No trip to Paris is complete without a cruise along the iconic Seine. While numerous companies offer large group tours with audio guides, those seeking something a more exclusive will find that a private boat charter offers an unforgettable upgrade. Whether you're planning a romantic getaway or a stylish family outing, sailing the Seine aboard a private yacht with a dedicated skipper transforms sightseeing into a luxurious, tailor-made experience.
For an especially elegant journey, Dolce Vita Yacht offers one of the most memorable ways to experience the City of Light. And here’s a little insider tip: before booking payment, use the code OBONPARIS2025 to enjoy a 10% discount on your morning cruise, OBONPARISAFTER12 to enjoy 5% discount on afternoon tours, when booking on their website.
The Dolce Vita is a classic 15-meter Super Van Craft yacht, offering the perfect blend of elegance and comfort. With three inviting cabins and multiple spaces to relax, you’re free to move around and enjoy the cruise from different perspectives:
The Cabin – Spacious and bright, with wide windows that let in the beauty of Paris as you glide by.
The Bow – Arguably the best seat in the house, featuring luxurious sunbathing loungers and unbeatable views.
The Stern – Ideal for enjoying a glass of wine or a gourmet picnic. This space can be left open to bask in the sunshine or covered for shade and comfort.
Each cruise is staffed by a dedicated two-person crew: an experienced captain at the helm and a professional hostess on hand to ensure your every need is met.
A two-hour cruise is all you need to soak in the best of Paris from the Seine River. Glide past the city’s most iconic landmarks—Notre-Dame, the Conciergerie, the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, the Statue of Liberty, and the charming Îles de la Cité and Saint-Louis. All of it framed by the city’s elegant bridges, each one with its own story.
It's a picture-perfect route, offering unique photo opportunities along the Seine that you won’t find anywhere else. Unlike the large commercial riverboats, the yacht provides far more flexibility and access for capturing stunning, one-of-a-kind shots. And if you're in Paris for your honeymoon—or just looking to experience the city from a more intimate perspective—this is the kind of outing that stays with you.
Because the cruise is private, it’s entirely up to you how it unfolds. You can slow down near your favorite monument, request a specific route, or pause to toast under the Eiffel Tower. Morning, afternoon, golden hour, or after dark—each time of day brings a different mood to the river, and you get to choose the one that suits yours.
The Yacht Dolce Vita accommodates up to 12 guests, making it perfect for private bookings with family, friends, or small groups.
Boarding takes place at the quay right next to the Musée d’Orsay.
The reservation fee includes exclusive use of the yacht, along with a welcome glass of Champagne and a gourmet appetizer platter. You can book your experience directly on their website.
