5 things to bring on a Seine river cruise
The Seine might be one of the world's most scenic urban rivers, flanked by exquisite monuments such as Notre Dame and the Arc de Triomphe. A cruise is the best way to enjoy it as long as you don't forget anything essential! Here's what to pack.
Windproof jacket
Even if all's calm on the City of Love's streets, its river is exposed and highly susceptible to strong winds. Even in summer you might need a good jacket!
Sun screen
Again, the Seine is exposed and so are you. If you're not seeing the sights by night, you'll want to see them on a sunny day. Keep yourself protected!
Camera
Many of Paris' most famous sights can be seen by boat, opening the door to some fantastic photo opportunities. If you have them, enhance the experience by bringing binoculars too!
Sandwiches
Unless you're taking a dinner cruise of course! But even then you should think about bringing your own water bottle.
Somebody you love
Corny? Perhaps. But hey, it's Paris! Why not check out some other tour options to round off a romantic day?

What people are saying about Seine River
Was very enjoyable to show Dad the sights from the water.
A huge kudos and thankyou to your company. We were booked to do an Eiffel Tower climb, but missed it due to a delayed flight. Your correspondent on WhatsApp was extremely helpful in offering us alternatives, and booked us on this cruise at short notice when it became clear we were not going to get up the tower. Their compassion and assistance made a stressful situation all good for us and I would have no hesitation in recommending your company to anyone else. One word for those looking at either the Eiffel Tower or the Seine River Cruise ... do not plan to take your suitcase with you as they will not allow it. Tower security said no point blank and offered no suggestions. Boat security at least gave us a place up the road where I could store it.
AMAZING experience and highly recommend!
Did a photoshoot for a surprise engagement. There were some last minute changes but everything still went very smoothly. Beks is an amazing photographer and would definitely have her do another shoot for us. We ran late to the shoot and she still stayed for almost the entire hour and did multiple different locations and poses. We LOVE how the photos came out and everyone we share them with say they are gorgeous. Highly recommend for anyone that is doing a surprise proposal or anyone that just wants to have some nice photos of your vacation!
Good tour and itinerary, good lunch at Eiffel Tower.
Bus tour and water tour very good. Trip to Eiffel tower spoilt by bad information - we were told to go to the second level, see the sights, then go to the first level for lunch and then go to the top. This is not possible unless you can walk up the stairs from the first to second levels, which we could not. The only alternative then is to go back to ground level, exist the tower and buy new tickets to get back in - not an option! Otherwise a well organised tour and good value for money.
Worth every penny, beautiful way to see the city
Office was easy to find to get tickets , great directions to boat tour which was a lovely way to see the city. We done the effel tower at night which we had a great tour guide to get us through the security and give us some history of the city , the tower was not too busy & beautiful at night.. great experience over all :)
This was a great way to get around Paris and see the best of the sites
This was a great way to get around Paris and see the best of the sites. The boat runs a regular and reliable service from convenient points. Staff were very helpful with RER and Metro directions as well as with placed to eat. Loved it and will be booking again when we are back in Paris!
