Afterwards, strap on some dancing shoes and move your feet to the beats of the ship's DJ, who will pick up the song-spinning pace and set the scene for a lively dance party on Lake Michigan!
The Chicago Gourmet Lunch Cruise is an ideal way to celebrate a special occasion, add some dazzle to an afternoon date, or do Chicago sightseeing differently. So whether you're visiting the Windy City or call it home, give your day a unique boost aboard this distinguished boat!
