A Voyage of Discovery That Takes You to Extraordinary Places

Equally important to your experience aboard the luxurious Columbia Queen, your visits ashore on our varied shore excursions are an integral part of your extraordinary cruise vacation.

Two-hundred years ago, Captains Lewis and Clark forged a route through the wild Pacific Northwest landscape. Now, you can experience the same majestic grandeur of the region, enhanced by both historical sites and a variety of modern-day activities giving you the best of both worlds. It is their path that we will follow - and their discoveries - that will allow us to find our own way along a 1,000 mile journey visiting extraordinary sites ashore.

Aboard our new luxurious European style motor coaches, with all of their amenities and modern technology, we will explore the Pacific Northwest’s most interesting places.

You will find the natives are a friendly sort, predisposed to smile. There is ample opportunity to obtain hand-crafted items and needed staples, as we’ve planned daily excursions into the most intriguing areas. From the Columbia Queen and ashore, wildlife is abundant. You’ll see that the centuries have done little to change the geography around us as we watch numerous energetic waterfalls plunge fearlessly off sheer-face walls of granite and basalt. Like the Pioneers that preceded you, this adventure into history and American cultures is not so much about your travels – it’s about your spirit.
