Q: Where is the boarding location for the fireworks cruise?

Most cruises depart from Navy Pier or various riverfront docks. Check your specific booking confirmation for the exact pier number.

Q: What happens if the cruise is canceled due to bad weather?

If canceled due to weather, you will typically receive a full refund or the option to reschedule for a future date.

Q: Is there a dress code for the evening cruise?

Casual attire is fine, but we recommend bringing a light jacket or sweater as it can get windy and chilly on the water at night.

It depends on your package. Some cruises are observation-only, while others offer buffet dinners or cash bar services.

Q: How early should I arrive at the dock for boarding?

We recommend arriving at least 30 minutes before the scheduled departure time to allow for security checks and boarding.

Most modern cruise vessels are ADA compliant, but please notify the operator in advance to ensure specific accessibility needs are met.
