🇫🇷 Seine River Dinner Cruise: A Magical (But Flawed) Night

If there’s one splurge-worthy experience in Paris, it’s a Seine dinner cruise—especially at night when the Eiffel Tower sparkles! Here’s the real deal: 🚢 Booking Details Company: Bateaux Parisiens Time slots: 12:45PM, 6:15PM, 8:30PM (best for sunset + lights!) Price: ~¥2900 for window seats (worth it!). Meeting point: Port de la Bourdonnais (under the Eiffel Tower). ✨ Highlights ✔ 22:00 & 23:00: Tower sparkles hourly (5 mins!)—ship docks RIGHT underneath at 11PM! ✨ ✔ Golden hour → blue hour → night lights: All in one cruise. ✔ Photographer onboard: €25/photo (pay only if you like it). ✔ Pre-boarding: Sip champagne on deck for epic Eiffel shots. ⚠️ Brutally Honest Warnings ❌ Food = airplane-meal tier (even worse than pre-made dishes!). ❌ Freezing at night—bring a thick jacket. ❌ Glass reflections ruin night photos (shoot early!). ❌ Taxi scam alert: Uber > overpriced cabs by the dock. ❌ Dead phone? Bring a power bank—ours died mid-Journey home! 😅 📸 Pro Tips 20:30 slot = perfect for sunset + lights. Window seats = non-negotiable for views. Pre-game eats: Grab a croissant beforehand—you’ll need it. #SeineRiverMagic #EiffelTowerLights #ParisSplurge 💫
