Happy Hour Cruise on the Portland Spirit

**PLEASE READ**
You'll need to buy tickets in advance at the link below.

See the city from a new perspective as you sail passed Portland’s iconic bridges, bald eagle nesting sites, unique floating homes, opulent homes of Dunthorpe, the West Coast’s most exclusive country club, and much more!

A lunch cruise on the Portland Spirit typically costs around $100, but the happy hour cruise is only $35 through September. There's a full bar and happy hour menu items for purchase.

The cruise is 1 1/2 hours and here's a little of what we'll see:
Hawthorne Bridge
Marquam Bridge
OMSI
Tilikum Crossing
Ross Island Bridge
Oaks Amusement Park
Sellwood Bridge
Waverley Country Club
Tom McCall Waterfront
Morrison Bridge
Burnside Bridge
Oregon Convention Center
Moda Center
Steel Bridge
Portland Oregon Sign

There's open seating on the ship. Dress is casual, but feel free to dress up if you'd like. Boarding time is 3pm, but I'd like to get there at 2:45pm so we can all hopefully get up on the top deck. There's limited seating up there, so you may need to stand. You may also want to bring sun protection, like a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen. There's historical narration played over the speakers, but we should still be able to hear each other talk. If a large number of people sign up, I'll hand out stickers so we can identify members of our group.

So, come out for a scenic, summer cruise through Portland and socialize with a few cool people!

**WHAT TO BRING**

**WHERE TO MEET**
We'll meet at the Salmon Street Dock at 2:45pm (click on the Google Map below for the exact location). Their address is: 1010 SW Naito Parkway, Portland, OR, 97204. Boarding time is at 3pm, but I'd like to get there a little early (2:45pm) so we can all hopefully get on the top deck, but there are no guarantees we will. You may need to park a few blocks from the meetup location, so take that into account. The boarding location and vessel are subject to change. I'll keep everyone updated if there are any changes.
