The River Cruise Lady

River cruising and small ship luxury cruising

AmaWaterways River Cruises

North America

You know about the paddlewheelers on the Mississippi but did you know there is also one on the Columbia/Snake River visiting Oregon and Washington State – here is the itinerary map below which follows along some of the Lewis & Clark Trail

I sailed on this wonderful itinerary onboard the American Empress sailing from Portland Oregon to Clarkston Washington.  The landscape was ever changing and I was able to capture some stunning photos.  This one of Multnomah falls is a favorite.

There is just something mesmerizing about watching a paddlewheel go around and around. Combine that with wonderful food, places to visit, people to meet adds up to a terrific trip.  Most of the shore excursions were included and were very similar to a hop on hop off type where you could spend some time at each stop.

Here is a video of my trip on the American Empress:

 

In addition to the paddlewheelers on the Mississippi, the newest trend from both American Cruise Lines and Viking River Cruise Lines is to bring the European-like ship experience to the North American waters.  Here is a quick 1 minute video showing Vikings new ship that will be launched in 2022

You’ll get to see Egypt’s Great Pyramid of Giza which is not only the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, but the only one that has survived all the way to modern times. Constructed between 2560 and 2540 BCE, the pyramid was built for Pharaoh Kufu – the second pharaoh of the 4th Dynasty. It is the largest of all the tombs built in the ancient world and has towered over the West Bank of the Nile River for more than 4,000 years.

If your passport is tucked away waiting for the wo If your passport is tucked away waiting for the world to reopen, it would be a great time to find it and check the expiry date. 
You wouldn’t want to be rivercruise-ready only to find out you’re not passport-ready!! (besides, it has probably missed you 😉)
