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.

What are the cancellation terms ?

– Up to 96 hours (4 days) before departure, you can cancel your cruise and receive a full refund.
– Up to 48 hours (2 days) before departure, the cruise can no longer be cancelled, but it can be rescheduled free of charge. The new date will be subject to availability.
– Less than 48 hours before departure, the cruise and any options are payable in full and no refunds will be issued.

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.
