About the Sternwheeler Columbia Gorge

Navigating the Columbia Gorge for nearly 40 years.

Sternwheeler Columbia Gorge operates dining and sightseeing cruises along the Columbia River with departures from Cascade Locks Marine Park. A popular boat tour less than an hour from Portland for locals and tourists alike, come aboard to experience the breathtaking vistas of northwest Oregon.

An easy drive from Portland, we are a few minutes down the highway from Multnomah Falls Waterfall – Oregon’s biggest tourist attraction. You’ll find us in the Cascade Locks Marine Park – along with newly opened Ixtapa Mexican Restaurant overlooking the Gorge – a great weekend destination for families, or a vacation highlight for travelers. Columbia River dining cruises are the most popular among our visitors. We have a full service bar featuring draft selections from local breweries. All dining cruises are staffed by some of our best local restaurant partners.
