About

Every cruise—whether a relaxing 2 ½‑hour voyage along the Canal Saint‑Martin, a spirited 3‑hour dining guinguette, or a late‑afternoon happy‑hour—carries a dedicated crew who share stories about the city’s hidden history, its moats, and the iconic landmarks that dot the Seine and its canals. Guests sail past the echoing arches of the Bastille tunnel, glide under the famed Pont des Arts, and enjoy a panoramic view of Notre‑Dame and the Musée d’Orsay while the boat offers live commentary in both French and English. Beyond the waterways, Paris Canal offers special packages for family groups, corporate events, and private celebrations—making it a versatile venue for lovers of culture, cuisine and convivial maritime charm. The fleet is maintained to a high standard, and the crew’s hospitality has earned glowing praise in numerous visitor testimonials.
