The Architecture Cruise is an exciting tour of the Chicago River and its architectural landmarks. You’ll travel down the main branch of the Chicago River, up the north branch to the East Bank Club, and then south past the Willis Tower to the old Post Office Building.
Cruises are led by professional guides who share the dramatic story of Chicago's rise from the ashes of the Great Fire of 1871 to become the home of the skyscraper and the cradle of modern American architecture.
Chicago is one of the most architecturally diverse cities in America. Longtime home of Frank Lloyd Wright and host to iconic buildings by Mies van der Rohe, Skidmore Owings Merrill, and Helmut Jahn, the urban Chicago landscape is a living record of twentieth century architectural movements. This cruise provides the perfect vantage point from which to to marvel at these iconic structures. It’s also a great photo opportunity!
