columbia river cruises

In the Wake of Lewis and Clark

The Columbia river joined by the Snake River, rolls with increasing force through fertile farmlands, past snow-covered volcanoes, and finally knifes through a mountain range to complete a 1,200-mile journey to the wide sea. Our comfortable, maneuverable, small ships enable you to travel from the mouth of the Columbia all the way inland to Idaho, more than 450 miles upstream — a voyage impossible for a big ship.
