River cruises on the Columbia and Snake rivers take passengers through mountains and gorges including the Cascade Mountain Range, Columbia River Gorge, and Hells Canyon.<\/p>\n

Oftentimes when we talk about river cruises within the US we think directly to the Mississippi. While Mississippi cruises are extremely popular among travelers, we have gotten many requests recently for cruises on the Columbia & Snake Rivers.<\/p>\n

American Cruise Lines offers a seven-night itinerary on the Columbia & Snake rivers, with an included hotel stay in Portland before the cruise departs.<\/p>\n
