Capitaine Fracasse

The relatively small and cozy Capitaine Fracasse is a bargain by Paris dinner-cruise standards, with prices of €50 for dinner alone or €69 with an apéritif, wine, mineral water, and coffee. The children's menu is €40, and you can celebrate a birthday with a cake and sparklers for an extra €7 per person. Cruises run Tuesday through Sunday, with boarding times varying with the season.

For more information, including timetables, visit the boat's bilingual Web site at www.croisiere-paris.com.

La Marina

This company offers two dinner cruises each day, with prices that include wine.

The first service boards at 6:30 p.m. and departs at 6:45 p.m., arriving back at the quay below the Musée d'Orsay at 8 p.m. The cost is €46 or €61, and children pay €39 (unless they can talk Dad, Mom, or Granny into picking up the tab).

The second service has a 9 p.m. boarding time, with departure at 9:15 p.m. and return at 11:15 p.m. A "Prestige Menu" is served, and the price is €89.

You can also book lunch cruises from on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. The price is €51 for adults and €39 for kids under 12.

For a cruise itinerary and menus, see La Marina de Paris.

Yachts de Paris

It's hard to beat the atmosphere of the Don Juan II, a vintage motor yacht with only 15 tables. Unfortunately, the boat has stopped offering dinners for the general public, though private charters are still available. For information, visit Yachts de Paris.
