"Dinner cruises on the Seine have been on the Parisian visitor'sbucket list since they were first introduced. Some of the modern boats lack charm, and the expensive food they serve is often less than stellar, two developments thatthreaten to give the tradition a bad name. Le Calife , a 1939 wooden barge full of nautical brass, is a glamorous exception. The boat cruises the river twice a day on two-hour itineraries and servesa light and creative menu with inspired vegetarian options for each course. Aglass-enclosed dining deckprovides a clear view of the city, regardless of the weather."

We had this dinner cruise on the Seine booked well in advance. The ride was smooth, and the pace was perfect (boat and service). Dinner was delicious. All the options were perfect. I ordered the lamb (highly suggest), and the others ordered the steak (just as delicious. They wished they had what I did, though). I'm not a cheesecake cake person but chose to get the lemon cheesecake....BEST choice!! It was so delicious and light. I only took photos of the 1st course that we ordered and my dessert. There was a slight chill while seated (after Christmas), but it wasn't uncomfortable. We got a lot of great photos and passed the Eiffel Tower just as it sparkled at 10 pm. Thank you to the captain and crew for a great experience!

I've booked a dinner cruise to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday, and it was the best decision! I'm so glad I picked this one over other cruises that offer the same..Le Calife is so classy, elegant and cozy. The jazz music playing in the background (not live), the wooden boat, the design..I felt like I'm in an old French movie. I loved the atmosphere. We sat in the terrace, and we had the menu Royal. The food was AMAZING. I couldn't stop talking about how good everything was. The staff was very kind and attentive and the views were beautiful! Thank you so much for everything, I highly recommend it and I will definitely go there again.

This dinner cruise was the highlight of our trip. The boat is the nicest dinner cruise boat that you will see on the Seine, and the service and food are excellent. This can be a wonderful dinner for a family, as it was ours...or a great option for a romantic date. People dressed smart casual for the dinner cruise, and it left the dock at 845pm, returning around 11pm. It is suitable for pre teens, and very well behaved elementary school kids. Loved it!

Exceptional dinner cruise on the Seine. We enjoyed the food, the atmosphere, the service, and the magical setting. One of the top three things I've ever done on vacation. They even did a little birthday celebration at the end that we didn't expect. We had a glass of champagne waiting for us as we sat down, had a whole bottle of wine for the night. It is a full 3-course meal. What a wonderful eat in Paris. If you want to see the top highlights of Paris while eating an amazing dinner, go here. The entire tour takes about 2 hours from start to finish and we got to see the Eiffel Tower when it was lit up and sparkling at the top of the hour which was near the finale of the boat cruise.

Absolutely the most romantic thing you could do in Paris as a couple. Totally worth it. The atmosphere was great, felt like in an old french movie. The view is phenomenal! We booked the Veranda with the Calife menu that included three courses and a welcoming cocktail for 234€. At 22:00 the cruise passes by the eiffel tower as it sparkles and you can go on the deck to take pictures. It was magical and the food was delicious.

FANTASTIC LIFETIME MEMORY we specifically choose this dinner cruise as opposed to many other larger cruises due to its intimate setting, outstanding reviews and of course value for money We were not disappointed. Love the quaint salon style dining, the OUTSTANDING service and of course the magnificent meal. The scenes the cruise offered us were spectacular. Loved it. A total highlight of our trip to Paris.

My wife, teenage daughter and I were on this dinner cruise Dec. 30. We were impressed! The staff welcomed us onboard as soon as we arrived and knew our name. We were then welcomed with an amuse bouch, and glass of champagne. Our waiter was very attentive and accommodating to our needs. The food might have been the star of the show! The food was amazing! Some of the best we had in Paris. The ship was nicely appointed, warm, and the restrooms were clean and stylish. As we crossed along the Seine, the ride was very smooth and relaxing and the evening lights of Paris on the river Seine were mesmerizing. I would highly recommend Le Calife and I would do it all over again!

Amazing meal and atmosphere. Dining whilst sailing up and down the river Seine is something we will never forget. We first did this dinner cruise on our honeymoon 35 years ago and this time it was even better as the waitress enquired if this was a special occasion and when she found out she served our desserts with sparklers and announced to all the diners the reason for her doing this which resulted in a massive round of applause from the diners. What a memorable night. Thank you so much. Kevin & Mary O'Donnell, Scotland
