Holiday cruise savings

Pat Woods

If you prefer to be knee-deep in fun rather than turkey and wrapping paper this Christmas, treat yourself to a relaxing small ship cruise. Retirees who forego the usual holiday decorating, cooking, and entertaining are rewarded with handsome discounts--up to $800 per couple. The savings begin Thanksgiving week and continue through New Year's on Great Rivers of the West sternwheeler cruises from Portland, Oregon--if you book by Sept. 30. Small sternwheelers such as the Empress of the North and Queen of the West enable seniors to become acquainted with everyone aboard, including the all-American crew. The casual atmosphere and a single open seating allow you to dine with whomever you choose. To enable everyone to enjoy the scenery along the Columbia and Snake rivers, all staterooms have large windows.
