Chicago Night Cruise: Dark Stories & Ghosts

If you want to experience Halloween in Chicago to the fullest, welcome aboard this night cruise! We'll meet at the dock located at 112 E Wacker Drive to kick off an unforgettable boat ride designed especially for Halloween, featuring the city's most turbulent tales.

We'll sail along the Chicago River beneath the watchful gaze of the city's illuminated skyscrapers. As we explore the river, the city's dark past will leave us spellbound; we’ll hear countless stories where gangsters and mobsters like Al Capone take center stage. Did you know that organized crime defined Chicago in the 1920s?

Sailing by moonlight and enjoying unbeatable views of the Chicago skyline, we'll hear about the tragedies that have unfolded on these waters, such as the tragic sinking of the SS Eastland in 1915. What exactly happened? We’re about to find out...

This Halloween cruise also makes room for unsolved mysteries. Urban legends, paranormal sightings on Chicago’s iconic bridges, and shadowy figures lurking between the buildings along the riverbank will provide the perfect finishing touch to this nighttime boat tour.

Finally, with goosebumps and hearts pounding, we'll return to our starting point, concluding the activity 1.5 hours later. Will you be able to make it back to your hotel without looking over your shoulder? This experience is only for the bravest souls!
