Recomendations for Siene Cruise?

Can anyone recommend a place or cruise guide they used for Siene cruise?

How much was your cruise? Did you enjoy it? Any tips for going on these cruises? Can I just drop in or do I need to reserve online?

No you do not need reservatons. Go to this website
www.vedettesdupontneuf.com
You will get the info. You can prepurchse tickets that can be used anytime or you can just print out a 2 euro internet discount. If you are definitely taking a cruise the prepaid is cheaper.This ticket can be used anytime. You do not lock in a date or time.The prepaid price is 8 Euros
.I love the trip on the Seine and do it each trip. I highly recommend taking it at night after 9. Seeing the city of Paris lit up is always a thrill. I believe the last trip leaves at 10PM.

The boat will be at the Pont Neuf. Go to their website and click the link labeled Access. You might want to arrive early so you are in line. An alternative is to print the Internet discount ticket, then go to the ticket office and make reservations for later that day. You're still saving some money.

Located western tip of Ile de la Cite. Nice park there (Square du Vert Galant) to spend time at. I've never had a trip sold out. The boas are smaller than those near Place d'Alma, so if you are worried, here's what I would do. Since I would recommend doing a night cruise, and preferably the last one of the day to ensure dark and the lights are all on, and since dinner in Paris is ~7:30 onwards...and since VdPN is near a restaurants on the Left Bank...around 7PM go book, go for dinner, be back for last cruise.

If you search for Bateaux Mouches or Bateaux Parisiens ...other options.

There are also coach tour+ cruise combos as well as Seine dinner cruises. I would stick to a cruise only.
