    Overview
    Celebrate a night out in Chicago with dinner, dancing and sightseeing aboard a three-hour luxury cruise on Lake Michigan. Glimpse top Chicago attractions like Navy Pier, Soldier Field and more while you dine on a lavish, all-you-can-eat buffet! See spectacular views of the Chicago skyline and a live DJ spinning your favorite songs.
    Highlights
    • Catch the sunset along the shores of Lake Michigan on this Chicago cruise
    • An all-you-can-eat buffet allows you to choose the food you like best
    • A live onboard DJ keeps things exciting, as do interactive games
    • Choose from multiple cruise times to fit a busy schedule 
    • Upgrade to a fireworks cruise during the summer months
    What to Expect
    Pick up your tickets at the Navy Pier dockside kiosk up to one hour prior to your cruise. Be ready to board about a half-hour before your tour time. Once you board and the ship sets sail, relax and catch sight of the sunset as you sip on a drink (own expense). Then sit down to enjoy dinner from a buffet with salads, entrees, desserts, and a carving station (see menu below in Itinerary). The buffet is all-you-can-eat so you won’t go hungry. Next, hit the dance floor where a DJ plays popular party songs, or join in an interactive game. Dance the night away, or head back outside for more illuminated city views. If you’ve upgraded to the summer fireworks package, watch a fireworks show over the water. Your cruise ends back at Chicago’s Navy Pier.

    We dressed semi formal, but there were people there dressed some casual some comfortable. I guess it really depends on the occasion for you.
