The American Queen Steamboat Company’s eight-night Pacific Northwest cruise package begins in Vancouver in the US State of Washington, on March 19, 2023, and finishes in Clarkston, with guests cruising onboard the 223-passenger American Empress, the largest, river cruise vessel west of the Mississippi, offering classic elegance alongside modern luxuries. Boasting exceptional service, fine dining, Broadway-calibre entertainment, and an impressive collection of North American regional artifacts dating back to the Gold Rush, the American Empress allows guests a glimpse of days gone by as they journey down the scenic rivers.

The cruise will allow guests to follow in the footsteps of legendary explorers, Lewis and Clark, the first Americans to cross the western portion of the United States, from 1804 to 1806. The cruise also offers many complimentary shore excursions which allow guests to explore historic townships such as Astoria – the oldest American settlement west of the Rockies. The American Empress will also take guests through breathtaking scenery including the famous Columbia River Gorge, lined with hidden waterfalls, rocky cliffs, wildflowers, and also vineyards.  The cruise will delve guests into the heart of Washington’s and Oregon’s wine country, with Oregon alone boasting 725 wineries.  Surrounded by breathtaking scenery, the highly acclaimed wineries of the Pacific Northwest and their fine vintages have made a strong mark with international wine connoisseurs.

Beginning in Vancouver, Washington, the eight-night package includes a night’s accommodation pre-cruise, a seven-night cruise, guided, hop-on-hop-off shore excursions, and onboard meals, beverages, Wi-Fi and gratuities.
