A Wonderful Time to Show Off Chicago
What better way to host a unique gathering for family, friends or business colleagues than on a private Shoreline Breakfast, Brunch or Lunch cruise? Chicago’s skyline sparkles as the light reflects from the city’s famous buildings while you cruise Lake Michigan or the historic Chicago River.
Select from our exclusive caterer Phil Stefani Signature Events’ outstanding menus, specially created for daytime events. Choose a continental breakfast buffet featuring fresh fruits and pastries or a lavish hot and cold brunch buffet with chef-attended omelet station. For lunch, selections can be as simple as freshly prepared box lunches to a formal, sit down luncheon with a selection of hot or cold dishes.
As always, you’ll enjoy a spectacular setting and the services of Shoreline’s event-planning staff and helpful, courteous crew. Shoreline can also assist with music, flowers, photography and transportation for your guests.

Breakfast,
Brunch & Luncheon
Daytime cruises are ideal for company events, birthday or anniversary celebrations, pre-and-post wedding celebrations or as part of a family or alumni reunion.
For up to 70 Guests
For the smaller daytime event, we suggest the four-season Celebration. Featuring an elegant, climate-controlled main deck plus an open bow and upper deck, Celebration has ample room for bar set ups and seating arrangements for either buffet or plated meal service complete with china and glassware. Space is also available for live music such as a classical string quartet or a jazz trio.
For 50 to 250 Guests
For larger daytime events, we suggest one of our “Star” vessels: Evening Star or Bright Star. They are spacious, open air boats with two decks and flexible space for seated or more casual buffet service as well as for live music or entertainment. Your guests will have ample room to mingle and dine as they enjoy a spectacular view of Chicago’s superb skyline and landmarks. Shoreline can arrange for a professional docent to lead one of our famous Architecture Tours as part of your cruise.
