River cruisers can retrace Lewis and Clark explorations
American Cruise Lines announced the offering of Lewis and Clark theme cruises aboard the Queen of the West, an “authentic” 120-passenger paddlewheeler operating in the Columbia and Snake Rivers of the Pacific Northwest.
“American Cruise Lines will offer an unforgettable journey along the legendary rivers that helped shape the West,” says a press release. The trips will start in April
“Guests will discover ancient lands of Native Americans; marvel at the technological miracles of the river’s lock system, where a series of seven locks takes you 780 feet above sea level; and cruise from the lush valley of the Columbia River Gorge to the high desert inland canyons,” the release says.
“The spring is really the ideal time for this cruise – the days are longer and the scenery is just breathtaking that time of year,” said Timothy Beebe, Vice President, American Cruise Lines.
Onboard lecturers and entertainers will bring the stories of Lewis & Clark’s Corps of Discovery to life. On shore, tour guides and regional experts lead the way as guests retrace the steps of the two famed explorers, visiting sites made famous by their path of discovery.
Highlights of the theme cruise include featured guest speakers, dinners with Lewis and Clark impersonators, film screenings and guided tours of parks.
American Cruise Lines, the largest U.S. cruise company, operates the newest fleet of small ships in the industry and offers more than 30 unique itineraries along the inland waterways and rivers of the Pacific Northwest, Alaska, the Mississippi River System and East Coast of the United States, from New England to Florida.
