Columbia & Snake River Cruise Destinations
From the Pacific to the high desert canyons, the Columbia and Snake pack in astonishing variety. Here are the highlights.
The Columbia River Gorge
An 80-mile National Scenic Area of sheer basalt cliffs, waterfalls and windswept vistas — including Multnomah Falls — with Mt. Hood towering to the south.
Portland & the Willamette
The “City of Roses” — gardens, food and the gateway to Oregon wine country at the start of most cruises.
Astoria & the Pacific
Where the Columbia meets the sea and Lewis & Clark reached the ocean — Victorian houses, the Astoria Column and Fort Clatsop.
Wine country
The Columbia Valley and Walla Walla — some of America’s finest wines, tasted on included excursions ashore.
The Snake River & Hells Canyon
Up the Snake to Clarkston, gateway to Hells Canyon, North America’s deepest river gorge, and Nez Perce heritage.
