The Columbia and Snake Rivers could very well be the fastest-growing river cruise destination in North America. Un-Cruise Adventures recently announced the addition of even more river cruises through the Pacific Northwest aboard their 88-guest S.S. Legacy, a modern cruise ship built in the style of a traditional turn-of-the-century coastal steamer.
“The popularity of USA river cruising is growing,” said Captain Dan Blanchard, CEO. “You don’t have to travel to Europe for a scenic, inclusive river cruise when we have one right here in the United States on the historic Columbia, Snake and Willamette Rivers. We sail roundtrip Portland, Oregon for convenient air connections.”
In 2015, the S.S. Legacy will sail 34 departures of Un-Cruise Adventures’ highly-popular Columbia, Snake and Willamette Rivers itinerary between April and November. Sailing roundtrip from Portland, Oregon, this itinerary holds a wealth of unique features. Over the course of seven days, guests will get to:
- Visit the stunning Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area and towering Multnomah Falls
- Transit eight locks and tour the Bonneville Dam Visitor Center
- Ride a speed boat into Hells Canyon and hear the storied past of the Nez Perce
- Step into early American pioneer history with included tours at Fort Clatsop and Fort Walla Walla
- Discover Victorian Astoria and the fascinating Columbia River Maritime Museum
- Tour enchanting Maryhill Museum and the Columbia Gorge Discovery Center
- Enjoy a private tour and tasting at a Washington winery
- Retrace history following the epic journey of the Lewis & Clark Expedition
- Daily narrative led by guest experts, historians, and onboard Heritage guides
Extensive enrichment options are part of every voyage, and guest lecturers and entertainers are also featured aboard select itineraries. Lewis & Clark expert Todd Webber will join four departures in 2015 to provide insight into the famed pair and their expedition, while singing duo Letters from Home will bring their 1940’s style of music, dancing and comedy to the October 11, 2014 departure.
Un-Cruise’s departures aboard the S.S. Legacy include guided tours in each port of call; innovative meals; and complimentary premium wines, beers and spirits. Taxes, fees and transfers are also included in the cost of each cruise.
