    View Lovely, Extras Are A Shock

    Cruise boat was lovely, staff professional in actions and appearance, cruise itself was very nice with beautiful scenery. But, when it came to the food and cost of extras, not so nice. The menu sounded great, but when you are told you are getting chilled crab with caviar, you don't expect a 2 inch pile of pureed crab with small edible flowers placed on it. When you are ordering blue lobster from their coast, you are expecting something more than 4 small pieces the size of quarters with a half chunk of fennel and sauces poured over it. The rest of the menu was also a little questionable. Don't get me wrong, we knew coming in that it would be a specialty meal with something quite unique, but the verbiage was very misleading. The worst of all was the cost we paid for 1 glass (half full) of wine, and 1 glass (half full) of champagne. The bill was 78.00 euros!!!!! That means we paid $90.58 for 2 half full glasses of bubbly. We thought they charged us for bottles but soon found out that wasn't the case. We were of course also charged for the water and 1 cup of coffee. That was reasonable enough. So be ware, when booking this cruise exactly what your costs are for all extras before you order them. The cost of this cruise did not include any beverages.

    Wonderful Dining Experience

    We were warmly greeted on arrival and shown to our table by the Maitre D. Quickly followed by the Sommelier and our waiter so champagne and canapés arrived for us to enjoy whilst we looked across at the Eiffel Tower on the opposite bank of the river. The boat is all glass so views of the city sights are superb. We chose the 4 course menu, there was also an amuse bouche, which was more than adequate. The food and wine were delicious, service was very attentive but not intrusive. You can wander onto the outside deck whenever you want. To see the sights lit up was an amazing experience, especially the Eiffel Tower. The sommelier very kindly ordered us a taxi to meet us when the boat returned at 10 30pm. We disembarked at this time but lots of people stayed on and some were still having dessert. There didn’t seem to be any rush. We had a simply wonderful evening and would definitely recommend that you book with this company.

    Lovely treat

    We went on a dinner cruise one Saturday night. We opted for the 5 courses food and wine pairing. We received a very warm welcome on the boat from the host which was nice and the views from the boat pre departure of the Eiffel Tower were incredible- we watched it sparkle at 8pm. I think it’s fairly to say our table wasn’t the best we were in the dock side of the boat and my husband had a wonderful view of the corridor but the window views were good when we got going! The food and the wine pairing were excellent my favourite was the foie gras and pate! I attach some photos! I think my advice would be to choose wisely as my husband made some strange choices and didn’t enjoy his meal as much as me! The bread was also very delicious! The service was very good although it didn’t feel as though we had a dedicated waiter/waitress and there was one member of staff who was clearly very new and inexperienced and was left a little unsupervised for my liking! The boat is lovely very high spec and the electric motor is so quiet it feels like a luxury cruise vessel. All in all we loved it a real special treat. Final note: The cobbles on the quayside are very uneven so ladies just have a think about what you wear on your feet!

    Worst value for money- avoid this tourist trap

    What was supposed to be a romantic tour turned to be one of our worst experiences ever. A tourist trap by all means. I don’t believe Mr Ducasse could possibly try and approve these dishes, in particular the fish, which was the main course. His name was kind of a quality guarantee, it was quite the opposite. The wines included in the package were not good with the exception of the glass of champagne in the beginning. Our table was next to the place where they were literally throwing the dishes non-stop for the total length of the tour. Absolutely unpleasant and unbearable, we were waiting for the boat to end its tour and leave the place asap. We could not even enjoy the monuments, as the lights are turned against you. I suppose the lunch tour should be better concerning this aspect. The only element survived that evening was the staff, who was trying its best. This ‘nice’ experience came at a price of 570€ for two people, paid a month in n advance, term to guarantee the reservation. It’s a pity we spoiled one of our two evenings in Paris. It was 26 December 2025.

    Perfect boat trip

    Everything was perfect from start to finish, the food was full of flavour and exquisite taste, the servers were very attentive but not over baring. The similia was spot on with wine recommendation. Well worth the money. The only thing was that being in Paris for the first time it would have been nice to know what building we were passing.

    Paris at the First Lodges - Ducasse sur Seine dinner cruise: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.

    How much does Paris at the First Lodges - Ducasse sur Seine dinner cruise cost?

    +

    Prices start at $235 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Paris usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Paris at the First Lodges - Ducasse sur Seine dinner cruise take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Paris is not rushed.

    Is Paris at the First Lodges - Ducasse sur Seine dinner cruise worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 37 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 175 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Paris, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Paris at the First Lodges - Ducasse sur Seine dinner cruise?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Paris at the First Lodges - Ducasse sur Seine dinner cruise suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Paris at the First Lodges - Ducasse sur Seine dinner cruise?

    +

    Around 61 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Paris can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Paris and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Paris at the First Lodges - Ducasse sur Seine dinner cruise start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Paris within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Paris?

    +

    Paris rewards travelers who book ahead. The headline museums sell timed entry weeks out, the best food walks cap at eight people, and the Seine cruises that are worth doing are the ones that leave after sunset. Everything below is scored by the Outty Ranking so you can tell a genuine local favorite from a coach-tour filler in a single glance. On Outty we rank every Paris experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Louvre Museum Essential Guided Tour Semi Private 6 GUESTS MAX, Louvre Museum Premium Guided Tour 6 GUESTS MAX Entry Included, Paris City Center Free Walking Tour (Tip-Based). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Paris?

    +

    April to June and September to October, when queues thin out and terraces stay open late. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Paris?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
