Includes a plated lunch entree selected by each guest, bread, fountain soft drinks, iced tea, coffee, and hot tea. Appetizers, desserts and other beverages from the full service bar are available for additional purchase on board.
At the end of the cruise, be picked up for a best of Portland city tour. Don't just see the highlights of downtown, your guide will give you a well-balanced overview of both downtown and surrounding area history, culture, current events, and a representation of cultural diversity in the state of Oregon. Travel through the various parts of the city from downtown Portland to the Pearl District and Nob Hill, local neighborhoods. Visit all the must-see attractions including the Pittock Mansion, Lan Su Chinese Garden and the International Rose Test Garden.
Head first to downtown Portland and enjoy the sites of Pioneer Square. Learn about the great diversity found in Portland's downtown area, the historical importance it has played in the state's history, and the fast-growing culture that exists in the city of Portland. Make a stop at Pittock Mansion. This meticulously preserved architectural landmark symbolizes Portland's transformation from a small lumber town into a bustling city. Home to the Pittock family and their descendants until 1958, the house opened to the public as a museum in 1965.
Next visit the International Rose Test Garden. Let the fragrance of over 550 different varieties of roses delight your senses as you explore the lush and beautiful Washington Park. Continue your exploration of Portland's greenery with one of Portland's greatest treasures and most interesting sites to see, Lan Su Chinese Garden. Built by Chinese artisans from Suzhou, it can be considered the most authentic Chinese garden outside of China.
Tour concludes with drop-off at your hotel (or the central meeting point) at approximately 5:30pm.

The luncheon on the Portland spirit was quite nice. Excellent service and the pianist was very talented. The boat ride was super smooth and the scenery relaxing. It would have been nice if the narration was available in the dining room...could only be heard upstairs outside.Our afternoon with Crystal was wonderful! We turned out to be the only passengers so we got all of our questions answered. She drove us all over Portland explaining the history as she drove. The van was very comfortable. We made stops at the Pittcock Mansion, International Rose Test Garden, and the Chinese Garden. We drove the other Portland State University campus as well. It was a delightful afternoon.
Very nice lunch cruise with info along the way, followed by a city tour for 3 more hours. Great way to see many Portland sites in a short amount of time. Van guide was very personable and knowledgeable about the city.
This tour was amazing. My husband and I truly enjoyed the tour and the guide. His knowledge of Portland was extraordinary.
The river tour was fantastic! However the small group city tour was disappointing. The tour guide was great. I was lead to believe the tour would be for up to 4 people. Our group was 7. Not what I wanted and not what I thought I purchased
