Private cruise on the Seine: our pick in Paris

An extraordinary moment on the water: our pick of the capital

To mark a special occasion, a restaurant table or a private lounge aren't the only options. A birthday, a proposal, a corporate seminar, or simply the wish to show Paris in a new light to loved ones visiting from afar: a private cruise on the Seine ticks every box. Unlike group cruises such as the bateaux-mouches, it offers an intimate, human-scale setting where everyone enjoys the ride at their own pace. Here are three addresses to live this experience in Paris.

Discover our favourite cruises here:

Green River Paris

A flexible fleet ranging from electric boats to exceptional vessels and spacious pontoon boats, with departures possible from Paris, Nogent-sur-Marne and Boulogne, on both the Seine and the Marne.
The packages, running from one to three hours, sail past the Pont Alexandre III, the Eiffel Tower or the Statue of Liberty depending on the departure point, and include two bottles of wine or a bottle of champagne for romantic cruises. One trip on the Seine is all it takes to wish you'd booked longer.

10 quai d'Austerlitz, 75013 Paris

Riviera Seine

An entirely electric fleet, designed and built in France on the Arcachon basin, for silent cruising aboard the Marinella or the Vernazza, each seating twelve passengers. Departures are from the foot of the Pont Alexandre III, and the house keeps a close tie to gastronomy through a wine and food menu created with neighbouring restaurant Riviera Fuga, perfect for extending the evening with dinner right by the water.

10 Port des Invalides, 75007 Paris

Seine Avenue

A fleet of collector's boats, carefully sourced and restored: the Murano, a Venetian motoscafo, the Lugano, a runabout from the Alpine lakes, the Fårö, a Scandinavian launch, and the Kaïros, a Dutch tender, all in the purest tradition of the Riva and Chris-Craft shipyards. Departures leave from the Quai de la Photo marina, near the Bibliothèque nationale de France, a spot also conceived as a cultural space dedicated to photography. The ideal address for a more low-key cruise, backed by fifteen years of experience and a genuine love of nautical heritage.

Quai de la Photo, 75013 Paris
