In the far corner of the Pacific Northwest, our Columbia River small-ship expedition cruises in Washington and Oregon transit remarkable diversity: From lush farmlands to dense forests, stark desertscapes to historic river routes – perfect for exploring by small ship, kayak and Zodiac. And all along the way of the adventure cruise, like a welcome and personal soundtrack, we have the company of our expert Naturalists and Historians – to explain and animate the life of this region for us.
Relive a vital chapter in our nation’s history on “In the Wake of Lewis & Clark,” an adventure travel cruise along the Columbia River that takes you through a landscape that looks much as it did when they saw it two centuries ago. Stand on deck as the ship is elevated more than 700 feet through a series of eight navigation locks, a marvel of modern engineering. Navigate the mighty Columbia River on this adventure cruise and explore the pristine reaches of the Snake and Palouse Rivers, pushing deeper upriver until we hit the Washington-Idaho border.
For those with limited time but just as much curiosity about this region, we invite you on "Autumn Sojourn in the Pacific Northwest." This is a 4-night expedition eco cruise vacation that provides the immersive experiences standard on a Lindblad expedition, with a focus on the wine and culinary delights of the region as well.
