Search Help
You can select more than one option in most of the form fields. Here are explanations of the search options we get asked about the most often:
Departure Port: If you only want to view results for cruises that start in a specific port, you can
specify it here. You can select more than one (to see cruises that start at certain ports). For example, you can select both New York and Boston if
you only want to view cruises that start in either New York or Boston.
→ In the "Advanced Search"
Arrival Port: If you only want to view results for cruises that end in a specific port, you can specify
it here. You can select more than one (to see cruises that end at certain ports). For example, you can select both New York and Boston if you only
want to view cruises that end in either New York or Boston.
Ports of Call: You can the type name of one port that you would like all your search results to include. For
example, if you type Barcelona all of the search results will include cruises that include Barcelona (even if it's not a starting or ending port in
the itinerary). Be sure to spell the port name correctly!
Max Occupancy: Allows you to view search results that only include ships that have accommodations for a minimum
amount of people per room. For example, if you select "5 and more" your search results will only include ships that have at least one room
type that would accommodate at least 5 people. The pricing that displays on the search results page will be the per person pricing based on a room for
two people. Proceed further in the online booking process to view the pricing for accommodations for a different occupancy.
Kid-Friendly: Shows cruises that are great choices for those traveling with children and teens. Includes ships
with youth programs and/or youth-friendly public spaces. Programs and public spaces are subject to change, at the discretion of the cruise line.
→ Cruise Only vs Cruise Line Tour
If you check the Cruise Only option, you will only see results that are for a cruise vacation. If you check the Cruise Line Tour option, you will only
see vacations that include a cruise + land tour package (also known as a Cruise Tour). Leave both unchecked to view results that include
both vacation types.

American West, formerly Queen of the West, sails along the beautiful river ways of the Pacific Northwest. Traveling
along both the Columbia and Snake Rivers between Clarkston, Washington and Portland, Oregon, guests are treated to green forests and
towering mountains. Queen of the West perfectly combines all the old-world appeal of the paddle-wheel with the modern amenities
expected in a modern cruise.
Recently refurbished, as of 2011, all staterooms, lounges, and even the galley are freshly renovated with new decor and furnishings. In
addition, private balconies were added to most cabins, a library was built on the third deck, and several cabins were converted to
singles. Despite the age of American West, these new renovations will give passengers a "new ship" feel when first
boarding.
American West is extremely focused on representing the Pacific Northwest in every way possible. During the day passengers can
explore the trails of the famous explorers Lewis and Clark, Visit Mt. Saint Helens, and even taste local vintages of wine. For dinner,
guests can enjoy freshly caught and picked local cuisine presented in American West's quaint dining room. Finally, after dinner
guests can enjoy talks from local experts on topics ranging from wine to history.
