Tips to make the most of your Seine cruise

- Arrive early. Arrive at the pier at least 20–30 minutes before departure to board calmly and get the best seats, especially in high season.
- Prepare your camera or phone. The best shots are usually by the railing, but remember: no flash or selfie sticks! Let the natural light of Paris do the rest.
- Bring a light jacket. Even in summer, the breeze from the Seine can be cool at dusk. If you travel in autumn or winter, opt for warm clothing.
