Choose your proposal

Every proposal: the whole boat for the two of you, your captain and a champagne welcome.

Tell us the moment you want: the crew times it with the Eiffel Tower sparkle.

Your cruise

  1. 1

    You board at Escale Orsay on the Dolce Vita, or at Escale Henri IV on the Felicità, welcomed with champagne.

  2. 2

    The boat slips onto the Seine, just the two of you, past the Louvre, the Conciergerie and Notre-Dame.

  3. 3

    The moment: the Eiffel Tower. With your captain in on the secret, the boat slows down in front of it for your proposal, and if your timing is right, the tower begins to sparkle as you pass.

  4. 4

    The slow cruise back as Paris lights up.

Guests who celebrated a proposal or a romantic evening

An absolutely unforgettable experience. My wife and I were celebrating our 20th anniversary in Paris, and the private cruise on the Felicità Yacht became the highlight of our entire trip. I had planned to ask my wife to marry me again and renew our wedding vows during the cruise. The team helped make this moment truly magical. Everything was perfectly timed, and I was able to ask the question right in front of the Eiffel Tower while we were on the Seine. It could not have been more perfect. A very special thank you goes to our skipper, Marius. He was exceptional throughout the entire evening. His service was attentive, professional, and thoughtful, yet never intrusive. He always seemed to know exactly when to be present and when to step back, giving us the privacy and intimacy that made the evening so special. That balance is incredibly difficult to achieve, but Marius did it flawlessly. The yacht itself was beautiful, the atmosphere was romantic, and seeing the Eiffel Tower sparkle from the river is a memory we will cherish for the rest of our lives. If you are looking for a truly special and private experience in Paris, I cannot recommend Dolce Vita Yacht highly enough. Thank you for helping create one of the most memorable evenings of our lives. Tobias & Kerstin

WOW - if you have the budget to book one of these experiences, DO IT. I booked this as a surprise for me & my husband for our last night in Paris during a work trip - it was the HIGHLIGHT of the trip. To be able to show him the Eiffel Tower from the water was something he will never forget. Jerome our captain was so lovely, sharing great facts as we cruised down the river. If you can, book it in alignment with sunset so you can enjoy the vibrance of the people along the Seine, plus the sheer beauty of the river as the sun sets. Especially if you can time it with the Eiffel lighting up at dusk.

Felicita is an Exceptional True Beauty... to Enjoy a Remarkable Unique Cruise Experience on the Seine. Paris at its Top Best ! Seeing all of the Magnifique Historical Monuments is a true privilege that will carve into your memory forever. We shared a Fantastic Champagne Golden Sunset Apéro Cruise... All was perfect on board with Captain Marius. Highly Recommend !

My wife and I had a wonderful time aboard the Dolce Vita. The boat is magnificent, very comfortable, and Olivier, the captain, is charming and very professional. And then there's the Seine, Paris... Ah! Paris...

I can’t recommend this experience enough! We wanted something unique for our trip to Paris, and this private yacht on the Seine was the best choice. No crowds, no rush, just the two of us enjoying the city from the river. Watching the Eiffel Tower light up while floating on the Seine was an absolute dream.

Dolce Vita

This was hands down the most romantic experience we’ve had in Paris! The private Seine cruise was intimate, elegant, and perfectly arranged. Watching the Eiffel Tower sparkle while sipping champagne on a luxury boat felt straight out of a movie. If you’re looking for something unique and special, this is it!
