The Experience
You want the moment to matter, and a restaurant boat gliding past the Eiffel Tower while someone plays violin in the background is the kind of thing that stays with you. Bateaux-Mouches has been running these dinner cruises since 1949, and the Valentine's version is the one night they design the whole evening around romance — not just the setting, but the food, the wine, the timing. You board near the Alma Bridge at 8:30 p.m., and by 9 p.m. the boat is moving, and Paris starts to change the way it looks when the light goes down.
The Seine dinner cruise lasts two hours and fifteen minutes, and you spend most of it at a table with a 3-course meal in front of you: appetizers, two starters, a main, and dessert, all built for the occasion. Half a bottle of Champagne or wine comes with it, or soft drinks and coffee if you prefer. Two live musicians move through the boat playing French and international songs — not loud, just there, the kind of background that makes you stop talking for a moment and listen. The boat has two decks: the main one with bay windows where you sit to eat, and an upper deck with a 360-degree view if you want to step outside and see the Louvre, Notre-Dame, the Pont Neuf, and the gold dome of Les Invalides slide past. Vegetarian and vegan options are available if you ask when you book, and gluten-free meals too.
The dress code is casual formal — no shorts, no sneakers — which means you're not overdressed but you're not casual either. Boarding starts at 8:30 p.m., the boat leaves at 9 p.m., and you're back at the pier by 11:15 p.m. The boat is wheelchair accessible, and if you're traveling with an infant, specialized seats are available. It's not a tour where someone explains the history of each bridge as you pass it; it's a dinner that happens to be on a boat moving through Paris at night.
What’s included
Your evening includes boarding near the Alma Bridge, a 3-course meal with appetizers, two starters, main course and dessert, half a bottle of Champagne or wine per person, soft drinks and coffee, live music from two musicians during dinner, access to both the main dining deck with bay windows and the upper 360-degree viewing deck, and the two-hour-fifteen-minute Seine cruise passing the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame, the Louvre, and other Parisian landmarks. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free meal options are available with advance notice.
Operated by Compagnie des Bateaux-Mouches
