Most of the Seine River's sightseeing fleets operate from piers near the Eiffel Tower and Trocadéro. The Vedettes du Pont-Neuf are a conspicuous exception: They depart from a pier on the Ile de la Cité, within easy walking distance of locations in the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th arrondissements.

Sightseeing cruises operate year-round, with a good selection of day and evening departures in all seasons. Most boats have 350 to 550 seats, although one boat--the Sisley--seats only 72 passengers (50 in restaurant configuration). Prices were a bit higher than competitors' cruises the last time I checked, but you can print your own Internet discount coupon for a €2 reduction.

Location: The Vedettes du Pont-Neuf pier and snack bar are at the western tip of the Ile de la Cité; a staircase leads down from the Pont-Neuf bridge.
