Day 1 - Portland, OR - Friday

“The Rose City” offers endless delights and discoveries. After your arrival downtown at the luxurious Hilton Executive Tower Hotel, relax and perhaps stroll the streets of beautiful Portland. Your hotel is steps away from shopping, restaurants, theaters and other downtown attractions.

If time permits, explore the International Rose Test Garden and the wooded trails of the Hoyt Arboretum. In the evening, meet your fellow riverboat travelers and Columbia Queen staff for a private Welcome Reception. You’ll enjoy light hors d’oeuvres and cocktails with plenty of time for dinner on your own later.
