8. Floating Tiki Bar Cruise
In Chicago, weâre one of the few cities where we can dig our toes beneath the sand and jump into the waves to cool off; even with humidity at an all-time high, weâre still far from a tropical paradise with palm trees and coconut-sippy cups.
However, one way is to head to a tiki oasis without spending hundreds on a plane ticket. At this floating tiki bar, you can cruise down the Chicago River while soaking in tropical tunes and the cityâs stunning architecture.
This is a unique tiki Chicago booze cruise experience, from bascule bridges to the Tower buildings.Â
đ Location : 355 Chicago Riverwalk, 60601

Things to do | get yourself on a boat: the best booze cruises in chicago.

Grab your life-jackets and your goggles (beer or otherwise) and head to these 14 booze cruises to work on your sea legs while getting raucously drunk.

A second Taylor Swift cruise was just announced for 2024
The five-day cruise from Texas is packed with parties, prizes and more
Taylor Swift fans can celebrate the pop star on another cruise to the Caribbean this summer. Sing, dance, party and soak up the sun on a high-seas, fan-sponsored cruise with an itinerary that’s all Taylor all the time.
The five-night Summer Era Cruise will sail from Galveston, Texas aboard Royal Caribbean's Mariner of the Seas from June 15-20, 2024, stopping in Cozumel and Costa Maya. While the singer will not be on board (and is not affiliated with the cruise), the superfans organizing the trip promise a trip that’s packed with Swiftie Surprises.
Swifties will enjoy Swiftie Sips, goody bags, trivia, BINGO, theme nights, tours, karaoke, bracelet exchanges, a Mirrorball dance party, a PJ party, prizes, disco night, a door decorating contest and more. A themed cocktail party kicks off the cruise, and an Afterglow party wraps things up. Each activity will be Taylor Swift-themed, and there will be plenty of opportunities to sing and dance to her music.
"I've always adored Taylor. I mean how could you not? My goal is to spread her name and music by creating genuine, enjoyable activities that represent all her music stands for and the things she has done like the Eras tour,” says co-host Parker Landry. “I will incorporate activities that genuinely represent Taylor's kindness and heart. I'm extremely thankful that girls like me have a role model like Taylor to look up to, and I will carry on her culture and vibes throughout the cruise."
Cruise prices start at $863.64. Book the Summer Era Cruise now through Quality Travel .
