Willamette
River. Boarding will begin at 6:30 PM at the Portland Spirit Dock. Hors d’oeuvres and beverages will be provided. The return trip to the dock is 9:30 PM. Since there is no specific dress code, we recommend business casual. We strongly recommend that people do not wear high-heeled shoes and encourage people to wear solid,
non-slip footwear as we are in a marine environment. We do recommend wearing layered clothing as the climate on the river can be unpredictable. The Portland Spirit vessel offers fully enclosed, climate-controlled dining decks. Passengers may not bring food or beverages on board. Smoking is not permitted indoors at any time but is permitted in designated areas on the outside deck of the vessel.
Tickets for the cruise are included in the meeting registration fee and are required for boarding. Tickets will be provided inside the name badges for anyone registered. All attendees over 18years of age must present photo ID.
**No one over 18 years of ago will be permitted to board the cruise without a ticket and a photo ID.**
