Itinerary

Day by Day Summary and Map

Day 1 - Sunday - Jun 25, 2023

Portland, United States

Begin your journey in this vibrant region with majestic Mount Hood serving as a stunning backdrop. Situated between the waters of the Columbia and Willamette Rivers, the area's history is forever entwined with the fortunes of these great rivers. In the golden age of riverboats, sternwheelers crossed the waterfront while steam whistles and calliopes rang out across the water. With its sparkling rivers, stately evergreens, and mild climate, you will understand why this area was noted as exceptional by explorer Meriwether Lewis.

Day 2 - Monday - Jun 26, 2023

Astoria, United States

The oldest American settlement west of the Rockies, the town of Astoria is steeped in culture and tradition. The city is home to more than 70 Victorian-era homes and nearby is the site of Fort Clatsop, with a replica of the settlement where Lewis and Clark spent the winter of 1805-1806. Astoria is also well-known for being an integral part of the lucrative fur trading industry in the 1800s, with the Pacific Fur Company as the primary trading post in town.

Day 3 - Tuesday - Jun 27, 2023

Kalama, Washington

From our convenient new dock at Kalama, Washington, we will enjoy the grand landscape of the Cascade Mountains on a scenic drive to view the remnants of nearby Mount St. Helens. A local guide enhances your understanding and shares the story of the volcano's 1980 eruption and its impact on the environment and the lives of those in the area. Just off the ship dock, enjoy an expansive city park, unique local artwork throughout an impressive adjacent hotel, and an interesting interpretive center. Or venture out to a nearby family vineyard for an afternoon of wine tasting.

Day 4 - Wednesday - Jun 28, 2023

Stevenson, United States

From the comfort of your private balcony, admire the magnificent bluffs of the Columbia River Gorge, covered in deep green forest and framed by picturesque hillsides that quickly ascend toward the sky. Windsurfers and kiteboarders adorn the landscape as they drift across the broad, shining river. Nearby attractions offer a day of diverse options. Stand in awe of the glorious Multnomah Falls as it tumbles 620-feet off mountains and down into the river. Visit the Bonneville Dam visitor's center to ponder the wonders of hydroelectricity and explore the intriguing exhibits of the Columbia Gorge Interpretive Center Museum. Discover the village of Stevenson, easily accessible from our dock, offering small town charm and a unique Northwest flair. Or simply, sit on deck with a beverage and admire the grandeur of nature.

Day 5 - Thursday - Jun 29, 2023

Portland, United States

End your journey where it began, on Hayden Island, an intriguing community that was once home to Jantzen Beach Amusement Park, earning it the nickname of "Coney Island of the West". Today, this small island is a popular place for houseboats, floating homes, outdoor dining, and water recreation and is also known for its spectacular sunsets.
