Closest Cruise Ship to Portland, Or?

Question

What's a Cruise Ship that departs closest to Portland, Or. I don't feel like driving down to Los Angeles!

Answer 1

there are hardly any ships that leave from LA anyways. Vancover is huge for trips to alaska, asn san franciso can go to either alaska or south to mexico.

Answer 2

Cruise ships come into San Francisco, but I don't know if you can begin a trip there or if it's only a stop along with way.

Answer 3

Many of the Alaska cruise leave out of Seattle, WA.  Cruise lines will also arrange for your flight to and from the ports, but a travel agent might be able to find you an even better rate than what the cruise line offers.

Answer 4

How about the cruises on the Columbia/Snake Rivers?  They begin & end in Astoria.  Otherwise you would need to go to Seattle or SF and plan on sailing to Alaska or Mexico.  The River cruises are very nice, slow, and on paddlewheel boats seeing lots of historical areas.  The company is Majestic Cruise line formerly Cruise West & Delta Steamboat.  If you want Mexico, but w/o flying then you definately want the Dawn Princess from SF until the end of April.

Answer 5

Perhaps check into departing from Seattle as that is an easy car ride and much closer to where you live.

Whatever you decide, have a great time.
