Set sail for the recreation mecca of the rivers. Wine lovers and foodies revel in tours and tastings—we think Syrah tastes even better when sipped from the bow and overlooking the hills of the riverbank. And for the adventurer, explore the Cascade playground by hike, kayak, raft, skiff, or swim. It’s all impressive and all-inclusive.

Photography Cruise
Take in the rivers with a professional photographer guest host who guides you on capturing the perfect shots—onboard, in-the-field, and one-on-one.

It’s a striking difference of both climates and scenery.
Whether you follow shorebird migrations, spawning salmon, or the harvest… pick your season and pack your bags!
From Desert to Waterfall
