Valued Partners

Great American River Journeys spent over two years in the acquisition and re-introduction of the Columbia Queen. We have also spent an equal amount of time in developing what we believe to be one of the truly great American vacation experiences.

There has been a great deal of collaboration and cooperation to make this happen. Professional organizations, communities which the Columbia Queen visits, numerous interpretive centers and museums that share their knowledge and treasures with curious guests, as well as many others, contribute to making a Columbia Queen cruise vacation such a remarkable experience. In addition to these partners, our team of dedicated Historians and Naturalists escort tours and impart their knowledge each day, both on shore aboard the vessel. We wish to recognize the following groups and organizations for their contributions, assistance and support of the Columbia Queen:

• Oregon Historical Society
• Special Collection Section - Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture
• City of Portland, OR
• Portland Parks and Recreation Department
• The Hilton Portland & Executive Tower
• Skamania County Chamber of Commerce
• United States Coast Guard
• Corp of Engineers
• Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla
• Glacier Bay Cruiseline
