A Week On The Columbia & Snake Rivers Changed My Mind About U.S. Cruises
Going into my first U.S. river cruise, I was a little nervous I wasn’t going to like it. Most of my river cruising experience has been in Europe, where the towns are impossibly old and there are castles and beautiful archetecture everywhere you look. I figured a U.S. river cruise would be… fine. Maybe a little slower. Maybe not quite as charming.
But after a week on the American Jazz, sailing from Clarkston to Stevenson, Washington, with stops in Astoria, Pendleton, Mt. St. Helens and a bunch of towns you’ve probably never heard of, I can tell you – I was wrong in the best way. It was beautiful and fun and easy, and it surprised me at almost every turn.

Small Ship Cruising in Alaska on American Cruise Lines
Naturalist John Muir described Alaska as “the very paradise of the poets, the abode of the blessed,” finding spirituality in a rugged wilderness “where the mountains themselves seemed to “declare (God’s) glory in terms still more impressive.”
After concluding 12 days exploring our 49th state on American Cruise Lines’ ship, American Constellation, it’s hard not to be in complete agreement with his assessment. In fact, Alaska’s natural splendor is such, words hardly do it justice.
While this is our second time to cruise here, we were told you haven’t really seen Alaska until you’ve seen it on a small ship. And I couldn’t agree more.
