  • See the Chicago skyline from a unique vantage point and cruise by local landmarks including the spectacular Buckingham Fountain
  • Pass through the Chicago Harbor Lock and take an aquatic elevator to the open water of Lake Michigan, one of the five Great Lakes of North America
  • Learn more about the city's history with a fun and informative guide as you sail by the city that's shaped great artists and housed folkloric gangsters

Come sail away and see skyscrapers by starlight, get a great view of the Buckingham Fountain's light display, and listen in on some guided commentary to give your tour added depth.

Chicago's architectural scene is a feast for the eyes, with some of the USA's tallest towers all there to be ogled. The work of famous architects dots The Windy City's coast and the buildings have served as the backdrop of Gotham in Chris Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy.

Hold on to your free neon wand and wave to the city before you start your journey over Lake Michigan, learning about Chicago's history, from the great fire to the prohibition era, and modern film facts.
