Before you book

Seine River Cruise ticket questions that affect what you should buy

Use these checks before choosing between official Seine River Cruise tickets and partner products.

Which Seine cruise is cheapest?

On the prices we checked, Vedettes du Pont Neuf was cheapest at €15 online for an adult aged 13 and over. Bateaux Mouches cost €17, and Bateaux Parisiens and Vedettes de Paris €18; buying at the pier costs €2 to €3 more.

Choose the departure point that suits your day: Pont Neuf is central, while Bateaux Parisiens and Vedettes de Paris leave near the Eiffel Tower.

Vedettes du Pont Neuf: cruises

How much does a Seine dinner cruise cost?

The cheapest dinner cruises we found were €59 with Vedettes du Pont Neuf's partner France Tourisme, which leaves from Pont Alexandre III, €90 for Bateaux Mouches' 18:00 early dinner and €99 for Bateaux Parisiens' 18:15 dinner.

Check the departure point and boarding time: the early dinner cruises last about 1 hour 15 minutes.

Bateaux Mouches: dinner cruises

Is the Batobus a good alternative to a cruise?

The Batobus is a hop-on hop-off boat that stops at nine points along the Seine. A 24-hour pass costs €23 and a 48-hour pass €27, counted from first use.

Choose it if you want to use the river to travel between sights rather than take a single return cruise.
