What Can I Expect

Hop on the Eurostar to Paris and set sail down the Seine for a lunch cruise tour of the French capital! This is a fabulous guided day trip from London across the Channel to visit the impossibly romantic city of Paris.

Just over two hours after your Eurostar train pulls out of London St Pancras station, you'll be saying bonjour to Paris's Gare du Nord . A guided coach tour will then show you all the main landmarks and sights of Paris in comfort.

You will then be dropped off at the  Bateaux Parisien pier by the Eiffel Tower , where the lunch cruise vessel will be waiting for you. A three-course lunch with wine will be served at your table. And yes, it's just as you'd expect - traditional French cuisine, all freshly prepared onboard by talented chefs using in-season produce.

And as for the view from these all-glass boats, it is simply breathtaking. Heading off from the port at the Eiffel Tower, you will glide past Les Invalides, L'Assemblee Nationale, the Orsay museum and the Institut de France. You'll see the French national library, before heading back down stream past the Ile St Louis and the Ile de la Cite, home to the famous Notre Dame (and its hunchback!).

Passing the Louvre and the Place de la Concorde, you continue to the Statue of Liberty on the Ile aux Cygnes, before heading back to your original point of departure at the Port de la Bourdonnais.

After disembarking your Seine cruise boat, you have time to take photos at the Eiffel Tower, before heading back to the Gard du Nord to catch the return Eurostar back to London. With the rapidity of Eurostar, you can easily 'do lunch' on a Paris river cruise in just a day!
