Great Pacific Northwest
Board the American Empress to wind through pine forested vistas and snow-capped mountains on this incredible seven-night journey with an included one-night hotel stay. Begin your adventure with a night in Spokane, a cultural hub and the childhood home of Bing Crosby. Then, head to Clarkston—learn about the time Lewis and Clark spent here, see gold fever memorabilia, and take in views from Hells Canyon, North America’s deepest river gorge. Make a stop in Richland, a city nestled in the Tri-Cities metropolitan area, which is known for its outdoor recreation and attractions like Sacajawea State Park. Nearby is a renowned winemaking region with award-wining wineries waiting to be discovered. Explore the history of frontiersmen and gunslingers in The Dalles, once known as the end of the Oregon Trail. Stop in Stevenson, a laid-back town in the heart of the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area with peaceful riverfront parks and energetic pubs, then spend a day sailing the idyllic Columbia River. Before your journey comes to an end, cruise to Astoria, the oldest city west of the Rocky Mountains. Stroll its historic downtown to browse the chic cafés and shops.
