August 2nd, 2019, we reserved the entire brand-new Odyssey River Cruise boat. Food was amazing, prepared fresh onboard, with premium open bar. This is a new service that glides up the North Branch of the Chicago river, then down the South Branch then back to Michigan Ave, a very smooth ride compared to our previous events out on the lake.
