Your luxury Spirit of Chicago Lunch Cruise promises a delightful and memorable experience. There is no hotel pick-up for the cruise, which starts from Navy Pier, where there is ample parking. Details of how to reach Navy Pier are given in Additional Information.
To receive your boarding pass please present your voucher and photo ID at the activity operator’s ticket kiosk at Navy Pier. Boarding begins at 11:30am, 1 hour prior to cruise departure time.
As you board the boat, a keepsake photo of you and your party will be taken, so go ahead and pose for the camera! (You can decide to purchase or not, when you dock.)
Once on board, friendly staff will greet and seat you, and take your drink orders (payable direct). Feel free to get up and explore the ship, especially the outdoor strolling decks.
As the ship pulls away from the dock, grab your streamers and your drinks and join the entertainers in a festive Bon Voyage toast.

You will also be treated to some live entertainment. Throughout the cruise, Spirit’s staff will dazzle you with impressive renditions of your favorite tunes. Sit back, relax and enjoy the talent.
Or hit the dance floor where the DJs know how to play music that you can’t resist. Expect everything from traditional sounds to up-to-the-minute hits.
