Seine Dinner Cruise; Ducasse Sur Seine - OR - Calife?

Probably a long shot to ask if someone has done both and can chime in which is a better value, but asking anyway. Discovered Calife reading this forum. The boat looks charming, the menus good and it's a little cheaper. Discovered Ducasse Sur Seine by watching a Frenchie YouTube video. It also looks wonderful but more expensive and I'm not entirely sure the Frenchie video was not a paid endorsement as they have a substantial following.

Has anyone done both, or either and can review?

Thank you!!

I have done both, my second Calife evening was two nights ago. The Calife and Ducasse sur Seine are different experiences. No question that Ducasse has a more interesting boat and an enhanced menu, which is why it costs about 100€ more than Calife. I have not yet tried the Don Juan II, which is a Michelin one star restaurant and a step above Ducasse sur Seine.

It really depends upon your budget. None of the above experiences disappoints.

Thank you very much Tocard for your input. I appreciate it. I will likely book Ducasse Sur Seine based on your input.
