I give the city tours (by bus) to some of the groups that arrive on the existing Great Lakes cruise ships. I usually meet the groups down at Iroquois Landing on the Calumet River, quite a slog, and quite a security hassle to get in and out of. But once last summer they had docked at Navy Pier. I never quite found out what circumstances allowed it that one time, but not for the other voyages.
I think there are three cruise lines currently (in a normal year) doing Great Lakes cruises, and Viking is coming.
Not sure what you mean by "North Pier." The north lock structure? Or Dime Pier?
