DEAR ALUMNI AND FRIENDS,Discover the pristine glory of the Pacific Northwest—a region of unparalleled natural bounty and spellbinding beauty—where waterfalls plunge down mossy cliffs, powerful rivers are edged by steep canyon walls, and mountains swathed in dense greenery. From Vancouver to Clarkston, cruise the mighty Columbia and Snake Rivers aboard the American Empress, the largest and most elegant riverboat west of the Mississippi.

Your adventure begins with a stay in Vancouver, Washington, situated just minutes from Portland, famed for its gorgeous parks, eclectic neighborhoods, and diverse culinary scene. Board the grand American Empress, a modern vessel that exudes the charm of a nineteenth-century riverboat, and cruise to Astoria, where splendid Victorian homes and maritime relics mingle with delightful cafés and shops. Admire the lovely scenery and small-town charm of The Dalles, and head ashore in Stevenson, your gateway to the famed Bonneville Dam and the Columbia Gorge Interpretive Center Museum. Before concluding your riverboat voyage in Clarkston, travel to Richland and explore nearby Sacajawea State Park, the site of Lewis and Clark’s 1805 campsite.

This outstanding seven-night cruise includes fresh regional cuisine, beautifully appointed accommodations, and fascinating shore excursions. Reserve your spot by October 30, 2018, to receive the $200 early booking savings per stateroom. Don’t miss the opportunity to encounter the Pacific Northwest with fellow alumni.

Sincerely,

Sara Wald, ’01 Vice President of Outreach NDSU Foundation and Alumni Association
