To enjoy the Chicago Odyssey Dinner Cruise in the best possible manner, arrive well before the departure time and dress in your most festive attire. You get to enjoy the electric atmosphere of Navy Pier, alive with entertainers and remarkable views. These Chicago dinner cruises on Lake Michigan are operated by top dinner cruise lines including Spirit of Chicago Dinner Cruise and Odyssey dinner cruise Chicago.

As soon as you step aboard, the Captain and crew will greet you and the ship’s photographer will record the moment. When you reach the deck, you are greeted by your host and escorted to a private table. Now the waiting staff will introduce themselves and the experience begins.

There are three climate-controlled dining decks featuring a unique setting with understated Art Deco accents, which is reminiscent of the classic ocean liners. One of the highlights is visiting Captain’s bridge, which is open to all passengers throughout most of the cruise.

The menu is truly creative and appetizing consisting of seasonal hors d’oeuvres, appetizers, entrees and desserts and is freshly prepared on-board daily. The wine list is absolutely impressive and the entire experience is enhanced further by the presence of soft piano music and spacious dance floors with live music provided by a five-piece band.

The entertainment continues until well after the ship returns to the pier. This dinner cruise is perfect to enjoy an unforgettable evening of great food and great music.

Chicago Fireworks Dinner Cruise

During summer season, you can even choose to upgrade your Chicago Dinner Cruise to include a spectacular fireworks display on Wednesdays and Saturdays. You get the opportunity to witness the spectacular show from the decks of the ship as the gorgeous sky is all lit up at night.
