It was well worth it. We did the Christmas night cruise at 8pm and it was so much fun. The waiter was great, the male and female singing duo were amazing. The music was so relaxing and perfect for a nice dinner cruise. The food was awesome and so were the views of Paris at night along the Seine.

This was the perfect Christmas Eve in Paris! Service on the cruise was impeccable. Our server was very friendly and engaging. The 5 course dinner was delicious with lovely presentation of each course. The wine was flowing freely, there was live entertainment and viewing the sights and lights of Paris from the Seine was awe inspiring. We had upgraded to a table for 2 against the window when reserving and were glad that we did as it was more private and some of the inner tables didn’t have as good a view as we did. Fantastic experience! Would highly recommend!
