2015 Departures Queen of the West
When Lewis & Clark began their famous expedition from St. Louis in 1804 to explore the Louisiana Purchase, no one knew what they might find in western America. The expedition wintered at Fort Clatsop, near the western end of the Columbia River in Oregon, before returning east in the spring of 1806. The fort was built in three weeks in 1805, and today a replica of the original camp stands as the Fort Clatsop National Memorial. American Cruise Lines offers a guided tour of the near-perfect recreation of the fort, as well as interactive demonstrations and exhibits that allow you to truly discover the journey of these famous pioneers.

A veteran of the Columbia and Snake Rivers, Queen of the West underwent a major renovation in 2011, with upgrades throughout. Onboard you’ll find an intimate atmosphere with multiple lounges and cozy staterooms, just smaller than other American Cruise Lines ships. Only 120 guests allows for congenial camaraderie, and the attentive service of American Cruise Lines shine brilliantly.
