Everything you need to know about boat cruises in Paris
Where do you pick them up from?
Quai Branly, which is just next to the bottom of the Eiffel Tower.

No, there is no bar or refreshment facilities on the 1 hour cruises.
Which direction do they go?
They go from the Eiffel Tower down the river towards Notre Dame, and back again
For the Lunch and Dinner cruises, when do you have to get there?
Boarding begins at 12h15 and leaves at 12h45 for the lunches and boarding starts at 19h45 and leaves at 20h30 for the Dinners, and they ask that you arrive no later than 15 minutes before the boat departs.
For the lunch and dinner cruises, will I be allowed in wearing jeans, trainers, shorts or t-shirts?
For the lunch cruise the answer is yes, so long as they are not ripped or ragged. However for the dinner cruise the answer is no. If you arrive for the dinner cruise dressed in these clothes you will not be allowed onto the boat.
What do the different names of the meals mean?
The different names mean the different parts of the boat where you will be sitting. Etoile Service is in the middle of the boat, Select service means you will be on the sides of the boat, and Premier service means you will sit at the front of the boat.
If I choose the Etoile service, will I still be able to see out?
The boats are covered in glass so you will be able to see out wherever you are seated.
