What To Expect
Eiffel Tower
The Eiffel Tower has been built by French engineer Gustave Eiffel, for the 1889 Universal Exhibition in Paris. This magnificent technical feat was achieved in a mere two years, two months and five days. It stands 324 metres tall, and the metal structure weighs 7,300 tonnes. Parisians were scandalised by its metallic look and height. It was built to last 20 years. A radio antenna was added to the top in 1903, saving the tower from demolition. It has now become the monument symbolic of Paris.
Cathedrale de la Sainte-Trinite
The new Russian Orthodox church is known as the Holy Trinity Cathedral. The centre houses a bilingual Franco-Russian school, a parish house, and a cultural centre.

A disappointment.

2.00This was a little disappointing and a little boring. The music was awful. It was like French elevator music. We tried to plan the boat ride so we could see the Eiffel Tower sparkle but we didn’t time it well and didn't really get to see it sparkle. It would definitely skip this and just sit outside in a cafe in the river or go for a nice stroll.
Nice way to see the Seine...

5.00Nice way to see the Seine and nearby sites. This is a super popular activity. You want to be sitting upfront. To do that, you need to arrive at least a half hour before boarding. But, this is fun.

5.00It was an amazing experience. French music, no distracting audio comment and a very good boat size. It was one of the highlights of our Paris trip. The end of the evening cruise perfectly timed for the Eiffeltower Glitter was amazing. Loved every moment!

4.00The river cruise was a nice relaxing time, seeing the sites at night. We thought information on what we were seeing would be of been nice but it was a quite cruise.

1.00We had envisioned this event differently; with music and wine, it is truly beautifully described. One had to get a glass of wine, which was the wine pairing, oneself. Unfortunately, we booked the wrong boat; at least the weather was good.
5 Stars for this Cruise!

5.00I researched many Seine River Cruises. I did not want a meal, and I wanted one that would go at night or dusk. This seemed the best option. I do recommend "dusk" (about 8:00pm in the Summer) so you can see all the buildings in daylight. Towards the end of the trip about 9:45 pm the buildings start to light up. Trip Advisor or the Vedettes de Paris continued to contact me to remind me about the trip. The tickets for the cruise arrived via email about 24 hours before the trip. While the staging area and the loading area were really crowded and a bit confusing, the Vedettes did a good job of keeping everything running smoothly. The upper deck of the boat filled up quickly so I did not get a seat and was disappointed. I went to the lower (main deck) and took a seat in the very front of the boat and that spot was the BEST on the boat. A full view of everything with cool breezes coming inside the boat. (It was a very hot evening). There was plenty of chairs and it was "quiet". After a while my family and friends came to check on me and discovered that this lower, Main Deck, was really the best spot to be with the best views. They said on the upper deck the other passengers were standing up taking pictures and thus the seated passengers could not see everything. Drinks or snacks were available from a small bar. No pressure to buy anything. It was almost a 2 hour cruise at a leisurely pace. I give this 5 stars and I think I would take this trip every time I come to Paris. It was very relaxing and interesting to see how many people were sitting on the banks of the Seine. Merci.

4.00Beautiful views of the architecture. They could have less people on the boat. Was quite crowded. We thought the Champaign was included in the cost but it was extra
Great boat tour

Great location and clean.

5.00Super clean hotel right with a view of the Eiffel Tower. Unfortunately, the rooftop was closed, and while the bar was very nice, the service was very slow. Otherwise, top-notch!
Wonderful little cruise through the Seine
