View the legendary bright green of the Chicago River on St. Patrick’s Day while dancing, sipping cocktails and relaxing on three different levels as you take in the beauty of Chicago’s architecture.
Be sure to wear your most standout green fits to compete in the photo contests for the best St. Patrick’s Day ensemble. Cruises take place rain or shine and are for adults 21 years and up.
Choose from a morning, afternoon or night cruise with a full bar, dance floor and DJ-spinning party hits. The super early bird special of $30 sells out fast, so reserve tickets early.
