Fun Facts

The Sternwheeler Columbia Gorge, launched in 1983, is a modern replica of the 19th-century paddlewheel steamboats that once navigated the Columbia River.

The vessel provides passengers with breathtaking views of the Columbia River Gorge, a designated National Scenic Area, during its cruises.

Unlike the original steam-powered sternwheelers, this modern version uses a diesel engine to power its paddlewheel.

The boat is a popular venue for weddings, corporate events, and themed cruises, offering a unique setting on the water.

Operated by the Portland Spirit company, it is one of several vessels offering river cruises in the Pacific Northwest.
