Snake River Cruise?

[Toledo Cruiser]

Have any CCer's gone on the Linblad Snake River cruise in the Oregon/Washington border area? Hubby & I are looking at it for the Fall of 2012.

I haven't taken this particular cruise but have traveled three times with Lindblad (Alaska, Galapagos, and Baja). It is absolutely the best in terms of nature cruising. The staff is outstanding, especially the naturalists. You will be pampered and the food will be excellent. However, Lindblad uses small expedition ships. The cabins are tiny and the bathrooms double as showers. If that doesn't bother you, you will have a fantastic trip.

Did not do Lindblatt but did the Queen of the West paddle wheeler on the Snake River. It was a very pretty and they found some nice local things to do and see. Low Key but Snake River is interesting.

Thanks for your comments! Probably Columbia River is a more accurate description of the trip. We're looking forward to trying Lindblad in the US, before venturing to Antarticia with them :).

Have been to Lewis and Clark and the Antarctic with Lindblad - both were outstanding. Bear in mind that the NG Explorer that does the Antarctic is vastly more spacious than the NG/Sea Lion and Sea Bird!

Thank you for your reply. I'll keep in mind the differences in the ships. Would you like to share any impressions or must dos of these two cruises, or the Oregon area? We hope to spend a few days along the Oregon coast post-cruise.
