Great boat cruise! The dinner was really good, and we especially liked dessert and the warm cookies with departure. Fabulous sunset views of the city. We spent a lot of time on the top deck where they had a guitarist who was really good.

Step aboard the Odyssey and experience one of the most exquisite things to do in Chicago: The Gourmet Dinner Cruise. No other evening will compare to floating along Lake Michigan on a luxury yacht, taking in the stunning sights of the Windy City.
With a chic look that's reminiscent of classic ocean liners, the stylish ambiance of the Odyssey is evident as soon as you step foot on the ship. Linen-draped tables, brilliant bar displays, and modern decor set the scene for an evening that won't be forgotten. Explore the boat's various decks or relax on the rooftop lounge as the boat leaves Navy Pier. Take in legendary Chicago attractions as you gracefully traverse the shoreline, admiring the city's spectacular skyscrapers like John Hancock Center and Willis Tower.
The Chicago Gourmet Dinner Cruise offers guests a first-class wining and dining experience that is sure to please every appetite on board. Menu selections are made with seasonal ingredients to ensure only the freshest cuisine is presented. Settle in with a unique tasting trio featuring options that may include (though subject to change) shrimp and watermelon, vegetable salad, or whipped goat cheese.
Then savor every last bite of a mouthwatering entree. Choose from delectable options like:
- Crab cakes
- Salmon filet
- Glazed chicken breast
- Beef short rib
- Greek zucchini fritters.
And with sorbet, parfaits, salted caramel cake, and Odyssey's signature warm butter cake on the menu, there's plenty of incentive to leave room for dessert.
All evening long, delight in the ship's onboard entertainment as you cruise from Navy Pier and back again. Light music will accompany your boarding and dining, and a cruise host will mingle with guests to help celebrate special occasions. Treat yourself to a favorite cocktail, beer or wine from one of the full-service cash bars, as you're stylishly serenaded. Or embrace the vibrant atmosphere that graces the ship's dance floors, as DJs spin top tunes to get guests enjoying some fancy footwork.
Make some waves and memories with family, friends or that special someone in your life. A remarkable evening full of class, fine cuisine, and brilliant city sights await on the Chicago Gourmet Dinner Cruise.
