Portland Spirit Dinner Cruise

The best way to dine in Portland is on the Willamette River enhanced by dazzling city sights and lights. You’ll enjoy a 2.5 hour cruise, a three-course dinner with Northwest cuisine (locally sourced and prepared fresh on board), live piano music and narration of the sights on the outer decks. For a party of two to a group of friends or co-workers, this is a quintessential Portland experience.
