The experience

Musée d'Orsay sits in the 7th Arrondissement and holds one of the world's greatest collections of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art. Your ticket grants entry to the full museum (the collection and any temporary exhibitions on display during your visit), and you move through the galleries on your own schedule. The museum opens Tuesday to Sunday from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., and your ticket is valid only for the date you book it.

If you add the Seine River Cruise, you'll depart from the base of the Eiffel Tower in the 1st Arrondissement for a one-hour journey on the water. An audio guide in 14 languages is included with the cruise option, narrating the sights as you pass them. The timing and logistics between the museum and the river are yours to arrange: the ticket covers both experiences, but not transport between them or hotel pickup.

What’s included

• Musée d'Orsay entrance ticket for one visit.
• full access to the collection and any exhibitions on display.
• one-hour Seine River Cruise with audio guide in 14 languages (if you choose the cruise option at checkout).
