Chicago River & Lake Michigan Night Cruise
Chicago Night Cruise
We'll meet at the pier located at 112 E Wacker Drive to begin a comprehensive night cruise along the Chicago River and Lake Michigan. Are you ready to admire the skyline of the Windy City illuminated at night? Let’s go!
Once on board, we'll set sail along the Chicago River, passing iconic skyscrapers—historic buildings that take on a special, unique beauty after sunset. The vibrant colors of their lights transform the scene, creating a sight you're sure to fall in love with. As we relax on the open-air upper deck, our onboard guide will share fascinating stories and details about the construction of these landmarks.
The cruise continues through the Chicago Lock, an engineering marvel that connects the Chicago River to Lake Michigan. From there, we'll head out into the open water to see the Chicago skyline from a truly unique perspective. You won’t be able to stop taking photos!
Throughout the night cruise, you'll see some of Chicago’s most prominent landmarks, including the Navy Pier, the John Hancock Center, Buckingham Fountain, the Wrigley Building, and Marina City.
Finally, we'll return to the original starting pier, concluding the activity 1.5 hours after we set off.
