General Description

About the Louvre Museum and the cruise ship

The Louvre Museum, located in the historic center of Paris, opened its doors as a public museum in 1793 after having been a medieval fortress and residence of the French monarchy for centuries. Today it is the most visited art museum in the world and houses more than 35,000 works ranging from antiquity to the 19th century. This experience combines a visit to the Louvre with a tour of the Seine River, offering a complete cultural perspective of the French capital.

After the visit to the museum, the tour continues with a cruise on the Seine, from where you can admire emblematic monuments such as the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Cathedral and the Musée d’Orsay, enjoying a unique panoramic view of the city.
