The folk here are new to cruises. This port has only been in service for a few years, relative to some others. You will find a warm, friendly welcom from the citizens and local businesses. The tram that leaves close to the pier allows hop-on, hop-off service all the way to town (US $1.00 when we were there)

Astoria was on of the highlights; don't miss the Maritime Museum (dockside) or the trip to Fort Clatsop. Both are excellent. Astoria is a nice town too, with at least one good bookstore and several art galleries.

The Bowpicker is a must do. It's a land docked boat on an empty lot. They sell fish and chips from freshly caught fish. They close when they run out. Marine and 17th streets. Across the street from Columbia River Maritime Museum.

Astoria is building itself into a tourist destination. The citizens are extremely friendly and ready to help. Walk the boardwalk into the town centre or take the tram and hop on hop off along the route. If you dock on a farmers' market day, you'll be in for a treat.
