Broadway in the Great Northwest
April 26, 2020 to May 04, 2020
Join Playbill Travel on our first American cruise as we journey through the Pacific Northwest on the Snake and Columbia Rivers! We set sail on the American Empress, American Queen Steamboat Company’s luxurious riverboat, from April 26-May 4, 2020.
For the first time, Playbill Travel is taking its guests through the true beauty of a legendary American landscape. Join us as we embark on the great highways of early exploration as the American Empress follows in the footsteps of Lewis and Clark. Our journey will celebrate the wonders of the American Songbook, history of the area, delicious regional cuisine, and a celebration of the great wines being produced in the now-famous region.
After spending the night of April 26 in Portland and visiting scenic areas during the morning of April 27, we will board the American Empress to start us on our journey that will tour the sites along the Columbia River and Snake River along the way to our final stop, Clarkston, Washington. Because history plays such a large part of this cruise experience, the American Empress has a “Riverlorian” onboard to impart the history and legends of the Columbia and Snake Rivers.And, as always, Playbill Travel will bring along a wonderful lineup of Broadway talent who will travel right alongside you by day, and wow us with incredible performances by night.
Please join us on this memorable voyage in the Great Northwest!
