Chicago is known for historic sights, exceptional dining, arts, culture, and incredible nightlife. The buzz of the Windy City is one-of-a-kind, which is why it’s the ideal location for weddings and wedding-related events. When you host a Chicago wedding, couples find the experience unforgettable, so naturally, hosting other events in the city follows suit. For grooms, hosting a bachelor party in Chicago is a no-brainer — especially when they opt for a yacht venue. A bachelor party on the water elevates this pre-wedding celebration by providing a spectacular backdrop for a fun-filled evening. But when you choose City Cruises, the amenities and features offered set the stage for a memorable experience for the groom and his groomsmen. We detail it all below.
What Makes Chicago a Top Choice for Your Bachelor Party
Situated on majestic Lake Michigan and the Chicago River, Chicago’s skyline features iconic architecture ranging from the Willis Tower and Adler Planetarium to the John Hancock Building, Navy Pier, Civic Opera, and Ping Tom Park — all of which can be seen up-close with 360-degree panoramic views from a City Cruise vessel. The city’s chic and vibrant atmosphere is based around the water, so taking advantage of the surroundings is the best way to celebrate pre-wedding events, including your bachelor party.
