Your Itinerary

    1 Portland, OR
    Arrive in Portland and settle into your hotel, located right at the ship's dock for a seamless boarding process. Situated between the waters of the Columbia and Willamette Rivers, the area's history is forever entwined with the fortunes of these great rivers.

    2Cruising the Columbia Rivere
    Board the ship and enjoy a day with Mount Hood and Mount St. Helens as your backdrop as we cruise to the mouth of the West's most famous river. In the golden age of riverboats, sternwheelers crossed the waterfront while steam whistles and calliopes rang out across the water. Enjoy the scenery in the company of fellow guests in one of the spacious lounges or on the sun deck.

    3Astoria, OR
    Situated near the mouth of the Columbia River, this is where Lewis & Clark spent their winter on the Corps of Discovery before returning home. Astoria’s Victorian-era homes and replica of Fort Clatsop lend to Astoria’s historic feel, while the sights like the Astoria Trolley and local craft beer bars lend to Astoria’s charm.

    4Kalama, WA/Mt. St. Helens
    ‘Where were you when…’ The 1980 eruption of Mt. St. Helens has forever left its mark on the memories of the people who witnessed it, the landscape surrounding the volcano; you’ll see the pumice plain and lava dome, and the impact of the mighty volcano on the region.

    5Stevenson, WA
    The town of Stevenson is a charming old port, home to the Columbia River Gorge Interpretive Center. But it’s also just a short drive over the Bridge of the Gods to Multnomah Falls, and the other charming falls that make up the area.

    6Disembark in Portland, OR
    Disembark after breakfast.
