Boarding the S.S. Legacy in Portland felt a little like stepping back in time. Despite being recently refurbished, the Legacy was designed with history in mind. The stunning replica of an early Victorian steamer, I marveled at the woodwork and details as I first wandered around to gain my bearings.
From her carved wooden bar in the main common area to the Pesky Barnacle, a whiskey bar tucked away at the back of the dining room to the piano which graced the wall next to the espresso machine (very important), the ship provided the perfect setting in which to explore the legendary Columbia River. Quaint and comfortable, it was always nice to return ‘home’ at the end of the day and either snuggle up with a book or DVD from the ship’s library, settle in with a drink from the bar, or soak up the evening in one of the ship’s two hot tubs.

I found our cabin to be surprisingly large for a ship of only 88 passengers, the fitness area simple but equipped with what I needed, and the entire staff enthusiastic and eager to make our trip the best that it could be.
Fun fact: the S.S. Legacy is a record holder in the Guiness Book of World Records. For what, you ask? It boasts the world record for having the largest pair of googly eyes. Yes. Googly eyes. 48.06 inches worth. Really. They were measured and verified by two engineers and a lawyer. Unfortunately they have since been removed but if you really don't believe me, check it out here.
Very well ececuted. Hily recomended. Great experiance

I've worked with Adventure Life before in planning trips and appreciate the quality of trips they put together. They use knowledgeable local guides, comfortable lodgings, and assist with transportation. I find trip planning stressful, so am happy to turn it over to them. They work within our parameters of time, budget, activity level, and types of activities to give us great experiences!

We went to the Patagonia on the Chile side and Perito Moreno in El Calafate, Argentina. Eric of San Diego handled our trip with expertise. The preparation went smoothly, despite some changes on our part with scheduling conflicts. He offered great advice which made us feel at ease with all decisions on the trip. It was truly a great experience.
