Fabulous boat, food, entertainment service and experience. Superb!

Review by: Anthony B	March 2012
The dinner cruise for which we had booked a table for two at the front was absolutely magical, even though outrageously expensive!! The music and entertainment was somewhat lower key than expected, but the food, service and overall experience was quite exceptional. One tiny disappointment at the start was that, having booked the Premium service, we were led to expect a special separate entrance to avoid queuing with the other 150 or so on the boat, also the telephone number given on the Viator confirmation - to which we were to confirm our reservation and check on pick-up time on our arrival on Paris, was an invalild number. Nevertheless, overall an exceptional experience.

This is one of the top three "to-do" things I would recommend when visiting Paris. Nothing like a relaxed, private, and personal cruise on the Seine. Very memorable.

Review by: Chris	January 2012

What a fabulous way to see Paris at night and what a wonderful way to top off a trip to France. Yes, this was pricey....but worth every penny...from the pick up and drop off at the hotel to the champagne to the delicious French meal and the wonderful service. Top notch all the way....I highly recommend this experience.

Was the highlight of our trip, food was amazing and service was top notch ! My cousin and I loved it so much that whenever we travel back to Paris we will definitely book it again ! It was such a beautiful relaxing experience, just don't forget your camera you get some amazing picture's ! Worth every penny ! I highly recommend this !

Review by: hard2	October 2011
One of our favorites! This tour should not be missed. Seeing the "City of Lights" - at night, from the boat was exceptional. I would schedule this tour again if we went back to Paris - it is that awesome!

Review by: Wade B	September 2011
We were unsure whether to join a large table or just book the table for two. In the end we opted for the table for two.

Review by: Missa	August 2011
This cruise was the highlight of our week stay in Paris , the staff were wonderful , the boat was fantastic and the food was beyond amazing ! my husbands 40th Bday was unforgettable and I would recommend this trip to anyone , well worth the extra $$$$ to go Premium . My only wish is that it was longer 4 hours just wasn't enough !!!

Review by: Elizabeth B	August 2011
Brilliant evening celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary. Food, service and scenery all excellent. If we had one small gripe, it was that it would have been better to have had live music for the whole of the cruise - other than that .....PERFECT

Review by: John W	August 2011
Excellent service from start to finish. It was lovely being picked up from the hotel and then taken back to the hotel at the end of trip. The food and presentation was top quality and being at the front of the boat was just perfect. Would certainly recommend this dinner cruise.

Excellent trip. Food and service was first class._br/_ As a special occassion i would recommend this trip to anyone

Review by: Susan P	July 2011
I had always wanted to try one of these luxury dinner cruises, but my husband wasn't interested. After living in Paris 18 mos I decided to book a trip when a girl friend of mine visited from the US. Our expectations were exceeded on every level! This is truly a luxury experience - well managed with wonderful food, friendly, knowledgable wait staff and breathtaking views! The band and singer were also very high quality. We had the top package so we were picked up from my apartment and dropped off at the boat and returned, which was very convenient. After hearing our rave reviews my husband is actually looking forward to taking this cruise with me and I'll be very happy to do it again.

The highlight of our trip. Expensive, but very enjoyable evening.

A must to do.

Review by: Diane L	July 2011
Excellent dinner cruise! Only downside was the beef - very tough and chewy... not as good as we get in the states... beautiful views, smooth ride all culminating in the Eiffel Tower lighting up like a Christmas tree! Service was superb from transportation to wait staff!

Review by: Chet	July 2011
The 'premium seating' was marvelous. The food was surprisingly excellent, and the views were fantastic. The hotel pickup was a plus, especially the ride back at such a late hour in a strange city. Highly recommend the package.

Review by: Michael C	July 2011
Great time thank you. Pick up from hotel on time. The extra money spent on a table for two (well wedding anniversary and birthday celebrations mean something!) well worn it. Service was excellent and the trip as the lights cam on wonderful. Some friends recommended the trip to me and mentioned dancing which sadly was not a feature of this evening. A once in a lifetime experience, thanks again.

Review by: Jason A	June 2011
This was a good tour, but a bit pricey for what you got. The food was decent, not outstanding, but the boat and trip itself was top notch. The waiter was awesome, and incredibly fun, but at the end of the day it just wasn't what it is made out to be. I still give it 4/5 stars, though, and would recommend it if you did one of the lower priced packages.

Review by: Margaret L	June 2011
Absolutely brillant trip._br/_ Food excellent, service first class,band and singers wonderful. Everything we could have expected. But then the dinner cruise cost a lot of money - almost £200 each so we were expecting a night to remember. Some great photos taken. I was celebrating a special birthday so it was a night to remember.

