a direct view for 100% of guests.

For a memorable tête-à-tête, the Paris Romantic Dinner Cruise dresses your table with rose petals, while the Maxim's Dinner Cruise offers an incomparable Belle Époque piano-bar atmosphere. The Excellence Service of Bateaux Mouches , with champagne and premium seating facing the illuminated monuments, is also a prestigious choice for grand occasions.

Question 4

Are there dinner cruises suitable for families with children?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Discovery Service of Bateaux Parisiens and the Quay Dinner at Bistro Parisien offer a children's menu and PMR access. The first service in the early evening, like that of the Trattoria en Seine , also allows for not too late a bedtime for the youngest. Children under 4 are often free.

Question 5

Are drinks always included in the price of the dinner cruise?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the package. Many offers include wine and/or champagne, such as the Capitaine Fracasse Amiral (wine included) or the Champagne Package of Paris en Scène . Others leave drinks à la carte for more freedom, like the Fracasse Package or the Paris Discovery . Always check the "inclusions" section of the offer.

Question 6

Are vegetarian menus or special options offered on board?

Accepted Answer

Yes, almost all companies offer a vegetarian option , and some even go as far as vegan and gluten-free. This is notably the case with Paris en Scène, at the Trattoria en Seine or on the Amiral Package of Capitaine Fracasse . It is advisable to indicate your diet when booking so that the chef can anticipate it.

Question 7

What is the difference between the first and second service of the evening?

Accepted Answer

The first service (1h15 to 1h45) starts in the late afternoon, often at a lower rate, ideal for families or before a show, with a sunset ambiance. The second service (2h to 2h30) dives directly into illuminated Paris: the monuments sparkle and the atmosphere is at its peak. On the Privilège Service of Bateaux Parisiens , the second round even adds fine cheese and champagne.

Can you watch the July 14th fireworks from a dinner cruise?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely, and it's one of the best spots in Paris. The National Day Dinner Cruise of Bateaux Mouches and the National Day Dinner of Paris Seine position the ship facing the Eiffel Tower for the show. For an exceptional evening, the Gala Evening of Paradis Latin adds a cabaret revue, Lenôtre dinner, and Bollinger champagne. These dates sell out very early.
