A Paris Must
Gourmet french cuisine, excellent wine, superior service and breathtaking Parisien views. If you think the best of Paris is about visiting the Eiffel tower, the Palace of Versailles, the Louvre, Montmartre, the Latin quarter or many of its other museums and sites you are probably missing out on what could be the highlight of your trip. This boat ride along the Seine is a must. Not only does it offer a view of the city from another perspective but introduces you to the flavors of true french food and wine.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for this recommendation! We are glad you enjoyed the cruise.

what a fabulous way to celebrate NYE...
<p>what a fabulous way to celebrate NYE in Paris!!!!! the ambiance was lovely, the band was fantastic, the food was creative (but not the best in terms of taste/quality, but nice in terms of presentation), and the wine/champagne was flowing. the only bad part was the cruise took too long so we were way beyond the Eiffel Tower at midnight and we were supposed to be there by 11:30. there were no fireworks at the Eiffel Tower, they are at the Arc de Triomphe....so if you are expecting fireworks, maybe go to Montmartre.</p>

The food was disappointing and we...
<p>The food was disappointing and we were unable to see the spectacular monuments as described. Also at midnight, we were nowhere near the Eiffel tower to see the fireworks. We had to watch them on YouTube the next day. Not worth the money we paid. Very disappointing.</p>
Response from the operator: Thank you for your message, and for leaving a Review on Viator.com. Though this is an older Review, we wanted to comment to let customers know that the Fireworks no longer occur at the Eiffel Tower. We wanted to make sure there was not any confusion for future customers for this product. Thank you for using Viator, and we wish you Happy Travels!

<p>Overall, very nice indeed. Most of the people were nicely dressed, service was great, beautiful music and plenty of drinking.<br/> Paris, as always, magnificent.<br/> What to improve?<br/> Quality of food.<br/> And there was too little space for dancing.<br/> Some cab service at the end would have been great help, as it was impossible to get a taxi and we walk all the way back to the hotel.</p>

Seine River New Year's Eve Gourmet Dinner Cruise & Live Music: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.
How much does Seine River New Year's Eve Gourmet Dinner Cruise & Live Music cost?
+
Prices start at €557 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 Seine River New Year's Eve Gourmet Dinner Cruise & Live Music take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Seine River New Year's Eve Gourmet Dinner Cruise & Live Music worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 41 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 6 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 Seine River New Year's Eve Gourmet Dinner Cruise & Live Music?
+
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 Seine River New Year's Eve Gourmet Dinner Cruise & Live Music suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Seine River New Year's Eve Gourmet Dinner Cruise & Live Music?
+
Around 2 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Seine River New Year's Eve Gourmet Dinner Cruise & Live Music 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 Paris City Center Free Walking Tour (Tip-Based), Louvre Museum Premium Guided Tour 6 GUESTS MAX Entry Included, Louvre Museum Essential Guided Tour Semi Private 6 GUESTS MAX. 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.
