Pacific Northwest: Columbia and Snake Rivers

Retrace the route of Lewis and Clark as you cruise between Portland, OR and Clarkston, WA on the paddlewheeler, Queen of the West. From the high desert of the inland empire to the endless sweep of the Pacific Ocean, the Columbia and Snake rivers follow an epic course, flowing through a rich tapestry of ever-changing landscapes, lush wildlife habitat and fascinating human endeavors. Local experts, Native American performers and well-planned shore excursions heighten each experience. Join American Cruise Lines for an unforgettable journey along the legendary rivers that helped shape the West.

Queen of the West has undergone a multi-million dollar renovation after it was acquired by American Cruise Lines in 2009. Aimed at providing a more comfortable and elegant atmosphere for passengers, meticulous care and attention to detail went into the reconstruction, from the newly designed and custom-built furniture, to the fresh interior décor, the expanded size of staterooms and the addition of more private balconies.
