Perfect Timing

When to visit for the best experience

The magical hours between late spring and early autumn offer the most enchanting evenings on the Seine. Summer nights are particularly special as the city glows under long dusks, and the Eiffel Tower's sparkle display creates a breathtaking backdrop to your dinner.

Photography Guide

Capture the perfect shots

• Position yourself near the windows or open deck areas when the Eiffel Tower comes into view for the best illuminated shots

• Ask the onboard photographer to capture your moment in front of the sparkling tower — it's worth it for the perfect keepsake

• Use a slightly longer exposure to capture the glittering reflections on the Seine's surface

Cultural Etiquette

Respect local customs and traditions

French dining is a leisurely affair — savor each course and embrace the unhurried rhythm of the evening. It's customary to keep your hands visible at the table and to thank your server with a polite 'merci.' Raising a glass and saying 'santé' before your first sip is a lovely touch.
