Settle into the glass-enclosed Capitaine Fracasse for a two-hour Seine cruise and French 3-course dinner. You’ll pass the Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Notre Dame, Musée d’Orsay, and Bercy, with terrace access for photos. Drinks cost extra, and the boat is not suited to people with mobility impairments.

“Great boat ride. Food was good and we had great views. Nice to see the city from a different vantage point. There really wasn’t a lot to the ride- you sit, you eat, you take a few pics and then you get off. It was fun for what it was.”

“2 criticisms comes to mind, firstly it was called a Sunset dinner Cruise, our cruise was completed before sunset. Secondly the food wasn’t great, the main course was cold and the chicken very dry. A bit of a disappointment, I booked the cruise for 6 people to celebrate a 90th birthday and everyone was disappointed with their main course.”

“Without a doubt the best experience we had in Phuket. The transfers were well organised and the staff were amazing. But best of all the Catamaran was absolutely incredible, plenty of room to either sit down stairs at our designated tables or relax upstairs on the well shaded sun beds. James Bond island was great, we got there later in the afternoon and there was no one else there. The food was also a highlight, really well done. We did a few island trips and this one was by far the best. We 100% recommended this trip.”
