Private or shared cruise?

Shared Seine cruises sell individual tickets. Some boats carry hundreds of passengers, with fixed seating and recorded commentary. They can suit guests looking for a lower ticket price.

On a private cruise, the boat is reserved for your group, with your music, champagne and a dedicated captain. Plan a proposal, birthday, anniversary or client dinner on the Seine.

A private boat for 6 starts at €870, comparable to 8 to 10 premium shared dinner-cruise tickets. Check the group supplement when choosing your boat.
