Chicago 45-Minute Architecture River Cruise

The Chicago River Architecture Cruise is one of the most popular ways to see the city. For 45 minutes, you'll cruise through the heart of the Windy City as you learn how its skyline, the birthplace of skyscrapers and a world architectural landmark, was forged.

Your professional skipper guide will narrate the history of the landmark buildings and the visionary architects who designed them in an entertaining way, helping you understand why Chicago is considered an open-air museum of architecture.

As you cruise along, you'll enjoy prime vantage points for photographing bridges, towers and legendary facades. From the river, the perspective is unparalleled: the combination of history, design and innovation is experienced in a different way when touring the city by land.

The ship has an air-conditioned lounge, ensuring a comfortable experience at any time of the year. There is also a bar with drinks and snacks (not included) to make the experience even more enjoyable.

This cruise is an ideal introduction if you're visiting Chicago for the first time, or if you simply want to see the city from a different, relaxed and charming angle.
