Willamette River Lunch Cruise

Meet at the dock (1010 SW Naito Parkway or occasionally 110 SE Caruthers St) in downtown Portland and board for a two-hour journey along the Willamette.

As you glide past the city’s skyline, riverfront homes, bridges and riverbanks, your captain provides narration of local history and sights.

Inside, you’ll be seated at a reserved table and served a freshly prepared Northwest lunch with entrée choice, live piano music sets the mood, and you’re free to explore the observation decks for vistas and fresh air.

The pace is relaxed, the river calm, and the setting makes for a memorable midday break from the city. Bring a light layer (deck can breeze), consider adding dessert or appetizers, and enjoy the change of perspective from water level.
