This was a wonderful trip that I was really looking forward to as my husband and I celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary. The main down side was the amount of noise another group were making. They were very loud throughout which impacted on our experience

The food is excellent and the wines are equally good. There is plenty of both! This was my second experience on this lunch cruise. Both times were great!

We had an incredible time on our lunch cruise along the Seine River. The food was delicious, the staff were friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was just perfect. As we cruised, we passed so many amazing Paris landmarks — including the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, Notre Dame Chapel, and countless others along the river. It was such a relaxing and beautiful way to take in the city’s history and architecture. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Paris!

We had a beautiful sunny day, we had chosen to sit in the window area & it was lovely ( although we did get annoyed with patrons from other areas leaning over us to take photos) the food was nicely presented & tasty. Lovely champagne & wines ( although for us a little too much as we didn’t drink it all)

We booked this as we were in Paris for our 35th anniversary. We really enjoyed the food, scenery and the service. Had a great time!

Unfortunately, this was a disappointing cruise. When we entered the boat the two people at the front desk, a man and a woman, weren't friendly or warm. I would say they were just a tad bit shy of being condescending. They weren't condescending, but they were close to that. However after we got past that point the actual waiters and the people who greeted us as we got on the boat, were very warm, friendly and professional. The food wasn't great. And I thought we were rushed to place our order for for a main course, etc. And it didn't make sense because the food service was over and we still had more than 20 minutes of boat riding left. So there was no sense in rushing us. My wife's duck was undercooked. And when we sent it back to be cooked some more it still came back undercooked. My meal -- the salmon was okay but nothing special. There were two female waitresses in our section. The smaller of the two was very affable and very caring and trying her best. The other one was nice, but I thought she was rushing us a bit, but it wasn't so much the waitresses. It was the two people at the reception desk who set a bad vibe from the beginning. If it wasn't for the other members of the wait staff and the people who greeted us as we actually got on the boat. I would give them a two rating. But those people save the day so I give them a three rating. But I will never do another cruise with them.

Nice views and right amount of time on the boat and a good activity on the day we arrived after a long red eye flight.

We had the table by the front of the boat. The food and service was great. Wife and I enjoyed the view from the boat angle worth it.
