Tips & Advice

  • Book ahead for the Christmas Day lunch, because places are limited and the cruise can fill up before the day.
  • Arrive 30 minutes before departure, as guests are asked to, so boarding at Port de la Conférence goes smoothly.
  • Take the metro to Alma-Marceau, the station closest to the boarding point at the foot of the Pont de l'Alma.
  • If you're driving, use the La Tour Maubourg Orsay car park on Quai d'Orsay, which is across the river from the boarding point.
  • Groups of more than 10 should send a request through the group form instead of booking individual seats.
