KENNEWICK–Action News has learned you can take a cruise down the Columbia until next Sunday.
This is the first time the cruise ship named the “Portland Spirit” has set sail in local waters.
The company that operates it brought the Sternwheeler earlier this year, but it was so successful it returned with the Portland Spirit.
It holds more people.
On Sunday, Action News caught up with a woman celebrating her 90th birthday.
“I’ve been on cruises before, but I’ve never been on this one and I think I prefer this one over the one going from Alaska down,” Marcella Thompson, a passenger on the ship said.
“A lot of people, just like in Portland, have lived all their lives and have never been on the river. They’ve never seen underneath the bridge they’ve crossed over every day. They haven’t seen the houses from the river that they see every day, so it’s a completely different view,” Captain Lowell Gillespie said.
The spirit docks at the Clover Island Inn and offers a variety of cruises from brunch to dinner.
