Cruise Port Transfers in Chicago, priced up front

Chicago is a freshwater city with no deep-sea cruise terminal. Its boats are the architectural river cruises and lake sightseeing and dinner cruises that leave from Navy Pier and the Chicago River landings. Ocean cruises start elsewhere. We handle transfers to the piers and, for ocean sailings, to the airport or a distant port.

Airport arrivals desk

Meeting you at every Chicago airport

  • O'Hare (ORD)
  • Midway (MDW)

O'Hare and Midway sit on opposite sides of the city and the Kennedy Expressway express lanes reverse direction by time of day, which we plan around.

Airport transfers in Chicago

Navy Pier

Navy Pier is a hub of lake cruises and dinner boats. Traffic around it is heavy on summer weekends, and parking is expensive. We drop you near your boat's gate and collect you after, so you can board without circling the garage and the return is arranged for the time that the boat docks.

River landings

River cruises depart from docks along the Chicago River near Michigan Avenue and Wacker Drive. Boarding is time-sensitive, so we arrive early and brief the chauffeur on your landing. On busy summer days the lower-level streets are crowded, and we choose the drop-off that keeps you closest to the gangway.

Ocean and Great Lakes sailings

If you are joining an ocean ship, you may need a flight or a long drive to a port elsewhere. Tell us the sailing and we advise, or arrange the airport leg to O'Hare or Midway. For a drive to a port in the Midwest or on the Gulf, we plan the whole route in advance.

Group evenings

Private charters and dinner cruises mean groups arriving together. We send multiple SUVs and stage them for a smooth arrival, with the chauffeurs in contact so that the party reaches the pier at the same time. For a wedding or corporate party, one coordinator at our desk handles the timings.

Planning the boat day around the weather

Chicago's river and lake cruises run mostly from May to October, and the weather can change the day. If a cruise is cancelled or delayed, the desk tracks it and moves your pickup. For an evening charter, the chauffeur waits at the landing until the boat docks and delivers the group to dinner or the hotel.

Timed to embarkation

Pickup calculated backwards from your boarding window and the port's traffic pattern.

Terminal knowledge

Chauffeurs know the correct pier, lane and porter points at each cruise terminal.

Disembarkation pickups

We track the ship's arrival and hold the vehicle until you clear the terminal.

FAQ

Cruise Port Transfers in Chicago — questions

Is there an ocean cruise port in Chicago?

Not for ocean ships. Chicago's boats are river and lake cruises leaving from Navy Pier and the river landings, and we serve both.

Can you drop me at the right gate at Navy Pier?

Yes. We plan the drop-off close to your boat's boarding point and arrange the return pickup for the time the cruise ends.

Can you take me to a cruise port in another city?

Yes, through an airport transfer or a long-distance drive. Tell us the ship and sailing time and we will advise on the best option.

Can several cars arrive together for a private charter?

Yes. We stage multiple SUVs for group arrivals and keep the chauffeurs in contact so that the whole party arrives on schedule.

Do you also collect guests after a dinner cruise?

Yes. The chauffeur waits near the landing and is at the kerb when the boat docks, so late guests are not left on the pier in poor weather.

What happens if my river cruise is delayed by weather?

The desk follows the delay and moves the pickup time, so the chauffeur is at the landing when the boat docks and not before.
