Small ship river cruise line adds additional wine themed sailings
Seattle, WA, February 16, 2017—New year, more wine. UnCruise Adventures introduces
an updated wine itinerary aboard the 88-guest S.S. Legacy with
additional departures for 2017. Week-long river cruises depart round-trip
from Portland, Oregon, along the Columbia, Snake and Willamette rivers
and explore one of the country’s most renowned wine regions.
The
updated "Rivers of Wine" itinerary adds a day of wine tasting in the
Willamette Valley, an area with more than 500 wineries and known for
world-class Pinot Noir. A visit to the Walter Clore Wine and Culinary
Center has also been added.
With
seven departures scheduled between April and October, oenophiles visit
wineries and vineyards in five leading Washington and Oregon wine
regions—Walla Walla, the Columbia Gorge, Red Mountain, Columbia Valley
and the Willamette Valley. A sommelier and local wine expert sail aboard
the ship for a week of special wine tastings, pairings, and
presentations.
“The
Pacific Northwest is one of the country’s best wine regions and
combines award-winning wineries with a gorgeous natural setting,” said
Captain Dan Blanchard, CEO. “There’s no better way to experience this
area than by cruising down the river with a wine expert on board.”
In
addition to winery visits and tastings, guests are treated to an
exclusive lunch at Terra Blanca Winery and Estate Vineyard and private
wine production and cave tours at Archer Vineyard and Maryhill Winery.
Along the seven-night journey, guests also have the opportunity to take
in the region’s natural beauty with visits to the Columbia River Gorge
National Scenic Area, Multnomah Falls, and Palouse Falls canyon.
The
S.S. Legacy, a replica coastal steamer, emulates the steam ships found
along the rivers in the early 1900s. Travelers enjoy the ambiance of an
elegant coastal steamer with modern conveniences. Public spaces include
an elegant Klondike Dining Room, Grand Salon with dance floor, wine bar
and rollicking Pesky Barnacle Saloon. An elevator connects three decks.
Wellness amenities include two hot tubs, a massage, fitness equipment
and yoga on deck.
Charters
and group incentives are available. To book or to request additional
