Lake michigan dinner cruises
It's interesting:"'It was two days before the wedding and I finally sat down to write my toast. Low and ... Everyone at the wedding said it was the best toast they had ever heard.' ..."
Taking a dinner cruise on Lake Michigan, which is bordered by the states of Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana and Michigan, allows you to take in the sights while floating on one of the five Great Lakes. Many dinner cruises board from Navy Pier in Chicago, and your evening will include beautiful views of one of the world's most recognizable skylines, featuring the Sears Tower and John Hancock Center. You can meet new people or throw a private party while cruising the waters of Lake Michigan.
Odyssey Cruises Chicago
Depart from Navy Pier and get ready for up to three hours of beautiful sights and attentive service. Voted 2008's Best Skyline in America by "Travel and Leisure" magazine, a dinner cruise on the Odyssey provides guests with a view of Chicago while cruising on Lake Michigan. After taking in the sights and getting situated for dinner, the professional wait staff will take your order for the three-course meal. Sample dishes from the dinner menu, effective April 1, 2010, include lobster bisque- a baked mixture of Atlantic sea scallops with shrimp, crab, spinach and cheese- roasted chicken with chipotle cream sauce- seafood cannelloni and a roasted vegetable napoleon. Top off your meal with something sweet, such as the Odyssey's signature dessert: chocolate truffle torte wrapped in dark chocolate ganache. Entertainment is provided by a live band, who switches from soft dinner music to livelier dance tunes after the meal.

Shoreline Charters
Shoreline Charters offers a few different vessels: the Celebration seats up to 70 dinner guests, and the Bright Star and Evening Star accommodate 225 and 250 guests, respectively. Private parties are the specialty of Shoreline Charters- in fact, it's all they do. Pick the type of evening you want--laid-back, classy or lavish--and the type of party or event you're throwing, from casual dinner to class reunion to wedding, and Shoreline will customize a party around your idea.
All boats offer a variety of dinner and bar packages for you to choose from. The Celebration works better for more intimate gatherings, and the larger Evening Star and Bright Star offer ample room for cascading buffets with enough space for guests to comfortably mingle at the bars. You can add on to your dinner and drink package with choices of entertainment and flowers, professional photographers and transportation to and from Chicago hotels from Shoreline's docks at Navy Pier.
