From golden hour to the city lights
The long version of our sunset cruise. Two hours is enough to take in the whole historic heart of Paris in golden light, watch the sun go down, and stay on the water as the city lights up — with time to catch the Eiffel Tower sparkle.

Frequently asked questions
Does the departure time change with the season?+
Yes — we adjust departure time to local sunset, which shifts across the year, roughly 5pm in winter to 9:30pm in summer.
Will we see the Eiffel Tower sparkle?+
The Eiffel Tower sparkles for five minutes on the hour once it's dark. The 2h cruise runs late enough after sunset that your captain can time the route for it.
What if it's cloudy?+
The cruise still runs — Paris at dusk is beautiful even without a visible sunset, and lights come on regardless.
Can we bring our own drinks?+
Yes, or choose our drinks package — just let us know when you book.
