Step aboard your private Parisian cruise !
A drink with friends? An after-work get-together? A bachelorette party? A family dinner? A business lunch or dinner ?
The Seine rivals the Champs-Élysées as Paris’s most beautiful avenue—turn any occasion into an unforgettable experience as you cruise past the Grand Palais, Notre-Dame, and the Eiffel Tower.
Organize your private cruise aboard our boat “Sous le pont Mirabeau…” !
To complement the Seine’s exceptional setting in Paris, we chose to introduce “pontoon boats.”
These North American trimarans are elegant and dedicated to passenger comfort. In North America, they are known as “floating lounges” or “party boats” because they are so comfortable and perfect for a convivial atmosphere.
Welcome aboard “Sous le pont Mirabeau…”

Do you have any questions ?
Do I have the boat all to myself ?
Yes, we exclusively offer private cruises. Complete with a captain !
What is included in the cruise ?
For each cruise, in addition to the private use of the boat, we include one bottle (Prosecco or a soft drink) for every 6 guests, and two bottles for groups larger than 6. Glasses are provided.
Additional beverages and catering options are available upon request. White, red, or rosé wine, champagne, soft drinks… cheese and charcuterie platters, cocktail bites, raclette party.
Can I bring my own drinks and food ?
You may bring your own drinks or food at no extra cost.
Please let us know in advance what you plan to bring so we can set up the appropriate table arrangements.
We recommend choosing food that can be eaten without utensils anc suitable for potential turbulence !
How many people can the boat accommodate ? Do children count ?
The boat can accommodate up to 12 guests, in addition to the 2 crew members.
All children, regardless of age, are counted as passengers and are the responsibility of the accompanying adults.
What happens if the number of passengers ends up being different from the number booked ?
By default, the cost of the cruise is a flat rate for up to 6 passengers.
For more than 6 passengers, the cost of the cruise is adjusted upon boarding:
– plus or minus €55 per passenger for a one-hour cruise
– approximately €75 per passenger for a one-and-a-half-hour cruise
– approximately €90 per passenger for a two-hour cruise.
What happens if one of the passengers is running late ?
With your consent, we can wait for a latecomer. But if another cruise is scheduled to follow yours, we must adhere to the originally scheduled return time for your cruise, which means it will be shortened.
To avoid this kind of inconvenience, please insist that your guests arrive 15 minutes before the boarding time.
Is it possible to arrange a boarding or return location other than our home port at the La Baleine barge ?
No, we operate exclusively from the dock of the La Baleine Blanche houseboat.
Is it possible to stop during the cruise ?
Arriving at a dock without a prior reservation or remaining stationary on the river is not permitted in Paris. The captain can, however, slow down to allow you to take photos.
Is it possible to extend a cruise ?
This may be possible, provided the captain is available and the extension does not affect a subsequent booking.
Is there music and commentary during the cruise ?
The boat is equipped with a high-quality sound system to which you can connect via Bluetooth to play your playlists.
As for commentary, the captain is available upon request to enhance the cruise with historical information and anecdotes.
I saw in the photos that there’s a video screen at the front, is that correct ?
Yes, we can install a video screen at the front of the boat at no extra charge. This screen, designed for store windows, works very well in bright light.
It’s perfect for showing a family slideshow or displaying a PC screen for a business meeting!
Is smoking allowed on board ?
Unfortunately, smoking is not allowed on board the boat due to the upholstery and carpeting.
Are there restrooms on board ?
No, pontoon boats are not equipped with restrooms.
Is it possible to organize a night cruise ?
Yes, it is possible—the Seine is open all night long! Please contact us, as very late hours may incur an additional fee for the pilot.
What are the payment terms ?
The cruise and any options must be paid in full at the time of booking.
What are the cancellation terms ?
– Up to 96 hours (4 days) before departure, you can cancel your cruise and receive a full refund.

Please note that our boat can be fully enclosed and even heated, so there is no need to worry in the event of poor weather—we will always create a comfortable, cozy atmosphere for you.
On the other hand, Ma Croisière à Paris may be obliged to cancel a cruise if sailing conditions are unsafe (strong winds, powerful currents) or in the event of a technical issue with the boat. In such cases, you will receive a full refund.
