For the romantic evening of a lifetime, reserve a dinner cruise while on vacation in Paris. You'll float gently up the serene River Seine in the evening, with the lights of Paris sparkling on the water. You'll understand why Paris is called the City of Lights when you view the historic buildings lining both banks of the river illuminated in a stunning display of gold light. Toast with champagne, feast on delicious French cuisine, enjoy a slow dance on the river and gaze at the Eiffel Tower reflected in the slow waves. - Dine aboard the Captain Fracasso, a glass-windowed restaurant barge, and enjoy fine dining with white linen tablecloths and crystal glassware. While you take in Parisian scenes, such as stunning views of the Eiffel Tower, from your seat, chefs trained in some of the most famous kitchens in Paris, such as Lucas Carton and Hotel de Crillon, will prepare a traditional French meal. Cruise options include simple dinner cruises without drinks and sophisticated wine cruises where you will enjoy a variety of expensive French wines to complement your meal. Cruises are two hours.

croisiere-paris.com - Cruising up and down the Seine for more than 60 years, the bateaux-mouches, or glass-topped "fly boats," offer one of the oldest Seine cruises in Paris. On each of the five dedicated restaurant boats in the fleet you'll enjoy a gourmet meal, with a roving string quartet playing sentimental French tunes to set the romantic mood. Each table sits in front of a large glass window, and, unlike other cruises, no table has an obstructed view as the beauty of Paris at night slowly passes in front of you.
Chefs go to the local markets daily and prepare a menu based around fresh local meats and produce. A sample menu may include an apertif, such as a glass of champagne; a starter, such as foie gras; a main course, like roast lamb and vegetables; and a cheese plate, dessert, coffee and cognac. Each fixed-price meal also includes a bottle of wine to be shared by a couple. If you have allergies or specific meal requests, notify the cruise 72 hours in advance for the chef to prepare a suitable meal for you. To suit the romantic atmosphere, you are required to wear evening attire.
