Relax with other attendees while taking in the sights of Chicago. During this 90-minute cruise, attendees will enjoy an expert-narrated cruise while learning about the events and landmarks that have made Chicago the city it is today. This comprehensive tour will navigate through the heart of the city on all three branches of the Chicago River while your professionally trained architectural guide tells the story of more than 130 years of innovation in design, style, and technique and why it is important today. Participants will meet in the hotel lobby at 4:30 p.m. and walk two blocks to the boat dock to arrive approximately 15 minutes before the tour, as requested by the tour operator.

The cost of this activity will include the architecture cruise. Restrooms are available on board as well as a full bar where alcoholic beverages and additional snacks can be purchased. Space is limited, so be sure to add this activity to your registration today. Please note: Tours depart rain or shine. However, in cases of severe weather, if the captain deems it unsafe and cancels the tour, all guests will be refunded the cost of the boat tour ticket.
