The Experience
Cruise the river at a soothing (no wake) pace/speed enjoy exciting views of Chicago's bustling "River Walk"....

Time permitting, upon exiting the river, we'll cruise into Monroe Harbor in front of the Buckingham Fountain, head south towards the planetarium then back to the Harbor.

River Cruise can be very timely and unpredictable due to the process of accessing and exiting the Chicago River Locking System.
Note:
Entering the river may not be advisable on the day of your cruise. Thus, It is at the Captain's discretion to abort a river cruise due to time constraints, boat traffic, safety reasons, etc.
In this case, your Cruise Experience will continue along the beautiful shores of Lake Michigan.
​
Thus, upon booking this experience, you acknowledge your acceptance and understanding of such and agree the cruising experience will continue on Lake Michigan.
​
No refunds for redirected River Cruise Experiences.
