Revel in the Columbia & Snake Rivers

Fascinating scenery, epicurean delights, and the American West.

Cruise the rivers of Washington’s wine country in the wake of Lewis & Clark. Embrace the Pacific Northwest spirit on a 7-night exploration encompassing both human and natural history. Experience the Columbia and Snake Rivers by jet boat, kayak, skiff, and by transiting eight mammoth dams. From forested riverbanks and fertile plains to high desert and arid canyons, no other cruise will take you this far into the breadth and depth of the wilderness, history, and culture of the American West.

See evidence of the great floods that carved this region thousands of years ago in the breathtaking Columbia River Gorge, the golden coulees and scablands, the great black pinnacles of basalt that guided Lewis & Clark. The volcanic forces of the coast are apparent in snow-capped mountain peaks and the emerald evergreen forests coating the Cascade Range. The past and present coexist here, from Oregon Trail wagon ruts to the dams that tame the mighty Columbia River.

Much of the Columbia & Snake Rivers remains pristine and wild and adventures beckon daily. Enjoy private winery tours and tastings. Take a jet boat up Hells Canyon past 7,000-year-old Indian petroglyphs. The history of the Columbia River region is not one preserved in amber, but one you can touch, taste, and experience firsthand.
