What does this ticket include?
Tickets for Seine River cruises grant access to vessels designed for passenger transport through the waterway that crosses the French capital. These tickets include a seventy-minute journey during which passengers use audio guides in different languages.
From the deck, the traveler observes monuments such as the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum, and Notre Dame Cathedral. The route also permits the observation of bridges such as Pont Neuf and Pont Alexandre III. The experience on the Seine River facilitates the view of the architecture of the facades located on the banks, designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1991.
What can you see with your Seine Cruises ticket?
Tickets for the Seine cruise permit the observation of architectural elements and monuments located on the banks of the river. Some of them include the following:
The Eiffel Tower
The cruise journey allows for the viewing of the Eiffel Tower from the perspective of the water. This iron structure rises above the left bank of the Seine River and constitutes the geographic reference point of the route. Passengers have the opportunity to observe the three sections of the tower and the elevators that perform the vertical displacement of visitors.
Next to the base of the construction lies the Champ de Mars, a surface of grass and paths that reaches the Military School. The Seine River cruise passes in front of this space, allowing for the observation of the symmetry of the surroundings and the arrangement of the vegetation on the edges of the riverbed.
