Question

What can I expect on the boat?

Answer

The Odyssey River Cruise in Chicago is a temperature controlled boat that will cruise along the Chicago River. Majority of the cruise is inside a glass, temperature controlled room with areas to step outside and take in the views of the city any time you'd like! Food and drinks will be available all throughout the night.

Question

What happens if I arrive late?

Answer

The boat leaves without you! Boarding is from 6:30-7pm and the boat will take off at 7pm sharp to cruise along the river. Please ensure you give yourself enough time to walk to the dock entrance from either your parking spot or wherever you plan to stay.

Question

How do I find the boarding location?

Answer

The Odyssey Chicago River cruise boards at the Chicago River Esplanade near the NBC Tower, specifically at 455 N Cityfront Plaza Drive, between Michigan Ave & Columbus Drive, where you'll find stairs leading down to the riverfront to find the distinctive glass-enclosed boat. We will do our best to ensure there is signage or someone from our party to help you find your way.

Question

Where do I park?

Answer

We recommend downloading/using an app like SpotHero to find affordable options close to the entrance of the boat. There is a garage two blocks from the entrance to the boat for $19 for 24 hours that we recommend. Please give yourself enough time to secure parking and walk to the boat before boarding. 240 E Illinois St Chicago, IL 60611
