A Region’s Bounty

DISCOVER THE BOUNTIFUL PACIFIC NORTHWEST IN THE SHIPS’ DINING ROOMS,

on farms, in orchards, and at wineries. Our chefs provision our ships along our route, shopping at local farms as part of a program that raises the bar on locality, seasonality, and sustainability. Our certification as a Food Alliance Supply Chain Ally ensures that food served aboard is produced by well-treated workers, derived from humanely-raised animals, and that regional wildlife habitats are protected and enhanced in its production. And our Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch certification means that seafood served aboard our fleet is harvested in environ-

mentally responsible ways. For you, that means delicious dining that highlights the best of the area.

On our Columbia & Snake Rivers voyage, enjoy a farm-to-table lunch in Walla Walla on spring departures, or in the golden Hood River Valley in the fall, and welcome a vintner or brewer aboard for a sampling in the ship’s lounge. And on the British Columbia itinerary, learn about polyculture farming, the next level of farm sustainability. Then enjoy a dinner entirely sourced from a local polyculture farm. Eat well, and go home with a deeper knowledge of how delectable dining and sustainability can live in harmony.

DOING WHATEVER IT TAKES TO MAKE YOUR EXPERIENCE EXTRAORDINARY

WHETHER IT MEANS WAKING EARLY TO HELP YOU CAPTURE A WATERFALL

in the pre-dawn light, constantly manning spotting scopes to search for killer whales along the coast, or staying up late for an impromptu stargazing, our team is dedicated to revealing the Pacific Northwest and ensuring you an exceptional experience. Benefit from the personalities of an expedition leader, naturalists, a Lindblad-National Geographic certified photo instructor, and on select departures, a National Geographic photographer. Enjoy the company and perspective of a historian who can quote extensively from the journals of Lewis and Clark, or an anthropologist who has lived among the Coast Salish peoples of the San Juan Islands. Depending on your itinerary, you’ll also travel with either a geologist or undersea specialist.