Review by: F D	June 2011
Although there was a traffic jam in front of our hotel, we were picked up in reasonable time. Our transfer driver was excellent. The whole night ran like clockwork. We arrived at our boat and on boarding we were looked after magnificently. The food and wine were superb, as were the views. All in all a fantastic experience and an excellent service. Could have asked for a better conclusion to our stay in Paris._br/_ A very appreciative Mary White and Fred Diamond.

Review by: Helen P	June 2011
Do it! Sound the money and buy the Premier Tickets. We were staying in private accommodation and they still collected and delivered us to our door step. The driver was informative and friendly. The waiters were attentive. The food was awesome and the view was unforgettable. Money well spent.

Review by: Sheryl M	June 2011
Absolutely superb evening. Great food, wine and transport arrangements. Chose premiere service and we were seated right at the front of the boat at a table for two. Highly recommend this trip.

Review by: Cesar B	June 2011
It was a marvelous trip, excellent service !! The dinner and the wines were superb. The atmosphere of the restaurant on board, combined with the view from the Seine, the music and the singer was simply unforgettable. I really recommend to take this first class cruise, it is a memorable experience in Paris.

Review by: Charles M	June 2011
My wife and I were on our honeymoon, and this cruise was to celebrate her birthday. The romance was great, the live music wonderful, and the food excellent... the best is saved for last - the views from the boat during the sunset were perfect, how did they plan that lightning storm and downpour that ended just as the cruise ended? This was the first dinner on our honeymoon trip, and was by far the best.

Review by: Terri C	June 2011
We were picked up and returned to our hotel. The driver and other passengers were so much fun. The dinner and wine was wonderful. We had a 5 star evening. The lights and sights were ones we had only dreamed about. Thank You.

Review by: Hsyu-Chieng A L	May 2011
Awesome experience, beautiful evening, great dinner on The Crystal ship. The only thing we were kinda annoyed by was the photographer that's on the ship. He/she will come around and make each table pose in different stances and sell the photos to you at the end of the cruise. The Crsytal ship is new and very beautiful.

Review by: Grazhina L	May 2011
Amazing! Everything was so great! Thank you so much!

Review by: David R B	May 2011
Dinner Cruise very well done. We were picked up on time and our driver (Miguel?) was very informative - he also spoke 5 languages and communicated between ourselves and the other couple! Dinner was very good and the service excellent. Very well done. We would recommend this to others as a nice way to see part of the Seine River at night. The Premier Dinner Package is the way to go! The pick-up and drop off at hotel a worthwhile added touch with the table for 2 at the front of the boat - wonderful!

Review by: Anonymous, United States of America	July 2010
The dinner cruise was fabulous. We had a great dinner that included two bottles of wine and glasses of champagne. We danced and the service was impeccable. We were picked up at our hotel which was very nice.

Review by: Anonymous, United States of America	July 2010
This experience was perfect! My mom and I really enjoyed the private table with amazing views, the fantastic food and the ease with hotel pick-updrop-off.

Review by: KENNETH S, United States of America	July 2010
I actually don't think I can say enough about how wonderful this cruise was. We were celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary and even though the cruise seemed pricey, it was well worth it. We had a fabulous night, our waiter was wonderful pointing out the sites to us, wine and the food was spectacular. We did the premier service and had wonderful seats on the front of the boat next to the window. It was a night to remember forever and I am so happy that we booked this cruise.

Review by: Anonymous, United Kingdom	July 2010
I would strongly recommend this trip for a special occasion. It was my husband's 50th birthday and it was absolutely perfect. The boat, meal, entertainment and cruise was so special and romantic. It will be something that we will remember for the rest of our lives. To see the sites of Paris on a boat in such a fantastic setting was just magical. I had booked the 'premier' menu and we certainly did feel very special with a driver picking us up from our hotel, an absolutely delicious meal, great entertainment and the addition of a professional photographer to capture the occasion. All in all a wonderful time was had.

Review by: Karen D, United States of America	June 2010
We had a wonderful evening on this dinner cruise. We were picked up promptly from our hotel and were delivered right to the boat. The meal, sights, and music were fantastic!! We will be going on this dinner cruise the next visit to Paris again. Thank you Viator!

Picked up at our hotel on time and driver was there on the return which is very appreciated. The cruise itself was truly very special. Worth the money.

excellent

Review by: Fraser G, Canada	June 2010
This was the highlight of the Paris leg of my trip. The food was fantastic, the servers were excellent, the pickup and drop off service was great and the view was pretty good too! We had a private table with the Service Premier Menu well worth the extra money. We got a tour brochure telling us what we were seeing on the cruise and copies of the menu to take home. Additionally they came around and took pictures at our table for an additional cost. Normally I don't fall for these high priced tourist gimmicks...but the pictures were really much better that the ones I or my wife took. Paris at night is beautiful and you really get a good look at it from the Seine. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to enjoy good food, good service and a great view of Paris.
