I enjoyed going so far out into Lake Michigan for all the pictures I could handle of the Chicago coastline! It was absolutely beautiful! Did I mention this was the Night Cruise? It was beyond exquisite! It was so great, in fact, I had to video call my family and show them THIS part of my journey! They were so excited and impressed! Also, our guide Doug was awesome! The info and history he had about the various buildings and locations gave me the truest sense of a tour that kept me interested and wanting to come back for more! Thank you for bringing him on-board with us! Even with his mandated quota of bad jokes!

My husband and I loved our time on the night cruise! The views of the skyline were amazing and the tour guide was really enjoyable! The ride was also really comfortable, the drinks from the bar were great, and the bathrooms were clean! I highly recommend!

Everything, thats was the best highlight of the whole trip with picture perfect sunset and the whole skyline was really lit and amazing. I would do this everytime i am in Chicago a 100% 😊 Just one feedback: Please update the address pin you have , it took us to the otherside and we could have missed the cruise. The pin takes you to the chcling boat location not the actual first lady spot.

Very nice relaxing cruise experience on the lake and river. Shoutout to Cole for the amazing tour. He was extremely knowledgeable about the city and it's history and was very charismatic.

The best thing about the cruise was how much information the staff knew. He was so thorough. The cruise at night was amazing and the drinks were great. Would definitely do it again cause I think I would learn even more.

Cruise through the Chicago River and Lake Michigan at night on a 90-minute guided journey featuring illuminated skyline views, live commentary, and guaranteed outdoor seating.

See Chicago’s city lights from both open-air upper decks and enclosed climate-controlled lower decks, with cruises operating comfortably in all weather conditions.

Listen to engaging stories from your guide while sailing through the Chicago Harbor Lock, where the boat rises into Lake Michigan before returning to the river.

Relax with onboard amenities including restrooms, free stroller storage, a full-service bar, snack options, and early boarding support for guests with limited mobility, while children under 4 ride free with a ticket.

Upgrade to Priority Boarding for early access and the best choice of seats before general boarding begins, whether you prefer open-air or enclosed viewing areas.
