Architecture Cruises
Architecture Cruises headline Experience one of the world’s most beautiful cities on a Shoreline Sightseeing Architecture Cruise on the Chicago River. This exciting journey takes you down all three branches of the historic Chicago River, as our experienced and entertaining guides tell the dramatic story of Chicago’s rise from the Great Fire of 1871 to become the home of the skyscraper and the cradle of modern American Architecture. Along the route are dozens of landmark buildings by world-famous architects, including Mies van der Rohe, Helmut Jahn and Jeanne Gang. On most Wednesday and Saturday nights in the summer, Shoreline also offers dramatic Architecture/Fireworks Cruises, ending with a front row seat for Navy Pier’s famous fireworks displays. Our Night Architecture Cruises are a popular option to see Chicago’s skyscrapers gleaming against the night sky.

Shoreline Sightseeing Architecture Cruises on the Chicago River depart from Gateway Park at Navy Pier (southwest corner). Please call 312-222-9328 or contact us by email if you have any questions. We want your cruise to be a wonderful experience.
