Setting Sail from the Louvre
The cruise begins at the WeBoat dock near the Louvre, a prime spot right in the heart of Paris. The branded boat, easily identifiable with the Paris by Emily logo and crew sporting Emily-themed lanyards, sets the tone for a chic adventure. The initial excitement builds as you board, knowing you’re about to glide past some of the most photogenic sights in the city.
Spectacular Landmarks on the Seine
As the boat slowly moves along the Seine, the views unfold like scenes from a movie. You’ll pass the Louvre Museum, where the iconic glass pyramid glints in the sunlight. The guide, often praised for their engaging commentary (with one reviewer mentioning Stephanie by name), shares fun facts and stories about the landmarks, adding context to the beautiful scenery.
The Musée d’Orsay appears next, just a quick ten-minute pass with the chance to snap photos of its famous clock and façade. Then comes the Pont Alexandre III, a grand bridge decorated with gold sculptures and lamps, perfect for a photo op. The Grand Palais follows, with its glass façade and striking architecture. The Eiffel Tower looms large, and many reviews highlight how close and clear the views are—some say it feels like being right under the tower’s iron lattice.
Passing Pont Neuf, and then the Notre Dame Cathedral, completes the cultural tour. Reviewers mention how the guide’s commentary helps you appreciate the history and beauty of each site. One reviewer, Alice, appreciated her guide Stephanie’s engaging storytelling, which made the landmarks less abstract and more tangible.
The Emily in Paris Touch
This cruise shines with its themed touches. Each guest receives a custom Paris by Emily macaron—a delicious treat that adds a sweet element to the experience. The centerpiece, however, is the Polaroid photo that captures your moment with Paris as a backdrop. Guests are encouraged to take pictures and enjoy the fun playlist inspired by the show, creating a lively, upbeat atmosphere.
More Great Thing To Do NearbyChampagne and Snacks
The included glass of Champagne served in branded glasses elevates the experience. Reviewers consistently mention the quality of the Champagne and how special it feels to toast Paris from the water. While food and drinks aren’t allowed beyond the provided champagne and macarons, these treats are enough to make you feel pampered. The macarons, in particular, get high praise—one guest even said they felt like a “main character” savoring such a quintessential Parisian delicacy.
