CRUISE ON THE SEINE

This combo ticket offers visitors to Paris an opportunity to experience two of the city’s most iconic attractions: the Louvre Museum and a Seine River cruise. The package includes a timed-entrance ticket to the Louvre, allowing visitors to skip the regular line and secure access to one of the world’s largest and most visited museums. Once inside, you can explore at your own pace, viewing famous masterpieces like the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo, and the Coronation of Napoleon I.

The Louvre ticket is valid only for the specific date and time selected, and even with timed entry, there may still be some waiting at the priority entrance due to security checks. It’s worth noting that visitors under 18 and EU residents under 26 can enter the Louvre for free with valid ID.

The combo also includes a 1-hour sightseeing cruise along the Seine River, which can be used anytime during your stay in Paris, offering flexibility in planning your itinerary. This cruise provides excellent views of the city’s landmarks and architecture from the water.

As of the listing, the combo ticket is priced at €25 per person, reduced from €50, with an option to reserve now and pay later. You can cancel up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund. The experience is available in multiple languages, including English, French, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese. You can order it from here.

While designed as a full-day experience, you can split the activities across different days if preferred. For the Louvre visit, you’ll receive tickets by email the day before, and the museum is easily accessible by metro.

It’s important to bring a passport or ID card, wear comfortable shoes, and be aware that large bags, food and drinks, umbrellas, and baby strollers are not allowed in the museum. The Louvre is also free on the first Sunday of each month from October to March.

Customer reviews give the combo an overall rating of 3.9 out of 5 based on 4,783 reviews, with particular appreciation for the timed entry to the Louvre. The Seine cruise receives mixed reviews, with some finding it enjoyable and others feeling it was crowded.

For the best experience, consider visiting the Louvre in the morning when it’s less crowded and be prepared for potential lines for the cruise, especially around sunset. The combo includes assistance at the exchange office to help you enter the Louvre faster.

Given the vast size of the Louvre, having a plan or using the provided guide can help navigate the most important exhibits.

This combo ticket offers a convenient way to experience two major Parisian attractions with benefits like timed entry and flexibility for the cruise. It’s particularly suitable for first-time visitors who want to see the city’s iconic art and architecture both from within the Louvre and from the perspective of the Seine.

The price point and cancellation policy make it an attractive option for those planning their Paris itinerary, but visitors should be prepared for potential crowds, especially on the river cruise, and plan their Louvre visit strategically to make the most of the experience.
