4 perfect cruises for Parisian sailors

No need to travel hundreds of miles to sail the high seas. While waiting for the holidays, sea lovers dreaming of a little refresh can, without leaving Paris, hop on one of these Seine cruises. Even if swimming there might soon be allowed, we still recommend setting sail with an apéro included, dining at Maxim’s onboard, or booking your very own private mini cruise. All aboard!

 

Enjoy an apéro on a boat

A weekend apéro? Always a yes — but this time, on a boat, please. On this cruise departing from the Eiffel Tower, you’ll enjoy a musical atmosphere and a glass of wine or beer includedwith your ticket. And for the less reasonable ones, there’s even a bar onboard… Trust us: the cruise is on!

 

Dine at Maxim’s on the Seine

Treat yourself to the ultimate chic experience with this festive dinner cruise by Maxim’s. This Belle Époque-inspired cruise, blending dinner and live music, perfectly recreates an Art Nouveau atmosphere and the vibes of a 1920s Parisian night. A night on the water that brings the heat? We love it!

 

Treat yourself to a private cruise

Bateaux Mouches are great for tourists (even if we secretly envy them a bit). But what if you opted for a private cruise, with your best friends or to declare your love? On board, enjoy your own drinks and snacks, play your favorite playlist via Bluetooth, and relax while listening to the captain’s stories. Honestly, what more could you ask for?

 

Learn to draw on the Seine

Classic cruises are nice, but sometimes we want more than just souvenir photos. What if, this time, you swapped your smartphone for a sketchbook and captured Paris at its best? Between anecdotes about the monuments, you’ll focus on the Seine and capture the moment on paper — whether you’re a sketching pro or a curious beginner. The perfect activity to disconnect with family or enjoy a creative break with friends.
