A Must Experience - The experience greatly exceeded our expectations! Service was outstanding plus the dinner was yummy!! The piano player set a romantic mood and it was truly beautiful to cruise at night with all the glimmering lights of the city.

1st time on the Willamette River. - Had a great time on the Willamette River. The dinner was very good and the staff were friendly. Got to listen to the history after dinner on the upper deck. Would like to do this cruise but see it during the day too. The city lights at night were amazing.

Friendly staff, good food. - This was a very good experience. The staff were very friendly, food was very good - I highly recommend the lamb, and the city lights at night are beautiful. If I were to do another cruise I think I would choose a brunch or lunch cruise in order to see the sights better.

Mid - The dinner was good, I wish there were more places to lounge. Most of the trip is down the Columbia gorge, but the end is portland. The tour guide was automated and mid, but the portland bridges were cool to see on the top deck.

Disappointing - We went on the night cruise in December hoping to see holiday lights. The unnecessarily bright inside light reflected off the windows so we could not see outside. They dimmed the indoor lights briefly, which improved the view, but turned them back up after a few minutes for no apparent reason. When we went to the outdoor observation deck, there were few holiday lights on the route (obviously not something the tour operator could contol). The food included in the fare was awful, though the drinks, appetizer and dessert for which we paid extra on board were good. The ramp to board is very steep for people with mobility challenges. Our server was attentive and personable. I was glad we did not pay the supplement $72 per person as of Dec 2025) offered a few days before the tour. It provided a guaranteed window table, one free drink, and a couple of other freebies I can't recall. Almost all of the tables are window tables anyway and the drinks are about $15 each.
