A pocket-friendly Paris combo that saves you money. Pair a timed Louvre visit with a Seine cruise and enjoy two icons for less than booking separately.
Getting started
Head to the Louvre Museum at your reserved time slot and present your booking confirmation at the entrance. Clear the mandatory security check, then walk straight in. Prefer to start on the water? Reach the boarding point near the Eiffel Tower, validate your ticket before boarding, connect to onboard Wi-Fi, and settle in for a smooth sail.
