Your Itinerary

1Embark in Portland, OR
Welcome aboard the Queen of the West!

2Astoria, 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.

3Mt. 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.

4Stevenson, 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.

5Disembark in Portland, OR
