Day 3 - Tuesday - May 3, 2022
Clarkston, United States
Clarkston, United States      
Nestled at the union of the Snake and Clearwater Rivers in southeast Washington, Clarkston is the gateway to North America's deepest gorge - Hells Canyon - on the Snake River. Picturesque vistas, year-round mild climates, and a deep history make this scenic inland port a desirable stop. Spend the day enjoying Clarkston, Washington, and neighboring Lewiston, Idaho, while tracing the legacy of the journey of Meriwether Lewis and William Clark - for whom the cities are named.
Day 4 - Wednesday - May 4, 2022
Richland, United States      
Step off the boat directly into a perfectly polished park, and take a short stroll to downtown shops, eateries, and attractions. Incorporated in 1910, Richland remained a small agricultural community until it was acquired by the U.S. Army for the site of the Hanford Engineer Works - used to produce plutonium during World War II and the Cold War. Today, the historic B Reactor and other important historic venues are part of the Manhattan Project National Historic Park. This and many other intriguing locations are offered as part of your experience in Richland.
Day 5 - Thursday - May 5, 2022
The Dalles, United States
The Dalles, United States      
At the end of the overland Oregon Trail, The Dalles holds a unique place in history as a jumping-off spot for pioneers, soldiers, gold miners, adventurers, gun-slingers, floozies, and scallywags. The Dalles, although a part of the Oregon High Desert, features a long growing season and a relatively warm climate that supports the growing of grapes. As a result, the region is home to a wine scene unlike any other in Oregon. Visitors will be pleased to see the rolling hills speckled with vineyards.
Day 6 - Friday - May 6, 2022
Stevenson, United States      
Stevenson embraces the adventurist - with hiking trails, hot springs, and local wineries, a visitor is sure to find plenty to do. Opportunities for educational enlightenment abound within the Columbia River Gorge Interpretive Center and at Bonneville Dam. Consider a stop downtown to visit restaurants, cafes, and small locally-owned shops in which reside treasures of the Pacific Northwest.
Day 7 - Saturday - May 7, 2022
River Cruising      
Watch small river towns and lush landscapes slowly become lost in the horizon as sunlight plays upon the deck. Take hold of a literary classic, curl up on a plush chair in a cozy corner, and relish in the moment of tranquility. Experience the fulfillment that river cruising offers.
Day 8 - Sunday - May 8, 2022
Astoria, United States
Astoria, United States      
Astoria is known to be the oldest American settlement west of the Rocky Mountains. There is no doubting the richness of the history grounded in this Columbia River town. For thousands of years, the Clatsop Tribe inhabited the lands. Today, you can climb to the top of the Astoria Column - wrapped in depictions of history - and look out over the landscape toward the Pacific Ocean and watch your model wooden airplane glide through the air to its rest below.
Day 9 - Monday - May 9, 2022
Vancouver, United States      
As the journey concludes, there are other opportunities for you to take in the town. Enjoy the city at your leisure, or consider a post-cruise premium experience with airport transfer.
