Editor's take

The cruise option pairs 2 hours at the Louvre with a Seine cruise ticket you use independently afterwards. Up to 20 people follow an English-speaking guide, with the Mona Lisa and Great Sphinx of Tanis listed. Choose it if both the museum and a river trip are in your plans.

Allow extra time for the cruise, since the 2-hour museum visit does not include that part of your day. The Louvre-only option leaves out the river ticket. The operator advises against the tour if you have walking difficulties and requires at least 24 hours' notice for a full refund.
