Option 1 — Classic Seine Sightseeing Cruise (from the Eiffel Tower)
Departing near the Eiffel Tower, settle into a comfortable boat and enjoy a leisurely loop along the Seine. Sip a drink, listen to French music, and admire landmarks including the Grand Palais, Louvre, Musée d’Orsay, and Notre-Dame Cathedral.

FAQs
Can I do the cruise and Eiffel Tower on the same day?
Yes. With the combo, visit the Tower at your timed entry, then take the cruise later the same day (or within the ticket’s validity window).
Is the Batobus a guided tour?
No, it’s hop-on hop-off river transport with multiple stops; use it like a floating bus to build your own itinerary.
What’s the best time to cruise?
Sunset/early evening offers beautiful light; daytime departures give brighter photos and more frequent service.
