    Pay attention to the hours. And good luck if the river is too high. They will be closed.

    This is a fun way for the family to experience transportation a hundred years ago. There is no bridge here, so naturally, you must have a little ferry. It saves you some miles as you head back to the Hwy 5 after a day of wine tasting in that region (there are lots of fine wineries nearby) and cheese sampling at the nearby Willamette Valley Creamery. It only takes a few minutes to cross, and costs $2 per car, $1 for a cyclist. It does not operate when the river is high and is also closed on Thanksgiving and Christmas day. Very pretty, rural scenery, there are grassy areas on either side of the river for picnicking and frolicking by the water. But of course, always practice water safety because the river is deep and swift.

    Historic historic! 9 cars loaded on at one time, guided by a motor and aerial cable to keep from drifting away. $2/car and takes about 2-3 min to cross!!!

    My first time riding this on a Harley! Lol

    I used to use it quite a bit with my Grandma so we can get produce from across the river to her near by farm.

    3 1/2 Stars - This is a difficult review to write…read more May 22, 2026 we went on our third Portland Spirit Cruise. We upgraded to the "Admiral Package," as this was a special Rose Festival Cruise, concluding with a fireworks display. The cruise itself was wonderful. The live piano music is a lovely enhancement, and the atmosphere was buoyant ;-). Every staff member was a delight and the captain is charming. But - The Food: Our appetizers were interesting, Mr. Wonderful ordered the Shrimp Cocktail and said it was alright. I had the Cheese Platter, some of the cheeses were hard, (as in dried out) and the crostini was *overly hard, bordering on stale. The salads were good, the dressing delicious. For our mains, I ordered the pasta dish. I took perhaps four bites and stopped eating. The pasta was far beyond al dente, the vegetables were almost unrecognizable - it lacked flavor or texture. Mr. Wonderful ordered the Beef Short ribs, and was happy with his meal. I'm going to chalk this up to me ordering incorrectly. Table clearing was another issue, our bread tray and appetizer plates remained on the table far too long. When our main courses were delivered, there was no room. We ordered our desserts and coffee. We received our coffee about 10 minutes afterwards. Then we watched as our server, served a large table next to us their desserts and a couple of other tables nearby. He may have been overwhelmed as this deck was extremely busy. Anyway, after waiting 20 plus minutes more, we requested our dessert, again. Cold coffee and dessert = not great. Our meal service from start to finish was disorganized. Viewing the fireworks from the top deck was a treat! We enjoy cruising with Portland Spirit and will do so again, but we would *not purchase the upgrade. Hint: Request (and pay for) a window seat on the *second deck, as the views are much more desirable.

    This was a real mixed bag for me. We arrived at 630 for a 7 pm departure as told when we booked…read more However at 630 we were told to go away and boarding wouldn't be until 645. As a line was forming we proceeded to wait in the sun. We got on board and seated and asked if we wanted anything, we though we night be able to order dinner (the salads were already pre set) but not yet we were told. So we eat our salad and proceed to wait 30+ mins before we can order our dinner. We ordered the short ribs, a while later we were brought the lamb. Rather than risk waiting another who knows how long we ate our lamb. The food was pretty good, as was the dessert. Which also didn't come for a while later. By the time we fished dinner we were almost back at the dock, so we missed most of the sight seeing and tour portion. There was an app to hear the tour from inside at our table. We both tried and failed to get the app to work. We paid extra as a Fourth of July dinner cruise to watch the fireworks. Another mixed bag as it was nice to watch them from the dock on the boat, the view was obstructed by the bridge (see photo). It was a nice dinner and unique experience, but it wasn't worth the cost. I would instead just take a river boat tour and get to hear the actual tour.

    I contacted an agent to help with my families three week trip to Europe. The agent was kind,…read morefriendly and knowledgeable so I was really excited to have her plan our trip. I followed up 1 week after the call and she let me know she would have something to me in a week. This was February 10th and the last I have heard since. Since February 10th, I have been unable to get a response from her or the company about the travel plan. I sent multiple kind emails asking for a timeline, left voicemails and spoke to the person who answered the main phone pleading for someone to call me back. Against my better judgement, I still stuck with it thinking they were helping me. A full month later, I have still not received an ounce of communication and we are having to move onto a different company. It is putting our family in a bad situation and now is a month of time wasted. I have no idea why this agent "ghosted me" and is refusing the event reply to an email or call me back. A simple, "I am still working on it" or "it turns out I don't have the bandwidth to handle your request" email would have sufficed, however I can't event get that from her or the company. It is really disappointing and very unprofessional. This is my first experience with a travel agent in over 20 years and it was disappointing to say the least. I'd caution you on using Willamette International Travel if this is the way they feel the need to treat their customers. I can't imagine this happening if a problem with a flight or hotel reservation would come up, you would be on your own to figure it out.

    I rarely use travel agents, but decided to when planning a multi-stop trip to Central and South…read moreAmerica. Jenne at Willamette Int'l Travel helped me research an array of options and was able to use some creativity to save me money. She was very helpful and responsive. I would certainly consider using them again if I am traveling internationally, or if you are looking at a flight/hotel combo.
