Gastronomic cruise on an electric boat with fine dining
"On Ducasse sur Seine, the sole electric boat cruising the Seine under Alain Ducasse’s name with chef Jean Philippe Berens onboard, I enjoyed a six‑course Christmas Eve tasting prepared fresh on the boat—highlights included oysters with ginger and lemongrass, chilled langoustine with caviar and a cheese course featuring 18‑month matured truffled Comté." - Lane Nieset
"Most dinner cruises get away with meh food thanks to front-row views. But if you must eat on a boat in Paris, make it this one. The fancy two-hour voyage begins and ends across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower, during which you’ll dine on approachable fine dining menus ideal for tourists who like the idea of fancy tuiles and flowers but don’t want to have to Google every ingredient. You can choose from a three- or four-course set lunch (starts at €115 per person) or a four- or five-course dinner, and pay when you book. Once onboard, you’ll sit at a white-linen-topped table on a chair cushion emblazoned with a greyscale city map underneath the ceiling’s silver wave motif with views from every seat. There are tweezer-applied flourishes and familiar flavors. Roast Guinea fowl with mustard jus has all the comfort of roast chicken in gravy, and soft-boiled egg with comté emulsion has major egg florentine vibes. The wine is ludicrously expensive, but it’ll be hard to say no to a glass of Champagne. After all, you’re dining on the Seine." - emily monaco

"Well, no one can say that Alain Ducasse lacks for boldness or ideas, as the Ducasse sur Seine once again proves. An electric boat, moored on the quayside of Port Debilly in the swanky 16th arrondissement, offers a gastronomic cruise that is both ecological and silent. At the same time as you discover Parisian monuments, you will taste up - to - the - minute cuisine, masterfully crafted by a kitchen team worthy of the best restaurants. Well done, mon capitaine!" - Michelin Inspector
