About this tour
See Paris from the water on a 60-minute Seine River sightseeing cruise, with landmark views and stories that bring the city’s history to life. Board near the Eiffel Tower and settle in as the boat glides past Notre Dame, the Louvre, and the Musée d’Orsay. Along the way, admire historic bridges, including Pont Neuf, and the Seine’s UNESCO-listed riverbanks.
Prerecorded commentary shares the history and legends behind the sights, while an onboard guide can answer additional questions. The boat turns around after roughly half an hour, then follows the opposite bank back to the original departure point. Choose from a range of departure times to fit your day, and select an option with a Montparnasse Top of the City ticket if you’d like to add another Paris viewpoint.
Arrive 15–20 minutes before your selected time and travel light, as large bags cannot be stored on board. Book your Paris Seine River Sightseeing Cruise and enjoy an easygoing introduction to the city’s most celebrated riverside landmarks.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 3.63 from 32 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Paris
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 5.6.
