シカゴのミシガン湖スカイラインクルーズ

Very nice cruise. Not too long. Beautiful views and friendly staff. Dress warm as it gets chilly out there.

Info is great but pre-recorded. The route took us out along the breakwater and also ran closer to shore. Captain Bob was open to some questions, once we were docked. Ask him about the lock between the Chicago River and Lake Michigan…critical infrastructure that seems largely unnoticed…

Very good tour nice and easy great views

This ride does not go out into Lake Michigan; it goes up to the barrier between the port and the rest of the lake. However, it was still a very fun ride. The boat staff are very courteous and professional, and services include drinks and snacks available for purchase. This tour is exactly as the title advertises, for you get to ride out on the lake’s waters while presented with numerous, impressive views of Chicago’s city, especially at sunset where the bright yellow and orange glare shines across and between the building gaps of the city— as if you see a vast silhouette of a city in said glow. Most of the boat ride is smooth, albeit there are a few fun bumps and easy dips. Along with the ride and panorama you get a historical and geographical narration of Lake Michigan and its ties to Chicago. It is a presentation that enriches the experience altogether. Very much worth the price and time!

What a beautiful evening we had,the sunset was gorgeou! . Staff was very courteous. We didn’t purchase any drinks because we hadjust finished dinner earlier. But there was a bar. Theseating was comfortable. The narration was easy to understand and finding the location was super easy at the Navy Pier. I would highly recommend ending your Chicago trip with a sunset cruise.

Very nice. Met expectations. Friendly staff! Interesting information given. Thank you! The only thing I’d have liked is that the cruise departed on time.

We took advantage of the discount from also booking an architecture tour. We took the free water taxi from the city out to Navy Pier. It wasn’t very clear where to go once we got off, and even after asking an employee where to go for the tour departures, it wasn’t clear. We did ask a second employee and got much better instructions. We likely would have missed the tour if we listened to the first person. The tour of the lake was relaxing and beautiful, and it was nice to see the city from the lake. On the boat, one of the employees was talking to another employee about a group of people that had recently asked them to take them back to another dock after a tour was done at the end of the night. That employee repeatedly referred to that groups ethnicity, repeated staying “It’s always the Indians”. These conversations, and blatant racism, should not be held in front of paying customers. Especially as at least one of the patrons overhearing it (my partner) happens to be Indian! And he was not the only Indian on the boat. I would have rated considerably higher if not for this incident.

Turns out I was the only passenger on this nice big ferry boat. However, the four crew members were very nice and friendly, so I enjoyed the trip anyway.

Fantastic to see the city change from day to night and the lights come on coupled with the sunset, really enjoyed the 45 minutes

It was nice. Not as many people on the boat during my tour. The staff was pleasant and knowledgeable
