This is the American Pride... a small river cruise ship that offers tours of the Pacific Northwest on the Columbia River. It is one of four American Cruise Line ships positioned on the Columbia River this year. And it’s not some old ship from a hundred years ago that’s been patched up to run again… this ship was built in 2012, so it has very up-to-date features. This paddlewheel powered river ship evokes images of Huckleberry Finn and the Mississippi River, doesn't it? In fact, American Cruise Line does operate ships on the Mississippi, too... but in the case of this particular one, the American Pride, it operates in Oregon and Washington on the Columbia River and the Snake River. Unlike the mega cruise ships, this ship was built in the United States, is flagged in the United States, and the entire crew are from the United States. The crew also fall under US labor laws… so, they’re working under far better conditions, working less hours, and for far better pay than the crew on the big cruise lines. It’s no wonder they call it “American Pride”! This aerial video was shot with a DJI Mini 2 drone along the Columbia River in Southeastern Washington during the summer of 2021.
