About this activity

Don’t miss the chance to relive the magic of the Paris 2024 Olympic Opening Ceremony: step onto this cruise along the Seine River and sail past the very riverbanks where the world watched Paris shine. From the historic Pont Neuf, one of Paris’ most central and iconic meeting points, you’ll board a comfortable boat with an open-air terrace, then glide along the Seine as the city’s monuments light up one by one. This is not just a simple boat ride: a live guide shares stories and insights in English and French, bringing the city’s history and landmarks to life. As you leave Pont Neuf behind, Paris opens up in front of you: Île de la Cité, Notre-Dame Cathedral, the Louvre Museum, the Musée d’Orsay, the Eiffel Tower and more.
