What a champagne boat tour in Paris actually is
It is a cruise on the Seine with champagne poured on board. It is not a trip to Champagne:
the vineyards lie about 150 km north-east of Paris. You see no cellar and meet no producer, and
you are back where you started in 75 to 90 minutes.
You have two shapes to choose from. The private boat is yours alone, priced per boat, with a
bottle of French champagne. The Ô Chateau cruise is shared, priced per person, and a sommelier
pours three grower champagnes as you go.
Why choose a champagne boat tour
It fits an evening
The sommelier's cruise meets at 6 pm and lasts about 75 minutes, so you can still have
dinner after it. No early start, no minivan, and no four hours on the road.
You see Paris from the water
The private boat passes the Statue of Liberty replica, the Eiffel Tower, the Pont Alexandre
III, the Louvre, the Pont Neuf and Notre-Dame. The shared cruise takes in the Eiffel Tower,
the Musée d'Orsay, the Louvre and the Grand Palais.
A tasting with a sommelier
Ô Chateau pours a Brut, a Rosé and a Blanc de Blancs, all from growers. You can add a
bottle of Premier Cru to take away, one per booking.
The lowest fare, by a distance
The shared cruise costs $92 per person. The cheapest day in Champagne costs
$152 from Reims, before your train.

If you have one evening, take the cruise. If you have a whole day and want the chalk
cellars, take a day tour. You can do both, on different days of the same trip.
What you get, and what you don't
- Ô Chateau: three tastings with a sommelier, live commentary and priority
access. Not included: food, other drinks, tips and hotel pickup.
- The private boat: the boat for your party, a bottle of French champagne,
bottled water, fees and taxes.
- The weight rule: the standard private boat takes four people with a
combined weight of up to 280 kg. Five or more need the larger boat.
- On neither: a cellar, a producer or a vineyard.
Three grower champagnes with a sommelier, from 6 pm

Planning a champagne boat tour
- Find the right pontoon: Ô Chateau meets at the Vedettes de Paris pontoon,
2 Port de Suffren, below the Pont d'Iéna, from 6:00 to 6:25 pm. The private boat boards at
Escales Beaugrenelle, 2 Port de Javel Haut, opposite the Statue of Liberty replica.
- Split the boat: $467 for up to four is about $116 each for
four, or $233 each for two.
- Eat before or after: neither cruise serves a meal.
- Cancellation: free up to 24 hours ahead on both.
- Pair it with a day out: the cruise suits the evening before or after a
day in Champagne.
