Food absolutely delicious but different menu to advertised on app. We chose to buy drinks onboard rather than champagne package and that was great. A lovely lady singing and commentating added to the atmosphere and fun. Highly recommend!”

Seine Dinner Cruise, Eiffel Tower Access and Moulin Rouge Show

12.Seine Dinner Cruise, Eiffel Tower Access and Moulin Rouge Show

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 2,310 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $483

Start around 6:30 pm with a three-course Seine dinner cruise, then visit the Eiffel Tower’s second floor before heading to Montmartre for the Moulin Rouge Féerie show. Champagne, shared tables, coach transfers, and a city-center drop-off are included, but timing and seating can vary.

“With the cost of the tickets for this experience, I was shocked that you had to pay extra for beef on the dinner cruise and we were charged 8 euros for a bottle of water! That was extremely excessive and I was very disappointed by that! Everything else was good although you really don’t have a lot of time for the Eiffel Tower tour and hope to catch the bus on time for the Moulin Rouge. The last issue was that there’s supposed to be a dress code for the Moulin Rouge, but it looked like you could actually wear whatever you want!”
