Paris Magic sightseeing cruise
Let yourself be hypnotised by the magic of Paris on this river cruise around the heart of this historical city and discover the beauty of the banks of the River Seine.
With background music evoking the various places and times of Paris’ history, you won’t be able to resist the pull of the magnificent bridges of Paris as you are drawn down the river.
From bridge to bridge and from quay to quay you will be escorted by Parisians on their bicycles and on foot. The boat affords an excellent vantage point from which to view Paris’s many sights with large panoramic windows.
Observe the magnificent bridges of Paris as you drift underneath them. See the Pont Neuf, incongruously named the New Bridge but which is now the oldest bridge in Paris. Reach the centre point of Paris as you pass Cité Island, which, along with Saint-Louis Island, is a naturally formed island situated in the river, and on which the impressive Notre-Dame Cathedral sits.
Climb aboard and be captured by the stories of the sights along the banks of the River Seine. Declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, the river tells the tale of the city’s heritage. You will be spellbound as the city’s story is told by the clear and vivid commentary broadcast through individual headsets.
This river cruise, leaving from Eiffel Tower is the perfect option for exploring the Paris you have always dreamt of.
