Reisroute
Waag je door de Chicago Lock en Lake Michigan op voor een onbelemmerd 360-uitzicht op het spectaculaire vuurwerk van Navy Pier. Houd er rekening mee dat de vaartijd ongeveer 2,5 uur is, maar iets langer kan zijn vanwege drukte bij de sluis.
Opgedragen in 1989 ter viering van het 100-jarig jubileum van het Metropolitan Water Reclamation District van Greater Chicago, bekend door het omkeren van de stroom van de Chicago River in 1900. Gedurende de eerste vijf minuten van elk uur schiet de fontein een waterboog over de rivier vanuit een trapsgewijze waterval.
Het grootste commerciële gebouw ter wereld.
Michigan Avenue is de thuisbasis van de Chicago Water Tower, het Art Institute of Chicago, Millennium Park en de winkels aan de Magnificent Mile.
Dit witte terracotta-monument werd in 1922 gebouwd als hoofdkwartier voor het kauwgombedrijf Wrigley.
Op een na grootste operazaal in Noord-Amerika, met een art deco-interieur

It was difficult to find the exact loading location. The operater of this cruise needs to provide clearer more concise instructions. Pictures of the blue tent where you check in and the location would be helpful. Also, inform people considering purchasing the cruise that they will be required to walk down (and back up) a considerable amount of stairs and stand for extended periods of time.
Not worth the money. Most of the tour was sitting and floating in 1 spot. They should consider making the tour a little longer while waiting for the fireworks to start. Well over half the tour was sitting in 1 spot waiting for fireworks, then after waiting for the locks to open. People were literally falling asleep. Or maybe consider at least some up beat music while floating in the same spot.
Sorry your experience was impacted by lock delays and heavy river traffic. While these conditions are outside our control, we understand the frustration of extended waiting periods. We appreciate your suggestions regarding onboard entertainment during delays and will share them with our team.
Great way to see the Chicago skyline at night. Cruise around Lake Michigan for an hour and a half and then take in the fireworks. Crew did a great job.
Overall a fun cruise - the only issue was the boat started heading in before the fireworks even finished. I get they wanted to get into the locks but we still sat there for a bit anyway. There was a bit of an architectural tour after which was presented quite well and with good humor by the tour guide - she was very entertaining. I don't recall her name but we did the 8:00 cruise on Wed. August 5.
This is for tourists and locals! This excursion gave me a much higher experience than I expected it would. The ship was clean, the crew was courteous and friendly. There were some lovely groups and couples that were near us that we got to converse with and help each other take pictures. It was such a positive, relaxing, fun activity to make memories on!
The architecture tour with a sunset and firework finale was incredible and unforgettable. I highly recommend this to anyone visiting Chicago for the first time. It was a lovely experience. The line gets long, best tip is to get there early and have your tickets ready. Seating is first come first serve, choose your seats while you’re in line, then make your way to them as you board in. You can bring your own snacks and drinks. It was difficult to hear and understand the tour guide over people’s chatter which is unfortunate for us who are interested in listening. If that matters to you, sit as close as possible to the speaker. The fireworks were a good time and were done in a reasonable length of time. The length of this whole event, was nice, not too short, and not extremely long but longer than expected so we had to push dinner reservations. We had to try and run off the boat as soon we could before the exit got congested with people un boarding. It may be a better idea to eat dinner before this event or go somewhere without a reservation afterwards.
Absolutely amazing fireworks show! Best ones we have ever seen, and even more beautiful seeing it on the water and the chicago skyline at night!
Excellent vibes, amazing views! Lifetime experience seeing the fireworks from that close! Thanks for bringing Chicago closer to my heart!
Beautiful evening filled with great sites and incredible fireworks. Highly recommend.
Please note that you are not guaranteed to get to the lake in time to see the fireworks. There were too many boats trying to get out of the river and the lock only lets so many boats out at a time. We spent no time on the lake and watched the fireworks from the lock.
