What if your birthday gift this year was a free cruise on the Seine? For its 50th anniversary, Vedettes de Paris has decided to celebrate with those who share the same birthday!
The Paris-based company, based at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, is indeed celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2026. To mark the occasion, it’s offering a free guided cruise to anyone born in 1976, who are also turning 50 this year.
A perfect excuse to get away and rediscover Paris from the Seine! On the cruise, guests can take in the capital’s iconic landmarks from a fresh angle: Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Notre-Dame, Orsay Museum… All from one of Paris’s most stunning viewpoints: the Seine.
There’s no need to wait for your birthday to enjoy this Parisian deal. If you were born in 1976, you can claim a complimentary cruise on a date of your choice during 2026, subject to opening days and availability.
And good news: you don't have to spend hours hunting for a promo code or booking online. Just show up at the Vedettes de Paris ticket office with your ID.
Your year of birth has been verified, and you're all set for a stroll along the Seine!
This invitation gives you the chance to enjoy the Guided Cruise “A New Look at Paris”, a daytime excursion to discover the great Parisian monuments.
Whether you’re a lifelong Parisian or just passing through the capital, it’s the perfect moment to rise a little—or, more aptly, to set sail! Comfortably settled aboard, you’ll enjoy Paris along the river, with its monuments gliding by the quays.
And for once, your birthday gift won’t end up gathering dust at the back of a closet!
The idea is simple: head to the Vedettes de Paris ticket office during 2026, with your ID.
The offer is reserved for people born in 1976 and includes a complimentary departure on the Guided Cruise “A New Look at Paris.”
So, if you're part of Team 1976, all that's left is to pick a day to enjoy this rather original birthday gift!
Fifty years deserve a celebration. And with Vedettes de Paris, that celebration takes place on the Seine!
