Program details

Experience all the charms of Paris from the water with this magical river shuttle excursion. Skip the queues at the Louvre and enjoy a guided tour of the greatest masterpieces of European art, from the Venus de Milo to the Mona Lisa. The Louvre, originally the principal palace of the French monarchy, is one of the world's largest museums and a historic monument in its own right. Packed with the most important art in the world and centrally located on the elegant Right Bank, it draws millions of visitors per year.

Then it’s all aboard the river shuttle to watch the city go by as we drift gracefully down the Seine to our next stop. Spot lovers, dog walkers and booksellers lining the busy banks and quays. At the Eiffel Tower, tuck into a delicious two-course lunch served in the new 1st floor restaurant. Admire the incredible engineering of this iconic building, constructed in 1889 as the entrance arch to the World’s Fair. It’s still the tallest structure in Paris, and more people visit here than any other paid monument worldwide. Gaze out over the crisp lawns of the Champs de Mars and the tiny streets below before hopping back on the boat.

Finally, visit Notre-Dame Cathedral, pinnacle of French Gothic architecture and tragic location for Victor Hugo’s much-loved novel, The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Discover the secret life of this remarkable medieval building and its exquisite art and iconography with a guided tour.
