If you’ve selected the Paris: 1 Hour Seine River Cruise with Optional Louvre Museum Tickets, your Parisian experience begins with a journey through one of the world’s most extraordinary cultural treasures, the Louvre Museum. Located in the heart of Paris, this architectural masterpiece stands as a symbol of art, history, and imagination. As you step inside, you’ll enter a realm of timeless beauty where every corridor unveils a new discovery.
Wander through vast galleries showcasing over 35,000 artworks across 73,000 square meters of exhibition space. The museum’s three wings, Denon, Sully, and Richelieu, each offer a unique experience, from ancient sculptures and royal artifacts to Renaissance paintings and modern masterpieces. Stand before Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, admire the graceful Venus de Milo, and marvel at iconic works such as the Winged Victory of Samothrace and The Coronation of Napoleon. Each exhibit reveals a new layer of creativity, culture, and human achievement.
The Louvre’s story begins in the 12th century, when it was constructed as a fortress to defend the city of Paris. It later became a royal palace and, during the French Revolution in 1793, was transformed into a public museum. Today, it stands as the largest and most visited museum in the world, attracting millions each year. Its eight departments, from Egyptian Antiquities to Decorative Arts and Paintings, present an extraordinary panorama of human history, from ancient civilizations to 19th-century Europe.
After your museum visit, embark on the second part of your adventure, a 1-hour Seine River Cruise that reveals Paris from a whole new perspective. Step aboard a modern, glass-covered boat with spacious open-air decks designed for panoramic views. As you glide gently along the Seine, admire the Eiffel Tower, Les Invalides, the Louvre Museum, the Musée d’Orsay, and the Notre-Dame Cathedral. The riverbanks, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, are lined with elegant bridges, picturesque houseboats, and classic Parisian architecture.
Throughout your cruise, enjoy an audio guide available in multiple languages that brings each monument and landmark to life with engaging stories and historical insights. The gentle rhythm of the river, combined with breathtaking views and the city’s artistic legacy, creates an unforgettable experience, one that beautifully captures the essence of Paris, both on land and water.
