Welcoming Visitors

Cruise Ambassadors

Cruise Ambassadors are the first friendly faces you’ll meet as you step off the ship at the Port of Astoria. At the Information Center, ambassadors greet passengers, offer walking maps of downtown Astoria, provide tips on local sites, and answer any questions. Think of them as your local guides—ready to help you make the most of your time ashore. Ambassadors are easy to spot in their blue apparel.

Exploring Astoria on Foot

The Riverwalk takes you along the Columbia River, where there are many photo opportunities.

Ambassadors are happy to point you toward the highlights, whether you’re interested in museums, shopping, or simply soaking up the waterfront views.
