For a unique, memorable venue: A cruise on Lake Michigan, the Chicago River or both, will be the event of the year.
With a fleet of six, Chicago’s First Lady Cruises cater to groups from 2 to 250, and is the perfect selection for weddings, birthday parties, corporate events, networking events—you name it: It’s better on a boat! We offer both outdoor and climate-controlled indoor seating, restrooms, a full-service bar and snacks. We even offer catering services.
For educational purposes, take an Architectural Cruise Chicago Il style, a photography cruise or even a yoga cruise. The Chicago Architectural Center has even partnered with Chicago’s First Lady Cruises to offer visitors what TripAdvisor has rated the #1 tour of the city, and what placed it in the TripAdvisor Hall of Fame.
The cruises operate mid-May until mid-October, offering a glimpse of three of the four gorgeous Chicago seasons. The Twilight River Cruise highlights the stunning architecture of the city with the ambiance of a romantic backdrop.
Planning a wedding? What could be more enchanting than reciting your vows while listening to the gentle lapping of the waves and delighting in the way the sun glistens on the sparkling water? The open-air top deck would be ideal for the ceremony, resplendent with a 360-degree view. Below, on the main deck, you will enjoy the climate-controlled enclosed deck. No worries about your reception because our excellent caterers could provide an elegant meal for your guests.
We are located along the beautiful Chicago Riverwalk. We want everyone to be able to enjoy our beautiful cruises–be it the Architectural Cruise Chicago Il style, a corporate or networking event, wedding or sightseeing cruise. We are wheelchair accessible and do have wheelchair accessible restrooms.
