This architecture and history cruise puts guests aboard a genuine piece of Chicago history, sailing through Lake Michigan and the Chicago River. The vessel once served as a working fireboat for the Chicago Fire Department, and it now doubles as a floating museum, complete with photographs and artifacts from its firefighting days. A docent narrates the ride, pointing out the skyscrapers and landmarks that made Chicago a global capital of architecture, and tracing how the river itself went from gritty industrial shoreline to the lively riverwalk seen today.
Departing from DuSable Harbor, the cruise runs 90 to 150 minutes depending on the Chicago locks schedule, with light snacks and both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks available for purchase onboard. It is a laid back way to see Chicago from a totally different angle, whether for a first visit or a lifelong local.
