Heart of Chicago's architectural marvels
As you step off the Magnificent Mile and onto the dock, your architectural journey on the Chicago River begins. Set sail on a 75-minute guided tour, offering unparalleled views of more than 40 of the city's iconic landmarks from a vantage point like no other. As you traverse all three branches of the river, your expert guide will regale you with the tales of Chicago's architectural wonders — from the Tribune Tower, housing fragments from world-famous structures like the Great Wall of China, to the Wrigley Building, which was the city's first office building to be air-conditioned.
Sailing through history
Soak in the skyline view, and watch as the city's history unfolds before your eyes. As you glide by Willis Tower (formerly Sears Tower), learn about its history as the world's tallest building. Pass by the East Bank Club, the old Post Office Building, and the fascinating Marina City, known for its corn-cob design and its cinematic history. The cruise culminates with a return to the dock, leaving you with a greater appreciation of why the Windy City is a beacon of modern architecture.
