I signed up for what I thought would be a great way to see Portland’s bridges and landmarks, and hear a little history of how the city got it’s start.  I got that, but unexpectedly I also got a very delicious lunch!

Portland Spirit Cruises offers lunch, brunch and dinner cruises up and down the Willamette.  It’s a great way to celebrate a birthday or anniversary, or to entertain out of town friends and family members.   People new to the area can check off a few boxes on their “to do and see list” with one cruise.   There is easy parking near OMSI and the Hampton Opera Center.

 

There’s also the Columbia Gorge Sternwheeler Cruise, which is next on my list of adventures!  There are also specialty cruises including the Halloween Boo Cruise, all day trips to and from Cascade Locks, and Christmas and New Year’s Eve trips as well.
