This Morning Mimosa Cruise In Oregon Is The Best Way To Start A Summer Day

One of the best ways to see some scenic Oregon beauty is to hop on a boat and view it from the water. Portland Spirit offers gorgeous cruises of the Columbia River Gorge and downtown Portland. What could possibly make a cruise even better? A mimosa, of course! Check out the Brunch Cruise, and start your summer day in the best way possible.

Portland Spirit has two large ships for brunch cruises: The Columbia Gorge Sternwheeler, which tours on the Columbia River through the gorge, and The Portland Spirit, which offers cruises on the Willamette River through downtown Portland.

Both ships offer a delicious brunch cruise that will make any summer day perfect.

The Columbia Gorge Sternwheeler Brunch Cruise boards at 9:30 a.m. and departs at 10:00 a.m.

The two-hour cruise takes you through the heart of the Columbia River Gorge. Your captain narrates the tour, telling you about the history of the gorge along the way.

The brunch buffet is piled high with delicious items like croissants, eggs, country-style potatoes, French toast, seafood, and pasta.

The best part of the brunch? Bottomless mimosas, champagne, or sparkling cider.

The Portland Spirit Brunch Cruise boards at 11 a.m. and departs at 11:30 a.m. This two-hour cruise takes you through downtown Portland, and you'll hear all about the history and features of the landmarks you pass along the way.

Whether you tour the Gorge from 10 a.m. to noon, or sleep in a bit and tour downtown Portland from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., a brunch cruise will definitely make your summer complete.
