Where to Book a Mother's Day Cruise in Chicago

Brunch or dinner with mom in the downtown Chicago area can be taken to the next level with your very own cruise along Lake Michigan. Dining, dancing, and spectacular views are just part of the Mother's Day packages offered in Chicago and the surrounding area, giving you a unique way to spend the day with Mom-who deserves only the best! Here's what the local cruise lines and hotels are offering in Chicago for Mother's Day 2007:

Odyssey Cruises is featuring an exclusive Mother's Day Brunch, Afternoon Meal, or Gourmet Dinner on May 13^th. A rose will await Mom at the private table reserved for the queen of the day! You can toast with a complimentary glass of champagne or mimosa and sample the gourmet, chef-prepared menu. Each tour of the lake includes live entertainment on board with the gorgeous Chicago skyline as the backdrop. Call (866) 305-2469 for reservation information and availability.

It will be a lunch or dinner to remember with the ultimate mother's day buffet offered by Spirit City Cruises. Here you'll feast on Italian and American gourmet selections, and can split some tantalizing desserts: the Elite Chocolate Marquis or Vanilla Bean Cheesecake are sure to complement that glass of sweet champagne. Whether you choose the late lunch or dinner option, you'll find plenty of sights and sounds to enjoy together as the boat leaves the pier and introduces you to a musical spectacle and a Bon Voyage toast. Call (866) 211-3804 to make your reservations.

You might book your cruise with Mystic Blue, one of Chicago's popular event and wedding cruise lines that includes a variety of live music and a gourmet buffet. Mystic Blue Cruise boats are a recent addition to the Navy Pier district, and each boat offers enclosed decks with exceptional views from any table on board! Whether you choose a private table indoors, or an outdoor spot to take in the skyline, you can both take in the entire cruise experience. The gourmet menu serves up fresh seafood, Italian-American dishes, and (most importantly), a wide selection of dessert.
