What Paris Seine does

Paris Seine (PARIS SEINE, SAS, RCS Paris n° 400 665 469) is a privately held French experiential hospitality company that operates a fleet of approximately 10 boats on the Seine River in Paris, offering restaurant cruises and private boat rentals. The company runs two primary service lines: Croisières Restaurant (individual and group lunch and dinner cruises priced €69–€175 per person) and Croisières Privatives (full-boat privatization for corporate seminars, weddings, birthdays, and themed events including Bastille Day, Christmas, and New Year's Eve, with private event packages starting at €99 per person and reaching €390 per person for premium New Year's Eve cruises). Fleet capacity spans intimate 10-passenger electric boats (Mini-croisières with Moët & Chandon champagne) up to large 230-guest vessels and the 350-guest Noti Club quayside venue at the foot of the Eiffel Tower.

The business operates from three prestigious Paris embarkation points—Port Debilly near Trocadéro, Port de Bercy, and Port de Suffren—and runs on a fleet-management and event-coordination platform with no disclosed proprietary AI/ML technology. Catering is provided through an exclusive partnership with Butard Enescot, and a cross-brand affiliation with the heritage Maxim's sur Seine brand supports a premium gastronomic cruise tier. The company is privately held under the Paris Experiences Group conglomerate umbrella, has 29 employees, and does not disclose financials; it sells directly to consumers via a multilingual website (French, English, Spanish), phone reservations, and a dedicated corporate sales team for enterprise and private events. Customer segments are diversified across tourism/leisure (primary), corporate and business events (primary), and private celebrations such as weddings and birthdays (primary), with a secondary segment in film, fashion, and production rentals.
