DAY 1 Portland, Oregon – Embarkation
Welcome to Portland! Arriving at the airport, UnCruise representatives greet you for your transfer to our hospitality area downtown. And, if you have the time, go explore the city before setting sail on your rivers of wellness cruise. Along with your crew, light appetizers and a little welcome bubbly greet you on board.
DAY 2 Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area
Near the Columbia River Gorge entrance, your sleek ship slips through the locks of Bonneville Dam. A private tour of the massive turbines and fish ladders at the visitor center offers a behind-the-scenes peek. Zip off by motorcoach to towering Multnomah Falls, the tallest falls in Oregon, for an empowering forest hike. Back on board, sit back for an afternoon of cruising upriver through the spectacular Columbia River Gorge, a river canyon that cuts the only sea level route in the Cascade Mountains.
DAY 3 Snake River Cruising
Take advantage of a full day of wellness seminars and yoga from Jo and Joe while making your way to the meeting of the Columbia and Snake Rivers. In between inspiration, take in hillside vineyards of some of the area’s more than 200 wineries. Glimpse the surrounding wheat fields of the Palouse—one of the nation’s top wheat growing regions—while you lounge on the sun deck. Join the captain on the bridge for a look at the navigation, and your crew on deck as the ship rises up through four locks, each one raising the vessel almost 100 feet. Finish your day from the top deck hot tub as you soak up the stars.
DAY 4 Clarkston, Washington / Hells Canyon
Board a covered jet boat for a ride into Hells Canyon. This free-flowing stretch of the Snake, hemmed in by vertical cliffs, cuts its way through North America’s deepest river gorge. Keep your eyes peeled for bighorn sheep, golden eagles, and 7,000-year-old petroglyphs. At Cache Creek, a protected National Recreation Area since 1975, Hells Canyon preserves a world of nature and culture to take in while you do outdoor yoga. Finish the afternoon with quiet meditation.
DAY 5 Richland
Wake up with morning yoga sessions and in the afternoon pause to soak in the sweeping views of the Red Mountain AVA, the smallest, warmest wine-grape growing region in Washington. Tour and taste at award-winning Terra Blanca Winery and Estate Vineyard. Then back on board, ease into the afternoon with a relaxing massage and a guided sound journey. Lie down, listen to the gong, and let this deeply meditative experience enrich your flow on the river.
DAY 6 The Dalles, Oregon
Get energized back on land with a morning hike at The Rowena Crest Overlook or Tom McCall point. Wide hillside vistas and fresh air are good for the soul—and only get better as you climb. For the afternoon, explore The Dalles, stroll around town, or kick back with a local craft brew.
DAY 7 Astoria
Wellness means doing what’s right for you. In either the morning or afternoon, choose between hiking to the Astoria Column with free time exploring the quaint Victorian streets of Astoria, or continue your spiritual and wellness journey with a final guided meditation or yoga session. The Captain’s Farewell Dinner this evening, followed by reliving the week through photos and reflections hosted by your crew, is the perfect Namaste to your week.
DAY 8 Portland, Oregon – Disembark
Your crew caps off a rejuvenating and restorative week with another excellent breakfast before bidding you “adieu.” Disembark for your included transfer to the Portland airport.
