[Update: Cruise is sold out! Row row row your boat gently down the Seine...]

Bienvenue à bord !

Join us Thursday 15 April for a 2½-hour evening cruise on the river Seine while taking in splendid views of some of Paris' most famous monuments, including the beautifully illuminated Eiffel Tower, Orsay Museum, Louvre, Notre Dame Cathedral, and the Pont Neuf. At the same time, you'll enjoy a delicious buffet meal with wine and champagne while rubbing elbows with the elite of content strategy.

Eighty tickets are available for this special event at €70 each, not included in normal conference rates. Don't delay, tickets are expected to go fast.

The evening's itinerary

There will be two departures for our party. The first for dinner and wine in the waining daylight, and the second for champagne while the monuments are lit up. Keep in mind it will be warm inside the boat and chilly on deck after dark, so dress in comfortable layers accordingly.

First leg

Priority boarding begins at 7.30pm from the Pont Saint Michel landing stage (Quai des Orfèvres) on Ile de la Cité, close to Notre Dame Cathedral. The boat is called Paris en Scène. Cruise departs at 20:00 (8:00pm) sharp! An area for our group is reserved at the bow (front) of the boat with a panoramic view.

Aperitif with a selection of salted crisps, peanuts, olives, kir crémant (sparkling wine with black current liqueur) or a cocktail with or without alcohol. Main course will be served from the buffet, including a selection of desserts, two glasses of wine and/or mineral water, and coffee.

The boat will return to the landing stage at 21:00 (9:00pm). Those who wish to get an early night can disembark. Otherwise, we stay on board for another circuit down the river and back.

Second leg

The second departure is at 21:30 (9:30pm). We remain in the same reserved area at the front of the boat. Champagne will be served until allotted bottles are gone. If you are interested, sight-seeing commentary will be available during the cruise in four languages (French, English, Spanish, and Italian) via individual headsets. We'll return to the landing stage at 22:30 (10:30pm).
