Seine Cruises Tickets

The Louvre Museum

The boat advances in front of the facade of the Louvre Museum, a complex that houses art collections and remains of the original fortress. From the deck, travelers can look at the wing of the Great Gallery, which extends parallel to the flow of the river. The navigation facilitates the view of the stone walls and the windows that compose the exterior structure of this former royal palace.

Following the building, the Tuileries Garden is situated, where rows of trees and the statues that decorate the enclosure can be distinguished. The route allows for the view of the transition between the palatial architecture and the open spaces destined for pedestrian traffic.

Notre Dame Cathedral

The vessel surrounds the Île de la Cité, the enclave where Notre Dame Cathedral is located. Passengers can observe the western facade with its towers and the space previously occupied by the central spire. The journey offers a view of the lateral flying buttresses and the walls that form the apse of the Gothic temple.

In addition to the cathedral, the Palace of Justice and the Conciergerie, with its cylindrical towers bordering the river, come into view. The perspective from the water allows for the perception of the elevation of the stone wharves and the structure of the bridges that connect the island with the rest of the city.

The Pont Neuf

Navigation along the Seine River permits the observation of structures such as the Pont Neuf, the stone construction of the greatest antiquity crossing the river. Passengers can look from the boat at the arches that support the roadway and the masks carved into the cornice of the bridge.

This work of civil engineering offers a perspective of the foundations that have supported the flow of the Seine River water since the 17th century.

The Pont Alexandre III

The journey also allows for the contemplation of the Pont Alexandre III, a work of metal that stands out for its ornamentation. The traveler observes the four stone pylons topped by gilded bronze statues representing fame.

From the river, the iron lampposts and the reliefs that decorate the single arch of the structure can be distinguished. The position from the water highlights the absence of intermediate pillars, which permits an unobstructed view of the urban horizon.

Closing days

The cruise service operates all year round. However, on specific dates such as 14 July, 24 December and 31 December, routes are modified or regular tours are suspended due to official celebrations and dinner services.

In addition, navigation depends on the water level of the River Seine. If the flow exceeds the safety limit, the authorities suspend passage under the bridges.
