A trip to Chicago wouldn’t be complete without cruising along the Chicago River at night. Chicago night boat tours are an entirely different experience than floating down the river during the day. Here are three reasons why tourists, and even locals, book nighttime cruises.
The Ambience Is Unbeatable
Cruising under the city lights is like something out of a movie. People celebrating a momentous occasion like an anniversary, a honeymoon, an engagement party, promo, or any other special event find the night is made more special floating on the river surrounded by the city lights. Boat tours are great for surprise proposals too!
There Are Plenty of Bar and Snack Options
Want to feel like a celebrity? Don’t forget to check out the bar and snack options. Sure, these amenities are available on daytime cruises too, but they’re slightly elevated during nighttime cruises. It’s the whole ambiance thing again.
The Live Commentary Is Fun and Educational
All nighttime boat tours include live commentary from highly knowledgeable tour guides. Learn more about the city and its architecture. Once just might come away from the tour with some newfound knowledge that can be used to impress friends at a trivia night.
How to Book a Night Boat Tour
Booking a night boat tour isn’t hard and it isn’t expensive. Ticket prices are reasonable, starting at $19 for children and $42 for adults. Children under five are free. Book ahead to ensure a seat because tours do sell out. For more information about Chicago night boat tours, go to Mercury, Chicago’s Skyline Cruiseline online.
