The Allure of the West

May 12, 2008

History, Adventure, Beauty by the Mile

The Columbia River remained virtually unexplored until Lewis and Clark set forth on their famed expedition in 1804. News of the natural wealth they found spread like wildfire, and soon over 300 paddlewheelers were at work on the river ferrying goods and people through some of the most breathtaking land in the country. The beauty and history of the Old West comes alive along the Columbia and Snake Rivers.

The West as Few Know It

Leisurely days. Spectacular scenery. Lovely Victorian furnishings and attentive service.

That was life on Columbia River riverboats 150 years ago, and what your clients can experience again today. Deluxe in every respect, Queen of the West and Columbia Queen are custom-designed to reflect the best of the past and the present. Modern comforts include spacious staterooms graced with spa-quality amenities. They’ll also enjoy traditional bow landings, onboard enrichment programs and warm hospitality from an American crew that shares their curiosity to see what’s around the next bend.
