3.The Dinner Cruise (from 60€)

This cruise is one of the top among the Paris boat tours. It is perfect for those looking for a romantic date night. Generally these cruises take 2 hours. However there is a meal beginning at 6:30 that takes only 1 hour and 15 minutes. This option is great for those who do not have much time or have children. Every Paris boat tour company offers a superb meal, however similar to the lunch cruise, the cost will vary depending on where your table is placed in the boat (i.e. in the center or by the windows) and what meal you choose. To continue this enjoyable evening it is not a bad idea to view a show at a cabaret such as Lido or Crazy Horse.
